Evidence of strong stabilizing effects on the evolution of boreoeutherian (Mammalia) dental proportions

Abstract The dentition is an extremely important organ in mammals with variation in timing and sequence of eruption, crown morphology, and tooth size enabling a range of behavioral, dietary, and functional adaptations across the class. Within this suite of variable mammalian dental phenotypes, relat...
