Evolution of novelty in the cichlid dentition.

Journal of experimental zoology. Part B, Molecular and developmental evolution - 15 May 2006

Streelman Jeffrey Todd, Albertson R Craig

Abstract excerpt

The shape of teeth occupies a central position in various biological disciplines, from paleo-ecology to molecular biology to cosmetic and reconstructive dentistry. Despite a long tradition of study in mammals, important questions remain regarding the genetic and developmental basis of differences in tooth shape. Here, we use natural mutants of cichlid fish from East Africa, which exhibit tremendous dental...
