The human trophic level (HTL) during the Pleistocene and its degree of variability serve,
explicitly or tacitly, as the basis of many explanations for human evolution, behavior, and …

In mammals, complex dental microwear textures (DMT) representing differently sized and
shaped enamel lesions overlaying each other have traditionally been associated with the …

Whether it is a plant-or animal-based bio-inspiration design, it has always been able to
address one or more product/component optimisation issues. Today's scientists or …

Intra-oral food processing, including chewing, is important for safe swallowing and efficient
nutrient assimilation across tetrapods. Gape cycles in tetrapod chewing consist of four …

В настоящем исследовании с позиции стоматологии и челюстно-лицевой хирургии
рассматриваются параллели развития атрофии органов и тканей при взаимодействии …

Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) is widely used for diet inferences in extant and
extinct vertebrates. Often, a reference tooth position is analysed in extant specimens, while …

It is axiomatic that knowledge of the diets of extinct hominin species is central to any
understanding of their ecology and our evolution. The importance of diet in the …

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

Dental microwear analysis has been employed in studies of a wide range of modern and
fossil animals, yielding insights into the biology/ecology of those taxa. Some researchers …

Comparative laboratory sliding wear tests on extracted human molar teeth in artificial saliva
with third-body particulates demonstrate that phytoliths can be as effective as silica grit in the …
