We review feeding and mandibular anatomy in a community of West African monkeys. We
use field observations, food material property data, and skeletal specimens from the Ivory …

The biomechanical and adaptive significance of variation in craniodental and mandibular
morphology in fossil hominins is not always clear, at least in part because of a poor …

Objectives Gorilla diets are characterized by large amounts of fruit and tough fibrous plant
material. Hard‐object feeding is not generally associated with this genus as the high crests …

Antemortem enamel chipping in living and fossil primates is often interpreted as evidence of
hard-object feeding (ie,'durophagy'). Laboratory analyses of tooth fracture have modeled the …

There is much debate on the dietary adaptations of the robust hominin lineages during the
Pliocene-Pleistocene transition. It has been argued that the shift from C3 to C4 ecosystems …

Objectives To test the hypothesis that differences in crown structure, enamel growth, and
crown geometry in Cercocebus and Lophocebus molars covary with differences in the …

Objectives Examining the relationships among foraging behavior, food mechanical
properties, and masticatory morphology is a bourgeoning research topic among behavioral …

Objectives The link between diet and the masticatory apparatus in primates is complex. We
investigated how food mechanical properties (FMPs) and food geometry affect feeding …

Chimpanzees are traditionally described as ripe fruit specialists with large incisors but
relatively small postcanine teeth, adhering to a somewhat narrow dietary niche. Field …

Leaf-eating monkeys (colobines) are a highly diversified subfamily with 61 species in ten
genera, in which patterns and constraints of morphological evolution are still poorly …
