Ecological groups differ in patterns of disparity, convergence and rates of evolution, indicating that divergent evolutionary mechanisms are responsible for the acquisition of different diets and habitats. Our analyses support that lepidosaurs ancestrally use their jaws to capture prey, contrary to the traditional view favouring lingual prehension as ancestral. Leer más.
