Abstract: Extant hyraxes are small, rabbit-sized, herbivorous paenungulates, with a notable feeding mechanism: they crop with the molars instead of the incisors, unlike most modern hoofed mammals. We investigated the postnatal development of the skull, and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.zool.2018.06.003
Abstract: Ontogenetic variation of cranial characters used in crocodylian phylogenetic systematics has never been studied. Furthermore, the relationship between diet and skull morphological transformation during ontogeny has not been properly explored yet. We quantify the inter-… read more here.
