SEB Annual Conference 2022

2022 will find over 1500 experimental biologists from across the globe converging on the third-largest French city near the Mediterranean coast and the fastest-growing city in the country over the past 25 years - Montpellier, France

Complex jaw kinematics during chewing are often interpreted as a derived amniote trait, or even a trait unique to mammals. Contrary to these views, this review compiles data from diverse gnathostome jaw systems, including recent biplanar videofluoroscopy analyzes to support the relegation of the origin of rhythmic and cyclic chewing with dimensionally complex jaw kinematics to the base of the gnathostome phylogeny. These data come from taxa often claimed not to chew but instead swallow food whole or relatively unprocessed, including elasmobranch stingrays, teleostean pacus, sirenid salamanders, and anseriform birds. The new examples of dimensionally complex chewing include not only dorsoventral (arcuate) jaw rotations, but also rostrocaudal (propalinal) and transverse jaw movements, which are jaw movements considered diagnostic of mammalian mastication. Like in mammals, propalinal and transverse jaw movements across these groups are facilitated by complex suspensorial and jaw joint anatomies and driven by architecturally diverse jaw adductor muscles. Dimensionally complex chewing kinematics are not limited to mandibular motion but are also seen in hyoid (tongue) kinematics from suction feeding to chewing in terrestrial newts and ambystomatid salamanders, suggesting that the origin of 3D food handling predates mammals. Future studies should include comparative sensorimotor analyses of basal, dimensionally complex chewing systems to determine how metabolic efficiency is maintained and dental wear is minimized to extend individual life-spans across these diverse vertebrate groups.
