The inter-relationship between dietary and environmental properties and tooth wear: comparisons of mesowear, molar wear rate, and hypsodonty index of extant sika …

MO Kubo, E Yamada - PLoS One, 2014 - journals.plos.org
In reference to the evolutionary trend of increasing cheek tooth height in herbivorous
ungulates, the causes of dental abrasion have long been debated. Interspecific comparisons
of extant ungulates have revealed that both phytoliths in grass and external abrasive matter
may play important roles. Using analysis of extant sika deer living in various environments
and showing continuous latitudinal variation in food habits from northern grazing to southern
browsing, we quantitatively evaluated the influence of dietary and environmental properties …
