Hypsodonty and tooth facet development in relation to diet and habitat in herbivorous ungulates: implications for understanding tooth wear
The evolution of high‐crowned teeth or hypsodonty in herbivorous mammals is widely
interpreted as a species‐specific adaptation to increasingly wear‐inducing diets and …
