Insights into the ecology and evolutionary success of crocodilians revealed through bite-force and tooth-pressure experimentation.
<h4>Background</h4>Crocodilians 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 assumed to reflect anato...
