The economy of tinkering mammalian teeth.

Novartis Foundation symposium - 1 Jan 2007

Jernvall Jukka, Salazar-Ciudad Isaac

Abstract excerpt

A central aim of evolutionary developmental research is to decipher the relative roles of ecological and molecular interactions in explaining biological diversity. Tetrapod teeth show diverse evolutionary patterns with a repeated increase in dental complexity, especially in response to herbivorous habits. Most extensively in mammals, dentition increases in complexity by elaborating morphology of individual teeth...
