The Better to Eat You With: Bite Force in the Naked Mole-Rat (Heterocephalus glaber) Is Stronger Than Predicted Based on Body Size [PDF]
Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2019 Naked mole-rats (Heterocephalus glaber) are subterranean rodents that utilize their incisors for feeding, chisel-tooth digging of complex tunnel systems, social interactions, and defense in their eusocial colony structure.

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 ...

Ontogenetic changes in bite force and gape in tufted capuchins.
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2023 Bite force and gape are two important performance metrics of the feeding system, and these metrics are inversely related for a given muscle size because of fundamental constraints in sarcomere length-tension relationships. How these competing performance
