Functional morphological analysis of terrestrial feeding in amphibious fishes University of Antwerp
Strikingly little is know about the evolution of a terrestrial feeding apparatus in the first terrestrial tetrapods. The purpose of the proposed research is to gain functional morphological insight in the way that the cranial and postcranial musculoskeletal system works during terrestrial feeding in extant amphibious fishes. This insight will form the basis to identify potential preadaptation to terrestrial feeding in the fossil record.
