• Hypsodonty and tooth facet development in relation to diet and habitat in herbivorous ungulates: implications for understanding tooth wear (2013, background): “Semprebon and Rivals (2007) had also considered but rejected this hypothesis because it is, in their view, not compatible with the browsing mesowear signal characteristic of the species; these authors imply that the ingestion of soil should lead to a distinct change of the molar wear facets and…”
• Dietary flexibility and niche partitioning of large herbivores through the Pleistocene of Britain (2016, background): “Ungulate tooth mesowear and microwear in particular have served as useful proxies for geographical and/or temporal variability in diet and vegetation structure through the Cenozoic (Mihlbachler et al., 2011; Semprebon and Rivals, 2007, 2010; Semprebon et al., 2016).”
• Tooth wear in captive wild ruminant species differs from that of free-ranging conspecifics (2009, methodology): “…of the biology of extinct species 16 (Franz-Odendaal et al., 2003; Kaiser and Fortelius, 2003; Kaiser and Croitor, 2004; 17 Mihlbachler and Solounias, 2006; Schulz et al., 2007; Semprebon and Rivals, 2007) 18 or of whole palaeoecosystems (Kaiser and Rössner, 2007; Rivals et al., 2008).”
• Grit not grass: Concordant patterns of early origin of hypsodonty in Great Plains ungulates and Glires (2012, background): “Other Miocene ungulate clades that evolved hypsodont forms, antilocaprids (pronghorns) (Semprebon and Rivals, 2007) and camelids (Semprebon and Rivals, 2010), show a later rise in hypsodonty, in the late Middle Miocene, echoing the transition in the horses.”
