Hypsodonty and tooth facet development in relation to diet and habitat in herbivorous ungulates: implications for understanding tooth wear (2013, methodology): “Data on the MS were calculated according to Kaiser et al. (2009) and Kaiser (2011), where the mesowear signal for each individual is translated to one ordinal variable ranging from 0 to 4; the MS of a species is then calculated as the average of all available dental individuals.”
Still walking on the wild side? Management actions as steps towards 'semi-domestication' of hunted ungulates (2010, background): “Captive browsers have higher rates of tooth wear than their wild relatives, probably due to the change in feeding habits (Kaiser et al. 2009).”
