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 …

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

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

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

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 …

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

While grazing as a selective factor towards hypsodont dentition on mammals has gained a
lot of attention, the importance of fruits and seeds as fallback resources for many browsing …

Abstract The La Brea Tar Pits are a highly fossiliferous late Pleistocene locality, with over
230 vertebrate species, and the potential to help clarify the ecology of Pleistocene …

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 …

Dramatic environmental changes associated with global cooling since the late Miocene, and
the onset of glacial-interglacial cycles in the Pleistocene served as a backdrop to the …
