DEVELOPMENTAL BASIS OF TOOTHLESSNESS IN TURTLES: INSIGHT INTO CONVERGENT EVOLUTION OF VERTEBRATE MORPHOLOGY
Abstract
The tooth is a major component of the vertebrate feeding apparatus and plays a crucial role in species survival, thus subjecting tooth developmental programs to strong selective constraints. However, irrespective of their functional importance, teeth have been lost in multiple lineages of tetrapod vertebrates independently. To understand both the generality and the diversity of developmental mechanisms that cause tooth agenesis in tetrapods, we...
