Ewes of a leather flock together. Feeding management systems during Late Antiquity in the northeast of the Iberian Peninsula (4th c. – 8th c. AD): a dental microwear approach

Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences
In recent years, the dental microwear analysis technique has been proven as an approach for contributing to animal husbandry research. It has been tested with good results on providing information related to the animal feeding strategies of bygone agri ...

The functional and palaeoecological implications of tooth morphology and wear for the megaherbivorous dinosaurs from the Dinosaur Park Formation (upper Campanian) of Alberta, Canada.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Megaherbivorous dinosaurs were exceptionally diverse on the Late Cretaceous island continent of Laramidia, and a growing body of evidence suggests that this diversity was facilitated by dietary niche partitioning. We test this hypothesis using the fossil

Dental microwear textures: reconstructing diets of fossil mammals [PDF]

Surface Topography: Metrology and Properties, 2016
Dietary information of fossil mammals can be revealed via the analysis of tooth morphology, tooth wear, tooth geochemistry, and the microscopic wear patterns on tooth surfaces resulting from food processing. Although dental microwear has long been used by anthropologists and paleontologists to clarify diets in a diversity of mammals, until recently ...

Dental mesowear and the palaeodiets of bovids from Makapansgat Limeworks Cave, South Africa [PDF]

, 2007
The palaeodiet of seven bovids from Makapansgat Limeworks Cave are analysed using dental mesowear. Results suggest that Tragelaphus pricei had a highly attritional diet and was thus a browser. Tragelaphus sp. aff. T. angasii and Aepyceros sp.

Dynamics of dental evolution in ornithopod dinosaurs. [PDF]

, 2016
Ornithopods were key herbivorous dinosaurs in Mesozoic terrestrial ecosystems, with a variety of tooth morphologies. Several clades, especially the 'duck-billed' hadrosaurids, became hugely diverse and abundant almost worldwide.

To meat or not to meat? New perspectives on Neanderthal ecology. [PDF]

, 2015
Neanderthals have been commonly depicted as top predators who met their nutritional needs by focusing entirely on meat. This information mostly derives from faunal assemblage analyses and stable isotope studies: methods that tend to underestimate plant ...

Opportunistic feeding strategy for the earliest old world hypsodont equids: evidence from stable isotope and dental wear proxies.

PLoS ONE, 2013
BackgroundThe equid Hippotherium primigenium, with moderately hypsodont cheek teeth, rapidly dispersed through Eurasia in the early late Miocene. This dispersal of hipparions into the Old World represents a major faunal event during the Neogene.

Taxonomic and Seasonal Variation Among Extant Hyracoids Based on Dental Microwear Texture Analysis [PDF]

A number of works have been published on habitats and diets of living hyraxes but much remains to be learned about the paleoenvironment contexts of the much larger, more dominant but now extinct forms of the order. Here, I analyze the dental microwear of

Error rates in dental microwear quantification using scanning electron microscopy

Scanning, 2002
AbstractThere is a degree of correlation between dietary habits and dental microwear in extant primates, and this has enabled inferences to be made about prehistoric diets. Several techniques have been used to quantify microwear, but the comparability of results derived from each has not been demonstrated.
