Supernumerary teeth in Lynx lynx and the irreversibility of evolution
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
Since supernumerary dental elements are absent in the plesiomorphic sister-groups of L. lynx, they represent a true evolutionary reversal, and, like all rules based on probabilities, the authors should expect to find exceptions in the fossil record.
