Armed to the teeth: The underestimated diversity in tooth shape in snakes and its relation to feeding behavior and diet

Marion Segall et al.

Summary: In this study, the morphology of dentary teeth in 63 snake species was compared. It was found that prey hardness, foraging substrate, and the main feeding mechanical challenge are important factors affecting tooth shape, size, and curvature in snakes. Long, slender, curved teeth with a thin layer of hard tissue are observed in species that need to maintain a grip on their prey, while short, stout, less curved teeth are associated with species that undergo high or repeated loads.

Dental structure and tooth attachment modes in the common fangtooth Anoplogaster cornuta (Valenciennes, 1833) (Actinopterygii; Trachichthyiformes; Anoplogastridae)

Horst Kierdorf et al.

Summary: In this study, the structure and attachment modes of the teeth of adult Anoplogaster cornuta were investigated. The oral jaw teeth were firmly ankylosed to their respective dentigerous bone, while the pharyngeal teeth exhibited a ring-like fibrous attachment to their supporting bones, providing them with some lateral mobility. These findings provide insights into the functional roles of different teeth in feeding and prey capture.
