Small changes, big results: evolution of morphological discontinuity in mammals.

Journal of biology - 1 Jan 2008

Honeycutt Rodney L

Abstract excerpt

Comparative morphological and developmental studies, including a recent comparative study of tooth development among the Afrotherian mammals, are indicating the types of genetic mechanisms responsible for the evolution of morphological differences among major mammalian groups.
