Published mesowear data was reviewed from the year 2000 to November 2019 (211
publications, 707 species, 1,396 data points). Mesowear is a widely applied tooth wear …

ABSTRACT The Early and Middle Pleistocene were characterised by two major climatic
events: the onset of the Quaternary glaciations and the Early-Middle Pleistocene Transition …

There is an ongoing discourse about whether or not external abrasives influence the
microscopic wear in herbivore teeth, including a statement that “dust does not matter”. We …

A herbivore's diet can affect its teeth by causing different types of wear. Browsers typically
have sharper, higher cusps, while grazers show lower, blunter cusps, presumably due to the …

Woody plants and grasses are two functionally distinct food groups that pose different
mechanical, nutritional, and ecological challenges to herbivores. Accordingly, herbivores …

To differentiate the effects of internal and external abrasives on tooth wear, we performed a
controlled feeding experiment in rabbits fed diets of varying phytolith content as an internal …

ABSTRACT The Ponte Galeria area within the city of Rome has yielded numerous
fossiliferous localities that represent a reference point for the study of the European Middle …

This study uses tooth meso-and microwear together with bone collagen stable isotope ratios
(carbon (δ 13 C), nitrogen (δ 15 N), and sulphur (δ 34 S)) to investigate diet and human …

Based on comparative mandibular anatomy, observations of chewing behaviour, chewing
forces and dental microwear, it has been suggested that an additional effect of the ruminant …

The thick-enameled, bunodont dentition shared by most early hominins has traditionally
been interpreted as reflecting durophagy, especially in the robust genus Paranthropus …
