  Abstract

    This contribution contains 3D models of upper molar rows of Cypriot mice (Mus cypriacus) and house mice (Mus musculus domesticus) from the island of Cyprus. Although morphologically similar and occasionally syntopic, the two species differ in habitat use and dietary strategies, ranging from anthropogenic resources in M. m. domesticus to a more natural and diversified trophic niche in M. cypriacus. Mandibular and molar shape variation was quantified through 3D geometric morphometrics, enabling the detection of interspecific differences, allometric trends, and age-related dental wear trajectories. The morphometric descriptors were evaluated for their capacity to capture phylogenetic divergence, ecological specialization, and ontogenetic dynamics. Results highlight that subtle morphological signals can expose fine-scale ecological processes and species-specific adaptive strategies.

3D models related to the publication: “Molar wear in house mice: insight into diet preferences at an ecological time scale?”

Published online: 28/07/2023

Keywords: dental functional morphology; mastication; Mus musculus domesticus; Sub-Antarctic environment

https://doi.org/10.18563/journal.m3.200

  Abstract

    This contribution contains 3D models of upper molar rows of house mice (Mus musculus domesticus) belonging to Western European commensal and Sub-Antarctic feral populations. These two groups are characterized by different patterns of wear and alignment of the three molars along the row, related to contrasted masticatory demand in relation with their diet. These models are analyzed in the following publication: Renaud et al 2023, “Molar wear in house mice, insight into diet preferences at an ecological time scale?”, https://doi.org/10.1093/biolinnean/blad091

3D models related to the publication: Wild versus lab house mice: Effects of age, diet, and genetics on molar geometry and topography.
Sabrina Renaud Logo, Caroline Romestaing Logo and Yoland Savriama Logo
Published online: 06/08/2021

Keywords: dental functional morphology; geometric morphometrics; hybridization; mastication; occlusal relief

https://doi.org/10.18563/journal.m3.141

  Abstract

    This contribution contains 3D models of upper molar rows of house mice (Mus musculus domesticus). The erupted part of the right row is presented for specimens belonging to four groups: wild-trapped mice, wild-derived lab offspring, a typical laboratory strain (Swiss) and hybrids between wild-derived and Swiss mice. These models are analyzed in the following publication: Savriama et al 2021: Wild versus lab house mice: Effects of age, diet, and genetics on molar geometry and topography. https://doi.org/10.1111/joa.13529
