The morphological and ecological diversity of lemurs and lorisiformes once rivaled that of
the rest of the primate order. Here, we assemble a dataset of 3D models representing the …

Objectives The disappearance of the North American plesiadapoids (stem primates, or
plesiadapiforms) in the latest Paleocene has been attributed to competition with rodents …

Dental topographic metrics (DTMs), which quantify different aspects of the shape of teeth,
are powerful tools for studying dietary adaptation and evolution in mammals. Current DTM …

The ecology, and particularly the diet, of treeshrews (order Scandentia) is poorly understood
compared to that of their close relatives, the primates. This stems partially from treeshrews …

Understanding the paleoecology of extinct subfossil lemurs requires reconstruction of
dietary preferences. Tooth morphology is strongly correlated with diet in living primates and …

Among the Strepsirrhini, molar size does not exhibit a consistent dietary signal when body
mass is used to size-adjust molar dimensions. This observation is also true for anthropoid …

The goal of this research is to evaluate the relative strength of the influences of diet, size,
and phylogenetic signal on dental geometric shape. Accurate comprehension of these …

Fossil primate dietary inference is enhanced when ascertained through multiple, distinct
proxies. Dental topography can be used to assess changes in occlusal morphology with …

Dental topographic analysis allows comparisons of variably worn teeth within and between
species to infer relationships between dental form and diet in living primates, with …

HE BEHAVIORIST studying adaptations for foraging in a nonhuman primate has available a
living, breathing subject. The species on which study focuses is readily recognized from …
