概要 Dry cranila specimens from 184 Suncus murinus from the wild Nagasaki (normal dentition) population and laboratory strains of KAT (normal dentition), NAG (missing I3) and TESS (missing P3) were examined to quantify the relationship between size variation and the influence of tooth absence in maxillary dentition. We first measured and analyzed maxillary tooth size variability in normal S. murinus based on the coefficient of variation (CV). Molariform teeth showed lower CVs, whereas unicuspid teeth showed relatively high CVs in shrews with normal dentitions. In this species, molariform teeth have complex cusps and clear ridges, whereas unicuspid teeth have no occlusal surface. In particular, I3 and P3 had relatively high CVs, and these teeth were commonly absent. We also examined the relationship between tooth size and number in this species.
