Camera-Trap Evidence of <i>Myricaria</i> sp. Consumption and Head-Rubbing by a Wild Snow Leopard (<i>Panthera uncia</i>) in an Alpine Ecosystem. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Camera‐trap footage from the Shamshy co‐managed nature protected area, Kyrgyzstan, provides the first direct evidence of a wild snow leopard ingesting woody Myricaria sp., often alongside sniffing and head‐rubbing. Species‐specific use—snow leopards feeding in leaf‐poor periods vs.

Quantitative assessment of masticatory muscles based on skull muscle attachment areas in Carnivora

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Masticatory muscles are composed of the temporalis, masseter, and pterygoid muscles in mammals. Each muscle has a different origin on the skull and insertion on the mandible; thus, all masticatory muscles contract in different directions. Collecting in vivo data and directly measuring the masticatory muscles anatomically in various Carnivora ...

The relationship between form and function of the carnivore mandible

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Dietary morphology diversified extensively in Carnivoraformes (living Carnivora and their stem relatives) during the Cenozoic (the last 66 million years) as they evolved to capture, handle, and process new animal and plant diets. We used 3D geometric morphometrics, mechanical advantage, and finite element analysis to test the evolutionary ...
