Insights into the ecology and evolutionary success of crocodilians revealed through bite-force and tooth-pressure experimentation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BackgroundCrocodilians have dominated predatory niches at the water-land interface for over 85 million years. Like their ancestors, living species show substantial variation in their jaw proportions, dental form and body size. These differences are often
