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 …

Dietary ecology is one key to understanding the biology, lifeways, and evolutionary
pathways of many animals. Determining the diets of long‐extinct hominins, however, is a …

This work studies multiscale analyses and characterizations of surface topographies from
the engineering and scientific literature with an emphasis on production engineering …

Reconstructing the diets of extinct hominins is essential to understanding the paleobiology
and evolutionary history of our lineage. Dental microwear, the study of microscopic tooth …

Dental microwear analysis is commonly used to infer aspects of diet in extinct primates.
Conventional methods of microwear analysis have usually been limited to two-dimensional …

Dental microwear analysis is among the most commonly used approaches to reconstructing
the diets of extinct animal species and past peoples. The usual procedure involves imaging …

A new method of scoring dental microscopic use wear, initially developed for and applied to
extant and extinct ungulates, is here applied to primates, and the efficacy of the method as a …

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 …

Determining the diet of an extinct species is paramount in any attempt to reconstruct its
paleoecology. Because the distribution and mechanical properties of food items may impact …

Bovids are often used as paleoenvironmental proxies because they are among the most
commonly recovered large mammals at many fossil hominin sites and because modern …
