Myological and osteological approaches to gape and bite force reconstruction in Smilodon fatalis
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Masticatory gape and bite force are important behavioral and ecological variables. While much has been written about the highly derived masticatory anatomy of Smilodon fatalis, there remains a great deal of debate about their masticatory behaviors.

Towards Non-contact Muscle Activity Estimation using FMCW Radar [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Surface electromyography (sEMG) is a widely used muscle activity monitoring technique. sEMG measures muscle activity through monopolar and bipolar, multi-electrode electrodes. The surface electrodes are placed on the surface of the skin above the target muscle and the received signal can be used to infer the state of the muscle - active, inactive or ...

New image analysis of large food particles can discriminate experimentally suppressed mastication [PDF]
, 2012 Objective parameters that could provide a basis for food texture selection for elderly or dysphagic patients have not been established. We, therefore, aimed to develop a precise method of measuring large particles (>2 mm in diameter) in a bolus and an ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Invasive gray squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) have replaced the native red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) across much of Great Britain over the last century. Several factors have been proposed to underlie this replacement, but here we investigated the potential for dietary competition in which gray squirrels have better feeding performance than ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) is widely applied for inferring diet in vertebrates. Besides diet and ingesta properties, factors like wear stage and bite force may affect microwear formation, potentially leading to tooth position‐specific microwear patterns.
