Feeding behaviour and taphonomic characterization of non-ingested rabbit remains produced by the Iberian lynx (Lynx pardinus) (2013, background): “Bone density variability and resistance to tooth penetration in cancellous, thinning cortical and cortical bone (Selvaggio and Wilder, 2001; Domínguez-Rodrigo and Piqueras, 2003) were taken into account.”
A study of dimensional differences of tooth marks (pits and scores) on bones modified by small and large carnivores (2012, background): “This was already documented by Selvaggio and Wilder (2001) and Dominguez-Rodrigo and Piqueras (2003), who argued that medium-sized felids modify bones in a similar way to smaller carnivores.”
The use of tooth pits to identify carnivore taxa in tooth-marked archaeofaunas and their relevance to reconstruct hominid carcass processing behaviours (2003, methodology): “The length/breadth ratios for individual carnivore taxa are similar but not the same as those reported by Selvaggio and Wilder [24] for the same species.”
Understanding the ancient habitats of the last-interglacial (late MIS 5) Neanderthals of Central Iberia: paleoenvironmental and taphonomic evidence from the Cueva del Camino (Spain) site (2012, methodology): “Tooth mark distribution in the bone portions is done following themethods of Selvaggio and Wilder (2001) Domínguez-Rodrigo and Piqueras (2003) and Delaney-Rivera et al. (2009).”
