Objectives The food that people and animals consume leaves microscopic traces on teeth in
predictable ways, and analyses of these markings—known as dental microwear analyses …

Diet is widely recognized as the single most important parameter underlying" behavioral and
ecological differences among living animals. Bioarchaeologists and paleontologists …

Dental microwear has long been used as evidence concerning the diets of extinct species.
Here, we present a comparative baseline series of dental microwear textures for a sample of …

Objectives Studies of dental microwear of bioarchaeological assemblages and extant
mammals from museum collections show that surface texture can provide a valuable proxy …

Dental microwear analysts have demonstrated that hard diets leave numerous microscopic
pits on occlusal surfaces. The relationship between occlusal pitting and gross macrowear …

Buccal microwear patterns on enamel surfaces of primate teeth have shown a significantly
higher interspecific than intraspecific variability. Striation density and length by orientation …

Objectives Dental microwear is a promising tool to reconstruct animals' diet because it
reflects the interplay between the enamel surface and the food items recently consumed …

Dental microwear studies often analyze casts rather than original surfaces, although the
information loss associated with reproduction is rarely considered. To investigate the …

Diet and behavioral strategies of modern humans are examined through several indirect
and direct lenses. One of the direct lenses is dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) …

Objectives Two‐dimensional dental microwear analyses on occlusal and nonocclusal
enamel surfaces have been widely applied to reconstruct the feeding behaviors of extant …
