• Mammalian dental function and wear: A review (2015, unknown): “And grit advocates continue to argue that high-crowned teeth relate more to feeding in an open setting than to percentage of grass per se [206].”
• Hypsodonty and tooth facet development in relation to diet and habitat in herbivorous ungulates: implications for understanding tooth wear (2013, methodology): “…adaptations that especially herbivorous mammals are known for (Reilly et al. 2001, Fritz et al. 2009), variations in molar crown height, or hypsodonty, is one of the best documented (Van Valen 1960, Fortelius 1985, Janis 1988, Janis & Fortelius 1988, Mendoza & Palmqvist 2008, Damuth & Janis 2011).”
• Influence of management practices on large herbivore diet—Case of European bison in Białowieża Primeval Forest (Poland) (2011, background): “However, European bison are morphophysiologically adapted to grazing (Hofmann, 1989; Mendoza and Palmqvist, 2008).”
• Tracing the ecophysiology of ungulates and predator–prey relationships in an early Pleistocene large mammal community (2008, background): “predicting the diet of extinct ones), in some species molar crown height alone may be insufficient to determine their feeding preferences (Fortelius and Solounias, 2000; Mendoza et al., 2002 ; Mendoza and Palmqvist, 2008).”
• The teeth of the “toothless”: novelties and key innovations in the evolution of xenarthrans (Mammalia, Xenarthra) (2009, background): “However, recent work reveals that the higher prevalence of grit and dust in more open habitats plays an important role in determining hypsodonty (Fortelius 1985; Janis 1988, 1995; Janis and Fortelius 1988; Mendoza and Palmqvist 2008).”
