  Loss of the third upper premolar in Suncus murinus and its relation to jaw size
• Creator:

• Description:
  Musk shrew Suncus murinus (Linnaeus, 1766) has a very reduced P3, and it is often missing. Hanamura (1985), based on a sample from Okinawa Island, proposed that the high incidence in P3 loss was a distinguishing characteristic of musk shrew. However, while the Okinawa population lacked P3 in 26 of 95 individuals (27.4%), specimens from Taiwan showed no P3 loss. Thus, the high indicence of P3 loss is not one of distinguishing characteristic of musk shrews.;
