Nevertheless, there is a clear trend of shape changes associated with bite force ratios; species with higher mechanical efficiency (bite force: input force ratios) tend to have a shorter rostrum, deeper and anteroposteriorly more elongate temporalis regions, and more anterodorsally positioned and deeper masseter regions on the zygomatic arches.
