...D. Rex Mitchell; Stephen Wroe; Meg Martin; Vera Weisbecker ABSTRACT Comparative finite element analysis often involves standardising aspects of models to test equivalent loading scenarios across species. However, regarding feeding biomechanics of the vertebrate skull, what is considered ‘equivalent...
