Hypsodonty and tooth facet development in relation to diet and habitat in herbivorous ungulates: implications for understanding tooth wear (2013, background): “The mesowear signal is not stable during ontogeny, and ontogenetic variation is more pronounced in brachydont species (Fortelius & Solounias 2000, Rivals et al. 2007).”
Dietary flexibility and niche partitioning of large herbivores through the Pleistocene of Britain (2016, background): “Over the past decade, integrated studies of microwear and mesowear have been undertaken for the inference of paleodiets (Rivals and Semprebon, 2006; Rivals et al., 2007a).”
Evidence for geographic variation in the diets of late Pleistocene and early Holocene Bison in North America, and differences from the diets of recent Bison (2007, background): “Obviously, unworn (and marginally worn) teeth, extremely worn teeth (where the crown has worn nearly to or below the dentinoenamel junction), and those with broken or damaged cusp apices are omitted from mesowear analysis (Rivals et al., 2007).”
