Journal ArticleDOI
Scaling of feeding biomechanics in the horn shark Heterodontus francisci: ontogenetic constraints on durophagy
TL;DR: Positive allometry of biting performance appears to facilitate an earlier entry into the durophagous niche than would an isometric ontogenetic trajectory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Specialized specialists and the narrow niche fallacy: a tale of scale-feeding fishes.
TL;DR: A stark contrast is recovered between the feeding morphology of scale-feeding and non-scale-feeding taxa, with lepidophagous fishes displaying some paedomorphic characters through to adulthood.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Natural Historian's Guide to the CT Galaxy: Step-by-Step Instructions for Preparing and Analyzing Computed Tomographic (CT) Data Using Cross-Platform, Open Access Software.

TL;DR: This work presents a workflow based on free, open source, cross-platform software for processing CT data, and provides step-by-step instructions that start with acquiring CT data from a new reconstruction or an open access repository, and progress through visualizing, measuring, landmarking, and constructing digital 3D models of anatomical structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Morphology does not predict performance: jaw curvature and prey crushing in durophagous stingrays.
TL;DR: Disparate jaw morphologies are functionally equivalent in a diverse family of hard-prey-feeding stingrays, despite their prey spanning a continuum of shell structural and material properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biogeography of the neotropical freshwater stingrays (Myliobatiformes: Potamotrygoninae) reveals effects of continent-scale paleogeographic change and drainage evolution
TL;DR: This work investigates the biogeographical and chronological patterns of diversification for the marine‐derived Neotropical freshwater stingrays (subfamily Potamotrygoninae) at a continental scale.
