Mammalian dental function and wear: A review (2015, unknown): “All images modi ﬁ ed from Giebel [199] except the wolverine and sea otter, which are modi ﬁ ed from Owen [200].”
Hypsodonty and tooth facet development in relation to diet and habitat in herbivorous ungulates: implications for understanding tooth wear (2013, background): “…et al. 2007, Damuth & Janis 2011) on whether intrinsic properties or extrinsic abrasives play the more important role in the evolution of hypsodonty; the relative timing of the occurrence of grasslands and hypsodont molars in North American equids is a major bone of contention (Strömberg 2006).”
Grit not grass: Concordant patterns of early origin of hypsodonty in Great Plains ungulates and Glires (2012, background): “…in tooth height distributions within families relate to grassland development, which suggests that the ‘delayed’ pattern observed in horses (see, e.g. Strömberg, 2006) is just part of a varied response of the small and large herbivore biota to environmental change, with different lineages (within…”
The origins and diversification of C4 grasses and savanna‐adapted ungulates (2009, background): “In response to this defense, grazer ungulates may have evolved longer-lasting highercrowned cheek teeth that enable them to consume abrasive plant tissues, but evidence for such an evolutionary interaction between grasses and grazers remains elusive (Stromberg, 2006).”
An Evolutionary History of Browsing and Grazing Ungulates (2008, background): “The advent of grasslands in North America before the evolution of hypsodont ungulates such as equids has been argued as evidence for ‘adaptive lag’ (Retallack 1983; Strömberg 2006)—that is, that morphological evolution had not yet caught up to behavioural evolution.”
Hypsodonty in ungulates: an adaptation for grass consumption or for foraging in open habitat? (2008, background): “…article, we do not address the evolutionary, behavioural and climatic context of the development of high-crowned teeth during late Miocene times, as these issues have received a great deal of attention (see reviews in Janis, 1988, 1995; Mendoza, Janis & Palmqvist, 2002; Strömberg, 2004, 2006).”
