Craniofacial Fluctuating Asymmetry in Cross River Gorillas ( Gorilla gorilla diehli )
Aspects of Mandibular Ontogeny in Australopithecus afarensis
Toughness of the Virunga mountain gorilla ( Gorilla beringei beringei ) diet across an altitudinal gradient
The robust masticatory system of mountain gorillas is thought to have evolved for the comminution of tough vegetation, yet, compared to other primates, the toughness of the mountain gorilla diet is unremarkable. This may be a result of low plant toughness in the mountain gorilla environment or of mountain gorillas feeding selectively on low-toughness foods. The goal of this paper is to determine how the toughness of the mountain gorilla diet vari…
A radiographic study of permanent molar development in wild Virunga mountain gorillas of known chronological age from R wanda
OBJECTIVES: While dental development is important to life history investigations, data from wild known-aged great apes are scarce. We report on the first radiographic examination of dental development in wild Virunga mountain gorillas, using known-age skeletal samples recovered in Rwanda. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In 43 individuals (0.0-14.94 years), we collected radiographs of mandibular molars, and where possible, cone beam CT scans. Molar crown a…
Age‐related changes in molar topography and shearing crest length in a wild population of mountain Gorillas from Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda
OBJECTIVES: Great ape teeth must remain functional over long lifespans. The molars of the most folivorous apes, the mountain gorillas, must maintain shearing function for 40+ years while the animals consume large quantities of mechanically challenging foods. While other folivorous primates experience dental senescence, which compromises their occlusal surfaces and affects their reproductive success as they age, it is unknown whether dental senesc…
Tooth wear and feeding ecology in mountain gorillas from Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda
OBJECTIVES: Ecological factors have a dramatic effect on tooth wear in primates, although it remains unclear how individual age contributes to functional crown morphology. The aim of this study is to determine how age and individual diet are related to tooth wear in wild mountain gorillas (Gorilla beringei beringei) from Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We calculated the percent of dentine exposure (PDE) for all permanent mo…
Primate dietary ecology in the context of food mechanical properties
Effects of dietary fracture toughness and dental wear on chewing efficiency in geladas ( T heropithecus gelada )
Chewing efficiency has been associated with fitness in mammals, yet little is known about the behavioral, ecological, and morphological factors that influence chewing efficiency in wild animals. Although research has established that dental wear and food material properties independently affect chewing efficiency, few studies have addressed the interaction among these factors. We examined chewing efficiency, measured as mean fecal particle size, …
