• Constraint and adaptation in the evolution of carnivoran skull shape (2011, background): “…directly to the need to deliver a high bite force and have developed independently in the various carnivore families considered here (Van Valkenburgh 1991, 2007; Biknevicius and Ruff 1992; Van Valkenburgh and Koepfli 1993; Biknevicius and Van Valkenburgh 1996; Therrien 2005a,b; Meloro et al. 2008).”
• The giant hyena Pachycrocuta brevirostris: Modelling the bone-cracking behavior of an extinct carnivore (2011, background): “A number of studies (e.g., Biknevicius and Ruff, 1992; Biknevicius and Van Valkenburgh, 1996; Therrien, 2005a,b; Therrien et al., 2005) have used the external dimensions of mandibles to model them as simplified solid, elliptical beams (i.e., cantilevers) that undergo bending loads during feeding.”
• Paleoecology of the large carnivore guild from the late Pleistocene of Argentina (2006, background): “…hunt larger prey and consumed larger amount of bones than the living Canis lupus Linnaeus, 1758 (e.g., Kurtén and Anderson 1980; Van Valkenburgh and Ruff 1987; Van Valkenburgh and Hertel 1993; Biknevicius and Van Valkenburgh 1996; Van Valkenburgh and Sacco 2002; Wroe et al. 2005; Therrien 2005a).”
• Long in the tooth: evolution of sabertooth cat cranial shape (2008, background): “…aspects of distinct features of the dentition (Van Valkenburgh and Ruff 1987; Biknevicius et al. 1996; Holliday and Steppan 2004) or the mandible (Therrien 2005), on isolated taxa, particularly Smilodon fatalis (Akersten 1985; Bryant 1996a), or on systematics (Matthew 1910; Martin 1980; Kurtén…”
• Déjà vu: the evolution of feeding morphologies in the Carnivora (2007, background): “Finally, the robust architecture of their dentary bones suggests that they were subjected to heavy loads, supporting high bite forces (Biknevicius and Van Valkenburgh 1996; Therrien 2005).”
