Adaptive problems and possibilities in the temporal fenestration of tetrapod skulls
@article{Frazzetta1968AdaptivePA, title={Adaptive problems and possibilities in the temporal fenestration of tetrapod skulls}, author={T. Frazzetta}, journal={Journal of Morphology}, year={1968}, volume={125} }
Adaptive explanations for the temporal fenestration in reptiles are briefly reviewed. With few possible exceptions, fenestrate appeared first in the reptiles, and have seemingly evolved independently in several different phyletic lines.
