Then she looked for signs of hypercarnivory, such as the depth of the jaw.
The foramen is enormous, covering nearly the entire depth of the jaw in modern cetaceans and remingtonocetids, unlike pakicetids, where it is smaller (Fig. 18).
The depth of the lower jaw indicates the presence of a large tongue, which could have assisted the animal in sucking in food material obtained with the broad beak when foraging on the bottom of freshwater bodies.
The stepwise discriminant analysis identified five traits (from 16 original variables: SVL, body condition, relative head depth, relative jaw length, number of ticks, presence of haemogregarines, and coloration (spectral location, purity and intensity of four body regions)) that differentiated males based on genetic background.
Body size was correlated with relative head depth, relative jaw length, hue of the dorsolateral and side regions, ventral chroma and throat and ventral brightness (Table 1).
Monitoring of the depth of anesthesia was based on the absence of jaw tone.
Marginal bone loss was significantly influenced by implant depth, implant location, and the interactions implant depth × jaw, implant location × timing of implant placement, and jaw × implant diameter.
We converted mass, head depth and jaw length to size-free variables by taking the residuals of these variables regressed against SVL.
The adequacy of the depth of anesthesia was assessed by monitoring the jaw tone.
Depth of anaesthesia was assessed by performing a jaw thrust manoeuvre [ 9, 10].
The depth of anesthesia was assessed by monitoring the jaw tone regularly.
