Cusp offsets show diverse evolutionary patterns across the phylogeny of muroids. The plot shows the range of protoconid (white arrow) and metaconid (black arrow) angular values measured for extant and extinct muroid families (Materials and Methods; Table S1). Mouse (Murinae) and vole (Arvicolinae) cusp offsets are in the extreme ends of muroids. The teeth are not to scale.
