Herbivory mediated by coupling between biomechanical traits of plants and grasshoppers (2013, methodology): “The effective force applied by the mandibles depends on the angle ‘a’ between the adductor muscle and the adductor lever (Paul & Gronenberg 1999; Clissold 2007), but we considered a to be constant and equal to 90°.”
Nutritional ecology of marine herbivorous fishes: ten years on (2009, background): “An important contrast between the terrestrial and marine literatures on mechanical processing is that the former considers the plant diet (e.g. Clissold 2008), while the latter considers mainly the animal itself.”
