The Anatomical RecordDental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) is widely applied for inferring diet in vertebrates. Besides diet and ingesta properties, factors like wear stage and bite force may affect microwear formation, potentially leading to tooth position-specific ...

Tooth microwear pattern variation in karst and non-karst peninsular Southeast Asian murine rodents
Mammal Research, 2023International audience ; The dietary preferences of most rodents, especially in tropical countries, are poorly known. In the tropics, rodent diversity can be high and several species can coexist in the same habitats. In order to better document the dietary habits of Southeast Asian murid and diatomyid rodents, we examined microwear patterns in 21 ...

Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports, 2020 Abstract In this paper, we consider human mobility through their herbivore prey. Human mobility and territorial management are driven by many factors, including the specific acquisition of targeted resources, depending on their behaviour and their availability in the nearby environment. Animal acquisition for subsistence requires specific Human group

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.

Resolving pterosaur dietary ecology using tooth microwear and biomechanics
, 2019Pterosaurs are an extinct group of Mesozoic flying reptiles that lived between 210 and 66 million years ago and whose diets are poorly constrained. A range of diets have been proposed, including piscivory, insectivory and carnivory, but it is unclear if these hypotheses hold up to scientific scrutiny.

Journal of Fish Biology, 2017
Potential roles of the rostrum of sawsharks (Pristiophoridae), including predation and self‐defence, were assessed through a variety of inferential methods. Comparison of microwear on the surface of the rostral teeth of sawsharks and sawfishes (Pristidae) show that microwear patterns are alike and suggest that the elongate rostra in these two ...

Tooth microwear and diet in the African Viverridae
Canadian Journal of Zoology, 1987Distinct tooth microwear patterns were observed in viverrids (Carnivora). Epoxy replicas of the upper tooth row of 32 specimens of 12 species of African viverrids were prepared and examined using a scanning electron microscope. Four general patterns emerged: (i) teeth with deeply scored grooves and scratches predominantly in the vertical direction ...

Dietary plasticity in ungulates: Insight from tooth microwear analysis
Quaternary International, 2011Abstract In recent years, tooth microwear has been used as a powerful tool for investigating mammalian diets in paleontological or archaeological contexts. Tooth microwear techniques were applied to a number of late Pleistocene assemblages of bison (Bison antiquus) from North America to analyze bison dietary traits, but more particularly, to test for

Dental microwear texture analysis on extant and extinct sharks: Ante- or post-mortem tooth wear?
Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 2020Abstract Sharks are apex-predators that play an important role in past and present aquatic food webs. However, their diet - especially in extinct species - is often not well constrained. Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) has been successfully applied to reconstruct diet and feeding behaviours of different aquatic and terrestrial vertebrates ...

Tooth microwear and premaxillary shape of an archaic antelope
Lethaia, 1993Extant ungulates can be divided into three dietary categories: browsing feeders, grazing feeders, and mixed feeders. Dietary adaptations can be differentiated in extinct ruminants based upon tooth microwear analysis as well as evaluation of premaxillary morphology.
