..., as their predators, in turn, often wield specialized weapons (Chai et al., 2009 ; Constantino et al., 2011 ; Lucas et al., 2008 ; Vermeij, 1987 ; West et al., 1991 ; Zipser and Vermeij, 1978). Fracture of mollusk shells, a common method of durophagy, has been studied primarily in terms of the slow crushing...

... a durophagous raptorial biting mode characterized by large gapes, large gape angles and lack of lateral gape occlusion. The shorter skulls and mandibles of sea otters, along with increased mechanical advantages of the masseter and increased bite force, form a repertoire of functional traits for durophagy. Here...
