• Mammalian dental function and wear: A review (2015, unknown): “Finally, Lucas and coauthors [209] have even suggested that phytoliths are actually grit mimics.”
• The ecology of herbivore‐induced silicon defences in grasses (2016, result): “In contrast, recent studies have demonstrated that silicon phytoliths in many grass species are softer than tooth enamel of mammal groups including ungulates, macropods and primates (Sanson, Kerr & Gross 2007; Rabenold & Pearson 2011; Erickson 2014; Lucas et al. 2014; Rivals et al. 2014).”
