Dental microwear of living Hadza foragers
American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 2019AbstractObjectivesStudies of dental microwear of bioarchaeological assemblages and extant mammals from museum collections show that surface texture can provide a valuable proxy for reconstructing diets of past peoples and extinct species. However, no study to date has focused on occlusal surface microwear textures of living hunter‐gatherers.

Dental microwear texture analysis: technical considerations
Journal of Human Evolution, 2006Dental microwear analysis is commonly used to infer aspects of diet in extinct primates. Conventional methods of microwear analysis have usually been limited to two-dimensional imaging studies using a scanning electron microscope and the identification of apparent individual features.

Dinosaurs were the dominant megaherbivores during the Cretaceous when angiosperms, the flowering plants, emerged and diversified. How herbivorous dinosaurs responded to the increasing diversity of angiosperms is largely unknown due to the lack of methods

Effect of taphonomic processes on dental microwear
American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1999Taphonomic processes have the potential to affect microscopic wear on teeth and to modify the wear patterns so as to confound dietary reconstructions based on dental microwear which was formed during the lifetime of an animal. This study describes a series of experiments which were conducted to simulate various taphonomic agents and to record their ...

Mammal Study
. The Amami rabbit (Pentalagus furnessi) and the Ryukyu long-furred rat (Diplothrix legata) are rare, endemic mammals of the Ryukyu Islands. So far, knowledge about their basic ecology is limited.

Dental microwear and diet in Venezuelan primates
American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1992AbstractRecent microwear analyses have demonstrated that wear patterns can be correlated with dietary differences. However, much of this work has been based on analyses of museum material where dates and locations of collection are not well known. In view of these difficulties, it would be desirable to compare microwear patterns for different genera ...

Inferences from Quantitative Analysis of Dental Microwear
Folia Primatologica, 1989Tooth microwear studies have been carried out for several reasons in the last decade. Most effort has been put into categorizing wear types that reflect dietary preferences in order to reconstruct the diet of extinct species. Several studies have shown that, for primates, carnivores and ruminants, it is possible to differentiate statistically the ...

Buccal dental microwear texture and catarrhine diets
American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 2017AbstractObjectivesTwo‐dimensional dental microwear analyses on occlusal and nonocclusal enamel surfaces have been widely applied to reconstruct the feeding behaviors of extant primates and to infer ecological adaptations in fossil hominins. To date, analyses of dental microwear texture, using three‐dimensional, Scale‐Sensitive Fractal Analysis ...

AbstractObjectivesThis study seeks to determine if (a) consumption of hard food items or a mixture of food items leads to the formation of premolar or molar microwear in laboratory capuchin monkeys (Sapajus apella) in one feeding session and (b) rates of microwear formation are associated with the number of food items consumed.Materials and methodsFive

Dental microwear of Neogene cercopithecoids from the Turkana Basin, Kenya.
Journal of Human EvolutionReconstructions of the diets of individual fossil species can help us better understand the adaptive radiations of higher-level primate taxa. Some researchers have posited that folivory was key to the divergence of cercopithecoids from the catarrhine stem, with bilophodonty reflecting an adaptation for leaf consumption.
