The effects of gape angle and bite point on bite force in bats [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2003 SUMMARY Models of mammalian mastication predict that bite force is affected by both the degree of mouth opening (gape angle) and the point along the tooth row at which force is transferred to a food item (bite point). Despite the widespread use of these models in comparative analyses, experimental data documenting bite force in non-human
