Correlation of skull morphology and bite force in a bird-eating bat (Ia io; Vespertilionidae)

Frontiers in Zoology, 2020
Background Genetic and ecological factors influence morphology, and morphology is compatible with function. The morphology and bite performance of skulls of bats show a number of characteristic feeding adaptations.

Edible Bite Force Sensor: A Novel Approach to Measuring Bite Force in Biomedical and Dental Applications. [PDF]

Med Sci Monit
BACKGROUND Measurement of bite force plays a crucial role in assessment of the masticatory system. With a growing interest in detecting occlusal irregularities, bite force sensors have garnered attention in the biomedical field. This study aimed to introduce a hydrogel bite force sensor, based on hydroxyethyl-cellulose-fructose-water (HEC-F-water), for

Estimated and in vivo measurements of bite force demonstrate exceptionally large bite forces in parrots (Psittaciformes). [PDF]

J Anat
AbstractJaw morphology and function determine the range of dietary items that an organism can consume. Bite force is a function of the force exerted by the jaw musculature and applied via the skeleton. Bite force has been studied in a wide range of taxa using various methods, including direct measurement, or calculation from skulls or jaw musculature ...

A biomechanical model for the relation between bite force and mandibular opening angle in arthropods

bioRxiv, 2023
Bite forces play a key role in animal ecology: they affect mating behaviour, fighting success, and the ability to feed. Although feeding habits of arthropods have an enormous ecological and economical impact, we lack fundamental knowledge on how the ...

Effects of body temperature on initial bite force in three species of rock- and crevice-dwelling lizards from Mexico [PDF]

Herpetozoa, 2021
Bite force can be an important aspect of a lizard’s organismal performance, and is likely to be subject to influence by ambient conditions including an individual’s thermal environment.
