Head shape allometry and proximate causes of head sexual dimorphism in Podarcis lizards: joining linear and geometric morphometrics (2007, background): “In other lizard families, the morphology of the jaw adductor might be modified without head size increase (Xenosauridae: Herrel et al., 2001a).”
Mechanics of bite force production and its relationship to diet in bats (2010, unknown): “Ecomorphological studies have demonstrated mechanistic links between cranial morphology, bite force and feeding ecology for only a handful of vertebrate species (e.g. Cleuren, Aerts & De Vree 1995; Herrel, Aerts & De Vree 1998; Herrel et al. 2001c; Huber et al. 2005).”
Bite force in vertebrates: opportunities and caveats for use of a nonpareil whole-animal performance measure (2008, background): “Among the different shape components of the head that could affect bite force, head width and height are usually the best predictors of maximal bite force capacity within and across species (Herrel et al., 1999a, 2001a, b, 2002, 2004).”
Correlations between lizard cranial shape and diet: A quantitative, phylogenetically informed analysis (2005, background): “For example, increased frontal-parietal height is expected to correlate with increased bite force (Herrel et al. , 2001a, b) and lever arm length 436 K. A. METZGER and A. HERREL © 2005 The Linnean Society of London, Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2005, 86 , 433–466 of jaw opening…”
Relationships between head size, bite force, prey handling efficiency and diet in two sympatric lacertid lizards (2002, methodology): “The ontogenetic shifts in diet, observed in many lacertid lizards (Castilla, Bauwens & Llorente 1991; Angelici, Luiselli & Rugiero 1997; Herrel et al. 2001b; see also Capel-Williams & Pratten 1978) may well reflect the increase of bite capacity with age.”
Bite-Force Performance Predicts Dominance in Male Venerable Collared Lizards (Crotaphytus antiquus) (2006, background): “In lizards, the positive relationship between bite force and head size is well known (Herrel et al., 1999, 2001; Lappin, 1999), and two of the studies relating head size to dominance in lizards suggested that the functional relationship may be due to individuals with larger heads being able to bite…”
Functional basis for sexual differences in bite force in the lizard Anolis carolinensis (2007, background): “…the correlates of head size with bite force have confirmed this suggestion; males tend to have larger heads and do indeed bite harder than females (Herrel et al. , 1996, 2001a; Herrel, Van Damme & De Vree, 1999; Herrel, De Grauw & Lemos-Espinal, 2001b; McBrayer & White, 2002; Verwaijen, Van Damme…”
Evolution of bite performance in turtles (2002, background): “Other potentially important performance measures such as bite force have rarely been measured (but see Herrel et al., 1999, 2001a, b).”
The implications of food hardness for diet in bats (2003, methodology): “Food hardness or crushing strength of food items was measured using an isometric Kistler force transducer (type 9203, Kistler Inc., Winterthor, Switzerland) connected to a Kistler charge amplifier (type 5995, Kistler Inc.; see Herrel et al . 2001 for a description of the set-up).”
