Table 1.
Values of body mass, from the Animal Ageing and Longevity Database (http://genomics.senescence.info/species) for extant rodents and from [32] for Kryptobaatar, and bite forces from FE model outputs used to calculate the size-corrected bite force quotient (BFQ) at the incisors (BFQi), rearmost molars (BFQm) and fourth lower premolar for Kryptobaatar (BFQp). Equation used for BFQ calculation is provided in the electronic supplementary material.
