En los mamíferos, la morfología de los dientes y su función se relaciona con la dieta. A manera de introducción comparo cuerpos mandibulares de varias especies y más específicamente comparo los dientes de tres especies de murciélagos filostómidos que siguen una dieta frugívora, insectívora y omnívora. Finalizo comentando sobre el movimiento de la mandíbula en mamíferos.

In mammals, the morphology of teeth and their function is linked to diet. As an introduction I compare the mandibular bodies of several species and more specifically I compare the teeth of three species of phyllostomid bats that follow a frugivorous, insectivorous and omnivorous diet. I conclude by commenting on mandible movement in mammals.
