Comptes rendus. PalevolDuring the Neogene and the Quaternary, African suids show dental morphological changes considered to reflect adaptations to increasing specialization on graminivorous diets, notably in the genus Kolpochoerus van Hoepen & van Hoepen, 1932.

Dietary ecology of the extinct cave bear: Evidence of omnivory as inferred from dental microwear textures [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2016 The diet of the extinct European cave bear, Ursus spelaeus, has widely been debated. Diverging from the extant brown bear (Ursus arctos) approximately 1.2 million years ago, the cave bear is one of the most ubiquitous fossil bears occurring in Europe ...

First application of dental microwear texture analysis to infer theropod feeding ecology
Palaeontology, 2022 Theropods were the dominating apex predators in most Jurassic and Cretaceous terrestrial ecosystems. Their feeding ecology has always been of great interest, and new computational methods have yielded more detailed reconstructions of differences in ...

Apport de la micro-usure dentaire à la reconstitution du régime alimentaire des anciens Pascuans
Bulletins et Mémoires de la Société d’Anthropologie de Paris, 2008 This study concerns the analysis of the dental microwear of 71 Easter Islanders who lived between the 13th and the 20th centuries and whose skeletons are housed in the Sebastian Englert Museum (Easter Island) as well as the Royal Institute of Natural ...

A combined dietary approach using isotope and dental buccal-microwear analysis of human remains from the Neolithic, Roman and Medieval periods from the archaeological site of Tossal de les Basses (Alicante, Spain) [PDF]
, 2016 Stable isotope and dental-microwear analysis aremethods commonly used to reconstruct dietary habits in modern and ancient human populations. However, it is rare that they are both used together in the same study, and here both methods are combined to ...

Palaeontologia Electronica, 2022 The adaptive radiation of hipparionins after their Old World dispersal was linked with a trend towards smaller body sizes. The appearance of the small-sized forms has usually been associated to open environments and grazing diets.

Contextualizing Buccal Dental Microwear Variations During the Byzantine Period in Jordan
Dental Anthropology, 2014 This study scanned 14 buccal surfaces of teeth casts microscopically from the Byzantine sites of Yajuz and Sa'ad in Jordan, and 7 samples from the Natufian site of El Wad in Palestine for the purpose of studying buccal microwear.

Diet reduces the effect of exogenous grit on tooth microwear
Biosurface and Biotribology, 2020 Exogenous grit adherent to the surface of food items and food fracture properties have each been considered important factors contributing to pattern and degree of tooth wear in mammals.

Fracture in teeth—a diagnostic for inferring bite force and tooth function [PDF]
, 2011 Teeth are brittle and highly susceptible to cracking. We propose that observations of such cracking can be used as a diagnostic tool for predicting bite force and inferring tooth function in living and fossil mammals.
