The Influence of Fallback Foods on Great Ape Tooth Enamel [PDF]
, 2009 Lucas and colleagues recently proposed a model based on fracture and deformation concepts to describe how mammalian tooth enamel may be adapted to the mechanical demands of diet (Lucas et al.: Bioessays 30[2008] 374-385). Here we review the applicability

Dental mesowear and the palaeodiets of bovids from Makapansgat Limeworks Cave, South Africa [PDF]
, 2007 The palaeodiet of seven bovids from Makapansgat Limeworks Cave are analysed using dental mesowear. Results suggest that Tragelaphus pricei had a highly attritional diet and was thus a browser. Tragelaphus sp. aff. T. angasii and Aepyceros sp.

Hominin palaeoecology in Late Pliocene Malawi : first insights from isotopes (13C, 18O) in mammal teeth [PDF]
, 2011 Carbon-13 and oxygen-18 abundances were measured in large mammal skeletal remains (tooth enamel, dentine and bone) from the Chiwondo Beds in Malawi, which were dated by biostratigraphic correlation to ca. 2.5 million years ago.

, 2004 Research in buccal microwear started in the late 1980s with a hypothesis relating striation length by orientation with the proportion of plant and meat foods in the diet. Such relationship has proven to be more complex than initially thought, with the density of striations being one of the most discriminating variables on the enamel surface ...

Taxonomic and Seasonal Variation Among Extant Hyracoids Based on Dental Microwear Texture Analysis [PDF]
, 2014 A number of works have been published on habitats and diets of living hyraxes but much remains to be learned about the paleoenvironment contexts of the much larger, more dominant but now extinct forms of the order. Here, I analyze the dental microwear of
