Seed predation, as seen in a diverse range of primate species, is a specialist diet in which seeds are accessed via the breakdown of stress-resistant external protective layers. This diet is considered mechanically challenging, requiring high forces...

During hominin evolution the size of postcanine dentition has varied. While many researchers have tried to make predictions as to the functional significance of these changes, the effect of tooth size on food breakdown has not been quantified. Thi...

Teeth play a prominent role in food acquisition and processing by providing the working surfaces to initiate and propagate fracture. Variation in the shape and size of teeth has therefore naturally been associated with various dietary adaptations. Ho...
