Given that the first incisor has a replacement tooth, that replacement represents a third generation (i.e., polyphyodonty). Our results show that Dongoconodon falls within the locomotor morphospace formed by the nine semiaquatic species, with a 100% posterior probability supporting a semiaquatic locomotor mode.
