Jaw morphology and fighting forces in stag beetles [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2016 The jaws of different species of stag beetles show a large variety of shapes and sizes. The male jaws are used as weapons in fights, and they may exert a very forceful bite in some species. We investigated in 16 species whether and how their forcefulness is reflected in their jaw morphology.
