Coevolution of Tooth Crown Height and Diet in Oreodonts (Merycoidodontidae, Artiodactyla) Examined with Phylogenetically Independent Contrasts (2006, background): “For instance, the hippo has been referred to as a “fresh grass” grazer, feeding in or near water habitats on grasses that are less abrasive as a result of being frequently immersed in water, thus explaining its brachydont dentition (Mendoza et al., 2002).”

Tracing the ecophysiology of ungulates and predator–prey relationships in an early Pleistocene large mammal community (2008, background): “…as stable-isotopes and trace-elements, as well as from the comparative study of their craniodental morphology, because several features of the skull, mandible and dentition are indicative of diet (see reviews in MacFadden, 2000; Williams and Kay, 2001; Mendoza et al., 2002; Palmqvist et al., 2003).”
Hypsodonty in Pleistocene ground sloths (2006, background): “Recent ecomorpholo− gical studies in living ungulates (Mendoza et al. 2002) have indicated that a combination of (rather than any single) vari− ables must be considered for prediction of dietary habits.”

The Morphophysiological Adaptations of Browsing and Grazing Mammals (2008, methodology): “These thresholds have not been used consistently in the literature; in particular, some publications allocate species with >75 % of the respective forage to the BR or GR category (Pérez-Barbería and Gordon 1999; Pérez-Barbería et al. 2001a; Mendoza et al. 2002), whereas other publications reserve th”
Estimating the body mass of extinct ungulates: a study on the use of multiple regression (2006, background): “However, it also has a very narrow muzzle, and existed before the extensive spread of grasslands in North America; thus it would more likely be a mixed feeder, as indicated by discriminant analysis (Mendoza et al., 2002).”
An Evolutionary History of Browsing and Grazing Ungulates (2008, background): “A number of aspects of craniodental morphology can be shown to correlate with dietary behavior (see Solounias and Dawson-Saunders 1988; Janis 1995; Mendoza et al. 2002).”
The Olduvai buffalo Pelorovis and the origin of Bos (2007, unknown): “…height), which among ungulates indicates a diet in open habitat based on abrasive grasses with high silicophytolith contents and airborne grit (Mendoza et al., 2002) and by the presence of an enamel fold in the distolingual face of the upper cheek teeth, which is very marked in P. turkanensis…”
