Dust in the wind: How climate variables and volcanic dust affect rates of tooth wear in Central American howling monkeys.
(Am J Phys Anthropol, 2016-02)OBJECTIVES: Two factors have been considered important contributors to tooth wear: dietary abrasives in plant foods themselves and mineral particles adhering to ingested food. Each factor limits the functional life of teeth. ... -
Smooth operator: The effects of different 3D mesh retriangulation protocols on the computation of Dirichlet normal energy.
(American journal of physical anthropology, 2017-05)Dirichlet normal energy (DNE) is a metric of surface topography that has been used to evaluate the relationship between the surface complexity of primate cheek teeth and dietary categories. This study examines the effects ... -
Wear and its effects on dental topography measures in howling monkeys (Alouatta palliata).
(Am J Phys Anthropol, 2016-12)OBJECTIVES: Three dental topography measurements: Dirichlet Normal Energy (DNE), Relief Index (RFI), and Orientation Patch Count Rotated (OPCR) are examined for their interaction with measures of wear, within and between ...
