Dietary differences in archosaur and lepidosaur reptiles revealed by dental microwear textural analysis

Scientific Reports, 2019
Reptiles are key components of modern ecosystems, yet for many species detailed characterisations of their diets are lacking. Data currently used in dietary reconstructions are limited either to the last few meals or to proxy records of average diet over

Tables S2-S20 from Dental microwear texture analysis along reptile tooth rows: complex variation with non-dietary variables

, 2021
Tables S2-S10; ANOVA results of ISO texture parameters for the eight reptile species that did not exhibit microwear texture differences along tooth rows. Tables S11-S20; Matched-pairs t-test results and texture parameter average value rankings for each of the five reptile species that did exhibit texture differences along tooth rows.

Dietary proclivities of Paranthropus robustus from Swartkrans, South Africa

Anthropological Review, 2015
Pleistocene Paranthropus robustus fossils from Swartkrans have yielded stable isotope values suggesting some foraging on C4 plants possibly including underground storage organs. Dental microwear texture analysis on P.

Mosasaur Feeding Ecology from the Campanian Bearpaw Formation, Alberta, Canada: A Preliminary Multi-Proxy Approach

Diversity
Mosasaur taxa recovered from the Bearpaw Formation, Alberta, Canada, generally show exceptional preservation after rapid burial. Since the mosasaur community consisted of two dominant taxa, Mosasaurus missourensis Prognathodon overtoni, and three less ...

Opportunistic feeding strategy for the earliest old world hypsodont equids: evidence from stable isotope and dental wear proxies.

PLoS ONE, 2013
BackgroundThe equid Hippotherium primigenium, with moderately hypsodont cheek teeth, rapidly dispersed through Eurasia in the early late Miocene. This dispersal of hipparions into the Old World represents a major faunal event during the Neogene.

Stress, Life History, and Linear Enamel Hypoplasia: Insights From the Indigenous Populations of the Canary Islands

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 188, Issue 1, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Objectives This study evaluated the influence of genetic diversity, subsistence strategies, age at death, and their interplay on the prevalence of linear enamel hypoplasias (LEHs) in the indigenous populations of the Canary Islands. Additionally, we test the predictive adaptive hypothesis and the plasticity/constraint hypothesis within this ...

Using springbok (Antidorcas) dietary proxies to reconstruct inferred palaeovegetational changes over 2 million years in Southern Africa [PDF]

, 2018
The reconstruction of past vegetation and climatic conditions of the Cradle of Humankind, Gauteng Province, South Africa, has been approached using various proxies (such as micromammals, speleothems, faunal and floral presence and stable carbon isotopes).

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.

To meat or not to meat? New perspectives on Neanderthal ecology. [PDF]

, 2015
Neanderthals have been commonly depicted as top predators who met their nutritional needs by focusing entirely on meat. This information mostly derives from faunal assemblage analyses and stable isotope studies: methods that tend to underestimate plant ...
