What movements would occur when muscles pull on the retroarticular process of the lower jaw of Alligator and the coronoid process of the lower jaw of Canis? What would be the effect of these processes being longer or shorter?

Answer:
Crocodilians exhibit a spectrum of rostral shape from long snouted (longirostrine), through to short snouted (brevirostrine) morphologies. The proportional length of the mandibular symphysis correlates consistently with rostral shape, forming as much as 50% of the mandible’s length in longirostrine forms, but 10% in brevirostrine crocodilians. Here we analyse the structural consequences of an elongate mandibular symphysis in relation to feeding behaviours.
