Neoecology and paleoecology both seek to answer the same questions, albeit using
different material, at different time scales and with different limitations. Nevertheless, too …

The analysis of dental microwear is commonly used by paleontologists and anthropologists
to clarify the diets of extinct species, including herbivorous and carnivorous mammals …

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 texture analysis (DMTA) is widely used for diet inferences in extant and
extinct vertebrates. Often, a reference tooth position is analysed in extant specimens, while …

Mesowear and microwear analyses use data from worn tooth surfaces as proxies for feeding
ecology. Mesowear is based on gross dental wear and forms over months to years. The …

A common approach to dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) uses confocal
profilometry in concert with scale-sensitive fractal analysis to help understand the diets of …

Objectives The current study seeks to determine if a sample of foragers, farmers, and
pastoralists are distinguishable based on their dental microwear texture signatures …

Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) is a common wear proxy using dental wear
features to reconstruct diet in extant and extinct taxa. Dietary reconstructions of extinct …

Dental microwear has been used in paleoecology for nearly half a century. The advent of
technologies in the past decade has allowed for enamel surfaces to be scanned in 3D, and …

Dietary information of fossil mammals can be revealed via the analysis of tooth morphology,
tooth wear, tooth geochemistry, and the microscopic wear patterns on tooth surfaces …
