- W4384206907 abstract "Abstract Fossil Alligator remains from Asia are critical for tracing the enigmatic evolutionary origin of the Chinese alligator, Alligator sinensis , the only living representative of Alligatoridae outside the New World. The Asian fossil record is extremely scarce and it remains unknown whether A. sinensis is an anagenetic lineage or alternatively, extinct divergent species were once present. We provide a detailed comparative description of a morphologically highly distinct Alligator skull from the Quaternary of Thailand. Several autapomorphic characters warrant the designation of a new species. Alligator munensis sp. nov. shares obvious derived features with A. sinensis but autapomorphies imply a cladogenetic split, possibly driven by the uplift of the southeastern Tibetan plateau. The presence of enlarged posterior alveoli in Alligator munensis is most consistent with a reversal to the alligatorine ancestral condition of having crushing dentition, a morphology strikingly absent among living alligatorids. Crushing dentition has been previously considered to indicate an ecological specialisation in early alligatorines that was subsequently lost in Alligator spp . However, we argue that there is yet no evidence for crushing dentition reflecting an adaptation for a narrower niche, while opportunistic feeding, including seasonal utilisation of hard-shelled preys, is a reasonable alternative interpretation of its function." @default.
