Chewing shrews: Examining the morphology and function of the masticatory musculature in Soricidae via diffusible iodine-based contrast-enhanced computed tomography

Essential for sustaining a high metabolic rate is the efficient fragmentation of food, which is determined by molar morphology and the movement of the jaw. The latter is related to the jaw morphology and the arrangement of the masticatory muscles. Soricid jaw apparatuses are unique among mammals, as...
