The Phytoliths in the Flora of Ecuador project: Perspectives on phytolith classification, identification, and establishing regional phytolith databases [PDF]

Journal of Archaeological Science, 2016
Abstract The Phytoliths in the Flora of Ecuador project was undertaken to establish diagnostic phytolith types and phytolith vegetation signatures to enhance archaeological and paleoenvironmental phytolith applications in the region. In this paper I discuss the “products” of this research, and provide links to on-line resources.

Ecological and Hydrological Modulation of Land Surface Temperature in the East Asian Monsoon Margin During Pliocene‐Pleistocene Global Cooling

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract The response of terrestrial climate to future warming remains debated. The Pliocene, with CO2 levels similar to today, is an important analog for the future. The East Asian monsoon marginal region is one of the most climate sensitive regions on Earth. Based on contemporaneous aeolian sediments and aquatic‐influenced alluvial sediments from the

Phytoliths can cause tooth wear [PDF]

, 2020
Comparative laboratory sliding wear tests on extracted human molar teeth in artificial saliva with third-body particulates demonstrate that phytoliths can be as effective as silica grit in the abrasion of enamel.

Bulliform Phytolith Research in Wild and Domesticated Rice Paddy Soil in South China.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Bulliform phytoliths play an important role in researching rice origins as they can be used to distinguish between wild and domesticated rice. Rice bulliform phytoliths are characterized by numerous small shallow fish-scale decorations on the lateral ...

Dental Microwear Evidence of Holocene Dietary Variability in the Argentinian Pampas and Paraná Delta

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 191, Issue 1, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives This study explores the subsistence strategies of Middle‐to‐Late Holocene human populations in the Argentinean Pampas and Paraná River Delta by analyzing dental microwear patterns. Materials and Methods We examined occlusal molar microwear textures of individuals from the Middle and Late Holocene recovered from 12 archaeological ...

Fire effects on phytolith carbon sequestration

Scientific Reports
Phytolith have been recognized as an important soil bioavailable Si source for plants, as well as a sink of C and heavy metals in soils. Though the impacts of fire and heat on phytolith sequestration of some nutrients (phosphorus, potassium) and heavy ...

In‐vitro puncture experiment using alligator teeth tracks the formation of dental microwear and its association with hardness of the diet

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 9, Page 2424-2441, September 2026.
Abstract With the development of dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA), there has been an increasing application of DMTA for dietary estimation in extant and fossil reptiles, including dinosaurs. While numerous feeding experiments exist for herbivorous mammals, knowledge remains limited for carnivorous reptiles. This study aimed to qualitatively and

Inter‐microscope comparability of dental microwear texture data obtained from different optical profilometers: Part II Deriving instrument‐specific correction equations for meta‐analyses using published data

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 9, Page 2455-2475, September 2026.
Abstract Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) has emerged as a valuable method for investigating the feeding ecology of vertebrates. Over the past decade, three‐dimensional topographic data from microscopic regions of tooth surfaces have been collected, and surface texture parameters have been published for both extant and fossil species.
