Prevalence and Mechanisms of Sustained Force Production in the Musculature of the Southern Alligator Lizard (Elgaria multicarinata)

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The southern alligator lizard (Elgaria multicarinata) exhibits prolonged mate‐holding behavior. This behavior maybe be underpinned by a phenomenon known as sustained force, observed in the jaw muscles of this species, in which the muscle fails to relax between subsequent contractions.

The Relation between Masticatory Efficiency and Masticatory Stability in Gumi-jelly Chewing.

Nihon Hotetsu Shika Gakkai Zasshi, 1997
In this study, the relation between masticatory efficiency and masticatory stability was investigated. Thirty normal subjects were asked to chew gumi-jelly for 20 seconds. The masticatory efficiency was considered to be the amount of glucose discharge.

TAM pathway proteins as novel salivary biomarkers for periodontitis

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The identification of molecular biomarkers that help clinicians in early diagnosis is a key focus of periodontal research. The major aim of this cross‐sectional observational study was to assess whether salivary TAM pathway protein levels have the potential to discriminate between periodontally healthy or gingivitis controls and ...

Lithic analysis in African archaeology: Advances and key themes

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Stone artifacts (lithics) preserve for extended periods; thus they are key evidence for probing the evolution of human technological behaviors. Africa boasts the oldest record of stone artifacts, spanning 3.3 Ma, rare instances of ethnographic stone tool‐making, and stone tool archives from diverse ecological settings, making it an anchor for ...

Exploring dietary adaptations in Ursus minimus: a 3D geometric morphometric analysis of the mandible

Boreas, EarlyView.
Using 3D geometric morphometrics, the dietary adaptations of the extinct Auvergne bear (Ursus minimus) are analysed. Its mandibular morphology aligns more closely with omnivorous rather than insectivorous bears, challenging current ideas. The extinct bear Ursus minimus, which lived in Europe during the Pliocene and possibly Early Pleistocene, is ...
