Multiproxy approach to reconstruct fossil primate feeding behavior: Case study for macaque from the Plio-Pleistocene site Guefaït-4.2 (eastern Morocco)

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
The genus Macaca belongs to Cercopithecidae (Old World monkeys), Cercopithecinae, Papionini. The presence of Macaca in North Africa is well known from the Late Miocene to the Late Pleistocene.

Diversity in pig husbandry from the Classical-Hellenistic to the Byzantine periods: an integrated dental analysis of Düzen Tepe and Sagalassos assemblages (Turkey) [PDF]

, 2017
Ethnographical, historical and archaeological evidence suggests that a great diversity in pig husbandry may have existed in the past. However, such diversity remains difficult to document from traditional zooarchaeological methods and its study may ...

Comparison of Microwear on Rodent Molars from Differing Species and a Wide Range of Environments [PDF]

, 2015
Dental microwear analysis is a very useful tool when trying to infer the diet of a particular organism. By studying the use-wear scars left on the enamel of the tooth due to eaten objects, one can infer the diet of the organism because certain types of ...

Translating taxonomy into the evolution of conodont feeding ecology [PDF]

, 2016
Conodont research has long been divided between utilitarian applications to solve geological problems versus analysis of their palaeobiology. However recent advances in conodont functional analysis allow these independent stands of research to be unified,

Almost billfish: convergent longirostry, micro‐dentition, and possible glandular sinuses in a large teleost fish from the Upper Cretaceous of Northern Italy

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 247, Issue 6, Page 1109-1130, December 2025.
A fossil rostrum fragment of a large teleost fish from the Upper Cretaceous of Northern Italy reveals remarkable anatomical convergences with Cenozoic and Recent billfishes (marlins, swordfishes, and akin). The extinct group Plethodidae independently acquired a long snout, micro‐teeth, and oil‐gland sinuses well before the evolution of true billfishes.

The Influence of Fallback Foods on Great Ape Tooth Enamel [PDF]

, 2009
Lucas and colleagues recently proposed a model based on fracture and deformation concepts to describe how mammalian tooth enamel may be adapted to the mechanical demands of diet (Lucas et al.: Bioessays 30[2008] 374-385). Here we review the applicability

Palaeodietary reconstruction of wild and domestic goats using dental microwear texture analysis. A case study from two early Neolithic sites in the southern Levant

Historical Biology
Dental microwear (DMA) is a tool used for the palaeodiet reconstruction of animals in Archaeology. The use of this proxy on domestic ungulates provides valuable information to reconstruct livestock strategies, yet it presents several methodological ...

Myological and osteological approaches to gape and bite force reconstruction in Smilodon fatalis

The Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 11, Page 2944-2961, November 2025.
Abstract Masticatory gape and bite force are important behavioral and ecological variables. While much has been written about the highly derived masticatory anatomy of Smilodon fatalis, there remains a great deal of debate about their masticatory behaviors.

Mechanical evidence that Australopithecus sediba was limited in its ability to eat hard foods

Nature Communications, 2016
Dietary adaptations of extinct early humans are often inferred from dental microwear data. Here, the authors employ mechanical analyses to show that Australopithecus sedibahad limited ability to consume hard foods.
