In the somatosensory nerves, the tactile perception of texture is driven by spatial and
temporal patterns of activation distributed across three populations of afferents. These …

Dental microwear analyses have become a standard part of paleobiological research (see
[1],[2],[3],[4],[5],[6] for reviews). While informative, many microwear interpretations are …

OBJECTIVE: To quantify the impact of food material properties on temporal and spatial
variables of chewing kinematics at the level of the feeding sequence, gape cycle, and gape …

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 …

Background Handling of common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) usually requires chemical
restraint. Ketamine has been associated with muscle damage in primates, while common …

Objectives This study seeks to determine if (a) consumption of hard food items or a mixture
of food items leads to the formation of premolar or molar microwear in laboratory capuchin …

Monkeys belong to the suborder Haplorrhini which, excluding great apes and humans,
contains five families and over 200 species. Primates have a large surface‐area‐to‐body …

Finite element analysis (FEA) is a commonly used tool in musculoskeletal biomechanics and
vertebrate paleontology. The accuracy and precision of finite element models (FEMs) are …

It has been hypothesized that mandibular corpus morphology of primates is related to the
material properties of the foods that they chew. However, chewing foods with different …

Background Dissociative drugs are used for chemical restraint in monkeys. The aim was to
evaluate muscle relaxation, recovery, and ophthalmic and hemodynamic parameters in 24 …
