Feeding kinematics and morphology of the alligator gar (Atractosteus spatula, Lacépède, 1803)
Abstract
Living gars are a small clade of seven species that occupy an important position on the actinopterygian phylogenetic tree as members of Holostei, sister‐group to teleosts, and exhibit many plesiomorphic traits used to interpret and reconstruct early osteichthyan feeding mechanisms. Previous studies of gar feeding kinematics have focused on the ram‐based, lateral‐snapping mode of prey capture found in the narrow‐snouted Lepisosteus genus, whereas...
