Lucas builds his account of the function and evolution of mammalian teeth around considerations of how teeth adapt to diet (in particular, around analyses of how food particles fracture). (science.sciencemag.org)
These results fit with a growing body of work within evolutionary developmental biology that very simple, straightforward developmental rules are responsible for the generation of the myriad complexity of dental features found within mammalian teeth. (sciencedaily.com)
