High‐crowned (hypsodont) teeth are widely found among both extant and extinct
mammalian herbivores. Extant grazing ungulates (hoofed mammals) have hypsodont teeth …

Social interactions help group-living organisms cope with socio-environmental challenges
and are central to survival and reproductive success. Recent research has shown that social …

This paper presents a brief synopsis of work on relationships between mammalian tooth
form and function, and considers the role of dental wear in studies of mammal teeth …

Range expansion and increasing densities of large herbivores are held responsible for
large‐scale habitat degradation in a wide range of natural and semi‐natural ecosystems …

Hypsodonty has long been recognized as an adaptation for grazing: grazing is suggested to
increase tooth wear due to endogenous (eg, fiber, silica) and/or exogenous (eg, dust, grit) …

Although patterns of tooth wear are crucial in palaeo‐reconstructions, and dental wear
abnormalities are important in veterinary medicine, experimental investigations on the …

The independent acquisition of high-crowned cheek teeth (hypsodonty) in several ungulate
lineages (eg, camels, equids, rhinoceroses) in the early to middle Miocene of North America …

Background Primates—including fossil species of apes and hominins—show variation in
their degree of molar enamel thickness, a trait long thought to reflect a diet of hard or tough …

Terrestrial plant leaves are complex structures of composite materials. Resistance to fracture
is achieved by a number of mechanisms, which operate at the molecular, cell, tissue, and …
