Feeding traits and dietary variation in Pleistocene proboscideans: A tooth microwear review
Quaternary Science Reviews, 2019Abstract Microwear data were analysed to study dietary traits in Elephantidae, Mammutidae, and Gomphotheriidae from Plio-Pleistocene localities from Europe and North America and included the following taxa: Palaeoloxodon antiquus, Mammuthus rumanus, M. meridionalis, M. trogontherii, M. primigenius, M.

Low magnification dental microwear constitutes one of the most important proxies on the ecology and evolution of diet in mammals. Numerous studies have been established on the reconstruction of dietary ecology of even-toed and carnivorous taxa. To date, these studies have used the second permanent molars or carnassials exclusively, for ungulates or ...

Canine and incisor microwear in pitheciids and Ateles reflects documented patterns of tooth use
American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 2016ABSTRACTObjectivesPlatyrrhine species differ in the extent to and the manner in which they use their incisors and canines during food ingestion. For example, Ateles uses its anterior teeth to process mechanically nondemanding soft fruits, while the sclerocarp‐harvesting pitheciids rely extensively on these teeth to acquire and process more demanding ...

Tooth microwear and dietary patterns in early hominids from Laetoli, Hadar and Olduvai
Journal of Human Evolution, 1983Microscopic analysis reveals specific patterns of wear facets on dental crowns in early hominids from Laetoli, Hadar and Olduvai. The analysis of dental microwear patterns provides an important adjunct for determining Australopithecus afarensis and Homo habilis feeding behaviors and therefore provides an additional source of information for ...

A separation exists between the tooth microwear of extant ruminant browsers and grazers when examined with new statistical techniques such as the dichotomous, polychotomous and continuous methods. Extant mixed feeders, however, could not be discerned as a distinct group.

Journal of Mammalian Evolution, 2007
Tooth microwear was analyzed for a large sample of wild-shot barren-ground caribou (Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus) from the Kaminuriak population of eastern Canada. This sample was compared to the microwear of specimens from three Pleistocene localities in North America (Alaska) and western Europe (Caune de l’Arago in France and Salzgitter in Germany)

Palaeontology, 2019
Abstract‘Haramiyidans’ are extinct mammaliaforms often clustered with Multituberculata as Allotheria, and with a fossil record extending from the Upper Triassic to possibly the Upper Cretaceous. For many decades, ‘haramiyidans’ were known only from isolated teeth, and their relationships to other mammaliaforms remain unclear.

Small Ruminant Research, 2004
This study was designed to correlate the dental microwear pattern in a population of roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) with seasonal dietary data. Fifty roe deer specimens from the Chize Forest in western France provides the material of this study. The shearing facet of the second molars is digitized using a 256 level gray scale light stereomicroscope ...

Tooth Form and Function: Insights into Adaptation through the Analysis of Dental Microwear
2009Mammalian molar form is clearly adapted to fracture foods with specific material properties. Studies of dental functional morphology can therefore offer important clues about the diets of fossil taxa. That said, analyses of tooth form provide insights into ability to fracture resistant foods rather than the food preferences of individuals.

Analyses of buccal tooth microwear have been used to trace dietary habits of modern hunter-gatherer populations. In these populations, the average den-sity and length of striations on the buccal surfaces of teeth are significantly cor-related with the abrasive potential of food items consumed.
