The near global success reached by hadrosaurid dinosaurs during the Cretaceous has been attributed to their ability to masticate (chew). This behavior is more commonly recognized as a mammalian adaptation and, as a result, its occurrence in a non-mammalian lineage should be accompanied with several evolutionary modifications associated with food collection and processing. The current study investigates morphological variation in a specific cranial complex, the dentary, a major element of the hadrosauroid lower jaw. 89 dentaries were subjected to morphometric and statistical analyses to investigate the clade’s taxonomic-, ontogenetic-, and individual variation in dentary morphology. Results indicate that food collection and processing became...
