## Abstract The nurse shark, __Ginglymostoma cirratum__, is an obligate suction feeder that preys on benthic invertebrates and fish. Its cranial morphology exhibits a suite of structural and functional modifications that facilitate this mode of prey capture. During suction‐feeding, subambient press

The skull of the sunbeam snake Xenopeltis unicolor is described and illustrated. In most aspects the skull features are relatable to primitive alethinophidian snakes (henophidian vs. caenophidian snakes of some systems). There are skull characters in common with those of anilioids and others that ar

Since the early seventies over 300 studies have used the cremaster muscle as a flap model, yet little has been reported on the upstream feeding vessels of this muscle. The purpose of this study was to investigate the anatomy of the cranial feeding vessels of the left and right cremaster muscle in Sp

A comparison of nineteen taxa of teleost fishes suggests the gradual acquisition of systems of upper jaw protrusion in the course of fish evolution. However, in view of the loss of protrusion in several groups of advanced teleosts the biomechanicsofprotrusile jaws are analysed based on the hydrodyna
