Facing the facts: Adaptive trade-offs along body size ranges determine mammalian craniofacial scaling
D. R. Mitchell, E. Sherratt, V. Weisbecker
This paper investigates craniofacial scaling in mammals, finding that facial gracilisation with size is common but not universal, driven by bite force allometry and phylogenetic constraints.
