This paper presents a brief synopsis of work on relationships between mammalian tooth
form and function, and considers the role of dental wear in studies of mammal teeth …

Neoecology and paleoecology both seek to answer the same questions, albeit using
different material, at different time scales and with different limitations. Nevertheless, too …

This work studies multiscale analyses and characterizations of surface topographies from
the engineering and scientific literature with an emphasis on production engineering …

Dietary information of fossil mammals can be revealed via the analysis of tooth morphology,
tooth wear, tooth geochemistry, and the microscopic wear patterns on tooth surfaces …

Dental microwear has been used for decades to reconstruct the diets of fossil hominins and
bioarchaeological populations. The basic theory has been that hard‐brittle foods (eg, nuts …

Mesowear and microwear analyses use data from worn tooth surfaces as proxies for feeding
ecology. Mesowear is based on gross dental wear and forms over months to years. The …

While grazing as a selective factor towards hypsodont dentition on mammals has gained a
lot of attention, the importance of fruits and seeds as fallback resources for many browsing …

Throughout the late Quaternary, the Sahul (Pleistocene Australia–New Guinea) vertebrate
fauna was dominated by a diversity of large mammals, birds, and reptiles, commonly …

Abstract The La Brea Tar Pits are a highly fossiliferous late Pleistocene locality, with over
230 vertebrate species, and the potential to help clarify the ecology of Pleistocene …

The nanoscale responses of teeth to chewing loads are poorly understood. This has
contributed to debate concerning the aetiology of enamel wear and resistance to fracture …
