牙齿排列的复杂性与饮食有关，因此可以用来预测灭绝物种的饮食。·在这里，我们调查离体牙齿是否可以用于重建饮食。·无论牙齿位置是否已知，孤立的下牙都可以合理地预测饮食。·牙齿复杂性与相对牙齿大小的抑制级联规则相关，并且抑制很可能控制这两个特征。
Tooth row complexity is correlated with diet, and so can be used to predict diet in extinct species. • Here, we investigate whether isolated teeth can be used to reconstruct diet. • Isolated lower teeth were reasonable in predicting diet whether tooth position is known or not. • Dental complexity is correlated with the inhibitory cascade rule of relative tooth sizes, and it is likely that inhibition controls both features.
