Using dental mesowear and microwear for dietary inference: a review of current techniques and applications
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 …

Mesowear represents a lifetime signal in sheep (Ovis aries) within a long-term feeding experiment
A herbivore's diet can affect its teeth by causing different types of wear. Browsers typically
have sharper, higher cusps, while grazers show lower, blunter cusps, presumably due to the …

[HTML][HTML] A new giraffid (Mammalia, Ruminantia, Pecora) from the late Miocene of Spain, and the evolution of the sivathere-samothere lineage
Giraffids include the only living giraffomorph ruminants and are diagnosed by the presence
of bi-lobed canines and a special type of epiphyseal cranial appendages called ossicones …
