• Feeding behaviour and bite force of sabretoothed predators (2005, background): “…length, see Table 1), machaeroidines are typically small animals [Machaeroides eothen has the same mandibular length as a domestic cat and an estimated mass of 11– 14 kg (Egi, 2001) while M. simpsoni is even smaller], which could have limited their ability to control prey larger than themselves.”
• When teeth and bones disagree: body mass estimation of a giant extinct rodent (2010, background): “Estimates based on skull bones or teeth are often dismissed (Egi 2001; Smith 1996), arguably due to the lack of stress imposed on the cranium by body mass.”
