APPENDIX 1.

Specimens included in this study that were downloaded from the MorphoSource online repository (morphosource.org). (Download zipped file of Appendices.)

APPENDIX 2.

Scanner information and settings for all specimens (extant and fossil) used in this study. Specimens with an asterisk (*) were downloaded from the MorphoSouce online repository (morphosource.org)–please contact MorphoSource for more information regarding scanner information and scanner settings. Abbreviations: Ave, averaging; exp., exposure; kV, kilovolts; move., movement; rot., rotation; uA, microampere (current). (Download zipped file of Appendices.)

APPENDIX 3.

Dental topographic analysis (DTA) values for our sample of extant mammals. The sex and status (c = captive; w = wild) for each individual are also provided. The three Cheirogaleus medius specimens marked with an asterisk are individuals that are described by Yapuncich et al. (2019) as being “captive (but free ranging).”(Download zipped file of Appendices.)

Dental topographic metrics (DTA) values for our sample of NALK metatherians. (Download zipped file of Appendices.)

APPENDIX 5.

Posterior probabilities of dietary categories resulting from discriminant function analysis (DFA) for our extant mammal dataset and NALK metatherian dataset using the OPCR parameter minimum patch count = 5. The highest posterior probability representing the diet identified by DFA is in bold. Posterior probabilities < 0.001 are not reported. Other posterior probabilities that are within 0.10 to the highest posterior probability are marked with an asterisk. Fossil specimens are listed directly after the extant sample. Abbreviations for diet categories: ado = animal-dominated omnivore; carn = carnivore; frug = frugivore; inv = invertivore; pdo = plant-dominated omnivore; sis = soft-invertebrate specialist. (Download zipped file of Appendices.)
