N2 - It is inevitable that we conduct research within the lens of existing paradigms, but Thomas Kuhn argued that re-evaluation of assumptions encourages paradigm shifts. For over 150 y, the coevolution of grasses and large mammalian herbivores has interested biologists and has become a classic textbook paradigm of adaptation. Valerio et al.’s contribution prompts a fresh look at the assumptions underlying this paradigm.
