DOI: 10.1002/ajpa.24395
Abstract: Dental microwear formation on the posterior dentition is largely attributed to an organism's diet. However, some have suggested that dietary and environmental abrasives contribute more to the formation process than food, calling into question the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4222
Abstract: Abstract Mastication of dietary items with different mechanical properties leaves distinctive microscopic marks on the surface of tooth enamel. The inspection of such marks (dental microwear analysis) is informative about the dietary habitus in fossil… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jas.2019.105012
Abstract: Abstract Dental and artifact microwear analyses have a lot in common regarding the questions they address, their developmental history and their issues. However, few paleontologists and archeologists are aware of this, and even those who… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.palaeo.2017.11.024
Abstract: Abstract The Columbian mammoth (Mammuthus columbi) and the American mastodon (Mammut americanum) have traditionally been considered to have been ecologically distinct, with mammoths often characterized as cosmopolitan grazers or mixed feeders and mastodons as forest-dwelling… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.palaeo.2018.07.028
Abstract: Abstract Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) has been instrumental in reconstructing dietary ecology of extinct and extant carnivorans. Current sampling methods for canids focus on lower second molars (m2), where the grinding of flesh and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.palaeo.2020.110147
Abstract: Abstract Sharks are apex-predators that play an important role in past and present aquatic food webs. However, their diet - especially in extinct species - is often not well constrained. Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA)… read more here.
