• Mammalian dental function and wear: A review (2015, unknown): “Indeed, some researchers began to return to low-magni fi cation light microscopy [156,157] because of the cost and effort associated with SEM analysis.”
• Dental microwear texture analysis of extant African Bovidae (2012, methodology): “…in the literature (e.g., Vrba 1980, 1985 , Wing et al. 1992 , Bobe and Eck 2001) and their fossils are frequently used to infer the ecological context of a site (e.g., Gentry 1970 , Solounias and Dawson -Saunders 1988 , Merceron et al. 2004a, 2005 , Merceron and Ungar 2005 , Ungar et al. 2007 ).”
• Dietary flexibility and niche partitioning of large herbivores through the Pleistocene of Britain (2016, background): “Tooth microwear and mesowear techniques are powerful tools for gaining insight into local and global environmental trends (Merceron et al., 2004, 2007; Rivals et al., 2010; Semprebon et al., 2004a).”
• Dental Microwear Texture Analysis of Varswater Bovids and Early Pliocene Paleoenvironments of Langebaanweg, Western Cape Province, South Africa (2007, methodology): “Other techniques combining low-magnification light microscopy (Merceron et al. 2004a, b) or white light confocal microscopy (Merceron and Ungar 2005; Schubert et al. 2006) with semiautomated image analysis have also been effective in distinguishing extant grazing and browsing ungulates.”
• Dental microwear of fossil bovids from northern Greece: paleoenvironmental conditions in the eastern Mediterranean during the Messinian (2005, methodology): “Thus, as in previous studies (Ungar, 1996; King et al., 1999; Merceron et al., 2004a,b), we include the data from both mandibular and maxillary molars in a single sample.”
• 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): “Further discussion of this methodology and its application toward dietary reconstruction can also be found in Godfrey et al. (2004), Merceron et al. (2004), Palombo et al. (2005).”
• Microwear evidence for Plio–Pleistocene bovid diets from Makapansgat Limeworks Cave, South Africa (2006, methodology): “…pits separated the extant taxa into dietary categories with browsers having a higher percentage of pits than grazers and mixed feeders overlapping in their pit percentage with either grazers or browsers (e.g., Solounias and Hayek, 1993; Solounias and Semprebon, 2002; Merceron et al., 2004a,b) (Fig.”
