Article
Full-text available
A new and uniquely structured matrix of mammalian phenotypes, MaTrics ( Ma mmalian Tr aits for Comparative Genom ics ) in a digital form is presented. By focussing on mammalian species for which genome assemblies are available, MaTrics provides an interface between mammalogy and comparative genomics. MaTrics was developed within a project aimed to...
Method
This manual has been developed in the framework of the project ‘Identifying genomic loci underlying mammalian phenotypic variability using Forward Genomics’ which was funded by the Leibniz Gemeinschaft (SAW-2016-SGN-2). The project brought together an interdisciplinary scientific network covering the fields of morphology (Work Modules M1/M2, ‘Pheno...

Poster
Golden moles have zalambdodont molars with a reduced metacone in the upper and a reduced talonid in the lower molars. Generally the molar dentition of Chrysochloris asiatica is considered as representative for the molar pattern of golden moles, neglecting the morphological diversity within Chrysochloridae. The functional morphology of 15 specimens...
Poster
The molars of Eutheria are derived from the plesiomorphic tribosphenic pattern. The tribosphenic molar is characterized by a combination of shear-cutting and a crushing and grinding interaction of the upper molarprotocone and the lower molar talonid basin. The power stroke of the chewing movement is divided into two distinct phases separated by cen...
Poster
The molars of the extant golden moles are an excellent example for zalambdodont teeth. Commonly the dentition of Chrysochloris asiatica is considered typical for the family. However, there is in fact a remarkable morphological diversity and the molars of the golden moles can be classified into three patterns: (i), with protocone and entoconid, (ii)...
