    1. Disparity, the diversity of form and function of organisms

      This paper just talks about disparity in groups, not really relating it to diet but it does contain some links to papers that do talk about jaw relating to diet and I think that tommorow's mission should be to check that out.

    1. The dentitions of a few mustelid and viverrid species do not reflect their present diet, and this mismatch between dental form and function suggests that other factors, such as phylogeny, are important in the shaping of mammalian dentitions

      This is a cool thing to say later during discussion.

      This is a sentence that I should definitely include in my dissertation, and then I can follow up with the like exact jargon that describes a carnassial??
