... by The Company of Biologists Ltd 2021 Summary: Guinea pigs fed plant versus pelleted diets show development of opposing wear gradients along the cheek teeth row; this has implications for diet reconstruction based on dental microwear analysis when only isolated teeth are available. Mastication...

...Rachel A. Olson; Stéphane J. Montuelle; Brad A. Chadwell; Hannah Curtis; Susan H. Williams ABSTRACT Mastication and drinking are rhythmic and cyclic oral behaviors that require interactions between the tongue, jaw and a food or liquid bolus, respectively. During mastication, the tongue transports...

...J. D. Laurence-Chasen; Jason B. Ramsay; Elizabeth L. Brainerd ABSTRACT Many species of fish process their prey with cyclic jaw motions that grossly resemble those seen in mammalian mastication, despite starkly different tooth and jaw morphologies. The degree of similarity between the processing...

... a derived processing mechanism where prey items are rasped rhythmically against the dentition on the mouth roof, driven by a loop motion of the tongue. Foraging Manipulation Mastication Tongue Palatal dentition Amphibia Food processing involves any type of mechanical manipulation of food...

... with mastication have been limited to aspects of the oral apparatus that are visible externally (with videography) and/or to 2D movements of oral structures (with monoplanar videofluoroscopy). We used XROMM, a 3D technique that combines CT-based morphology with biplanar videofluoroscopy, to quantify mandibular...

...Susan W. Herring; Scott C. Pedersen; Xiaofeng Huang SUMMARY At the time of weaning, infant animals have little experience with hard food, and thus their skulls are not likely to be epigenetically adapted for the loads imposed by mastication. We examined bone strain in the zygomatic arch of 4-week...

... that masticatory myosin diverged early during gnathostome evolution and is expressed in primitive mammals. During mammalian evolution, mastication of food became important, and in some taxa jaw closers replaced masticatory myosin with α-cardiac, developmental, slow or fast limb myosins to adapt to the variety...

Strains from the zygomatic bone flange and zygomatic arch growth data were also obtained from the same animals. A second study on a younger group of animals examined the growth of the zygomatic flange...
