The Evolution and Development of Molar Size Among Exudate‐Feeding Lorises and Bushbabies

Our results demonstrate that we can explain patterns of phenotypic variation, as they relate to diet, using a developmental framework, thereby providing a link between genotype and phenotype. Furthermore, our results weaken the case for a connection between the evolution of the toothcomb and exudativory as it is unlikely that the earliest strepsirrhines (e.g., Karanisia) were exudativorous.
