Different mammals, same structure: co-occurrence structure across the Plio-Pleistocene transition

Functional richness in past mammal communities increased ecosystem resilience.

Here, we compare functional disparity measured by biomechanical proxies and character disparity measured by discrete morphological characters in turtle jaws. Exploration of mandibular patterns reveal...
