Phenotypic flexibility of gape anatomy fine-tunes the aquatic prey-capture system of newts.

Scientific reports - 7 Jul 2016

Van Wassenbergh Sam, Heiss Egon

Abstract excerpt

A unique example of phenotypic flexibility of the oral apparatus is present in newts (Salamandridae) that seasonally change between an aquatic and a terrestrial habitat. Newts grow flaps of skin between their upper and lower jaws, the labial lobes, to partly close the corners of the mouth when they adopt an aquatic lifestyle during their breeding season. Using hydrodynamic simulations based on μCT-scans and...
