Postnatal craniomandibular growth in Harbor seals (Phoca vitulina vitulina)
Postnatal ontogeny in Harbor seals (Phoca vitulina vitulina). Cranium and mandible grow rapidly until 5 years of age, followed by a deceleration and finally a stagnation. Abstract As secondarily aquatic carnivores, seals display several phenotypic differences compared to their terrestrial relatives.

Effect of short one-third lower face toward mastication performance in Deutero Malay
The one-third lower face height belongs to ideal proportion, ratio 1:1:1, of vertical face height. The one-third lower face height could be influenced by mastication. The one-third lower face height that shorter than normal ratio is generally followed by

Changes in respiratory activity induced by mastication in humans
We studied the influence of mastication on respiratory activity in nine healthy volunteers who were requested to masticate a 5-g chewing gum bolus at a spontaneous rate (SR) for 5 min and “at the maximum possible rate” (MPR) for 1 min.

Abstract The Itaboraí Basin, Southeastern Brazil, preserved one of the most diverse mammalian faunas from the Paleogene, with Metatheria comprising more than 60% of its diversity. Among identified metatherian clades, it has been argued that Paucituberculata is represented by “Riolestes capricornicus”.

Cristid obliqua morphology as a correlate of diet in lorisoids
Abstract Methods for elucidating dietary patterns from dental morphology have provided much insight into molar form, function, and diet in extinct taxa. However, many methods rely on the collection of homologous landmarks (like shearing crest lengths), or computationally intensive and nuanced metrics that capture shape (like dental topography). Here, a

Reduced Mastication Impairs Memory Function
Mastication is an indispensable oral function related to physical, mental, and social health throughout life. The elderly tend to have a masticatory dysfunction due to tooth loss and fragility in the masticatory muscles with aging, potentially resulting

Abstract The ‘Palaeogene strata’ of the Itaboraí Basin (upper Paleocene‐lower Eocene), Southeastern Brazil, has preserved 29 genera and almost 50 species of metatherians (about 65% of its mammalian diversity). Among them, Eobrasilia coutoi Simpson, 1947 is the most enigmatic due to its quite fragmentary nature.

Rheological Quality Control Tests of Commercial Strawberry Stirred Yogurt: Pseudo-chewing Process [PDF]
Background: The rheological behavior of yogurt plays a crucial role in determining the quality of the product. This study aimed to develop a rheological quality control test replicating pseudo-chewing using experimental rheological protocols.
