摘要: Background Secondary adaptation to aquatic life occurred independently in several amniote lineages, including reptiles during the Mesozoic and mammals Cenozoic. These evolutionary shifts environments imply major morphological modifications, especially of feeding apparatus. (250–65 Myr) marine reptiles, such as ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs, mosasaurid squamates, crocodiles, turtles, exhibit a wide range adaptations broad overlap their tooth morphospaces with those Cenozoic mammals. However, despite these multiple behavior convergences, suction feeding, though being common strategy vertebrates particular, has been extremely rarely reported for reptiles.
