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

Diets estimated from different proxies such as stable isotopes, stomach contents, and dental
microwear often disagree, leading to nominally well‐supported but greatly differing …

Dental Functional Morphology offers an alternative to the received wisdom that teeth merely
crush, cut, shear or grind food and shows how teeth adapt to diet. Providing an analysis of …

Large mammalian herbivores (megafauna) have experienced extinctions and declines since
prehistory. Introduced megafauna have partly counteracted these losses yet are thought to …

Rodents are important components of nearly every terrestrial ecosystem and display
considerable ecological diversity. Nevertheless, a lack of data on the ecomorphology of …

The evolution of high‐crowned teeth or hypsodonty in herbivorous mammals is widely
interpreted as a species‐specific adaptation to increasingly wear‐inducing diets and …

Ecomorphological and biogeochemical (trace element, and carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen
isotope ratios) analyses have been used for determining the dietary niches and habitat …

The behaviour, physiology and morphology of animals are the outcome of adaptations to
particular ecological niches they occupy or once occupied. Studying the correlation between …

A major step in mammalian evolution was the shift amongst many herbivorous clades from a
browsing diet of leaves to a grazing diet of grasses. This was associated with (1) major …

Hypsodont (ie high‐crowned) teeth have been interpreted as an indicator of feeding
preferences and habitat selection in ungulates. For this reason, the degree of hypsodonty …
