Late to the table: diversification of tetrapod mandibular biomechanics lagged behind the evolution of terrestriality.

Integrative and comparative biology - 1 Aug 2013

Anderson Philip S L, Friedman Matt, Ruta Marcello

Abstract excerpt

The origin of digit-bearing tetrapods in the Middle to Late Devonian (ca. 393-360 Mya) and their subsequent invasion of land represent a classic case of a major evolutionary radiation driven by new ecological opportunities. In this and other examples, exploration of new eco-space is hypothesized to correlate with functional innovation and adaptive divergence of phenotypes. Simultaneous changes in all...
