Ingestive behaviour of grazing ruminants: meta-analysis of the components of bite mass
Animal Feed Science and Technology, 2019 Bite mass (BM) is the main parameter determining intake, production level and efficiency for grazing ruminants. Various data have been published concerning BM and its components bite diameter, bite area, bite depth and bite volume (BDiam, BA, BD and BV).

Inter‐relationships among body mass, jaw musculature and bite force in birds
Journal of Zoology, 2022 AbstractBite force can provide an insight into the feeding biomechanics and ecology of vertebrates. There has been an increasing interest in bite force in birds with data being collected using force transducers although bite forces have also been calculated from the mass of the jaw musculature.

Is thermal scanner losing its bite in mass screening of fever due to SARS? [PDF]
Medical Physics, 2004 Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is a highly infectious disease caused by a coronavirus. Screening to detect a potential SARS infected person plays an important role in preventing the spread of SARS.

Inter‐relationships among body mass, body dimensions, jaw musculature and bite force in reptiles [PDF]
Journal of Zoology, 2022 AbstractBite force is important in understanding how feeding biomechanics impacts the life‐history of vertebrates. Bite force has been measured in many lizards and crocodilians but fewer turtles and snakes. Few comparative interspecific studies exist of the inter‐relationships between body size, jaw musculature and bite force.

Heterogeneity in reproductive success explained by individual differences in bite rate and mass change [PDF]
Behavioral Ecology, 2015 Allocation of resources to current reproduction may reduce future reproduction, growth, and survival, but individual heterogeneity in resource acquisition may obscure this fitness cost. In capital breeders, heterogeneity in reproductive success is often related to body mass or condition, underlining the importance of stored reserves for reproduction ...

Is Hand Plucking an Accurate Method of Estimating Bite Mass and Instantaneous Intake of Grazing Herbivores? [PDF]
Rangeland Ecology & Management, 2011 Instantaneous intake is central to the understanding of large herbivore foraging strategies and rangeland ecology. Unfortunately, its measurement under field conditions remains challenging because of the difficulty of estimating bite mass. The hand plucking method provides a simple, noninvasive method of estimating bite masses and thus instantaneous ...

Cranial muscle reconstructions quantify adaptation for high bite forces in Oviraptorosauria
Scientific Reports, 2022 Oviraptorosaurians are an unusual and probably herbivorous group of theropod dinosaurs that evolved pneumatised crania with robust, toothless jaws, apparently adapted for producing a strong bite.

Bite Injuries among Vaccination Staff Participating in a Mass Canine Rabies Vaccination Campaign, Haiti 2016–2017 [PDF]
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2021 ABSTRACT. Elimination of dog-transmitted human rabies worldwide will require large-scale dog vaccination campaigns. However, this places participating vaccinators at increased risk. Data from the 2016–2017 Haitian mass rabies vaccination campaign was analyzed to determine dog bite incidence among vaccinators.

The Japanese Journal of Physiology, 2005 To gain more insight into the mechanism of muscle plasticity in response to mechanical overload, we analyzed the effects of bite -opening (BO, 3 mm increase in the vertical dimension for 2 weeks) and/or a calcineurin (CaN) inhibitor, cyclosporin A (CsA, 10 mg/kg body weight, once daily for 2 weeks, ip) treatment on the myosin heavy chain (MHC I, IIa ...
