Taking a big bite: Working together to better understand the evolution of feeding in primates
The study of adaptation requires the integration of an array of different types of data. A single individual can find such integration daunting, if not impossible. In an effort to clarify the role of diet in the evolution of the primate craniofacial and dental apparatus, we assembled a team of researchers that have various types and degrees of expertise. This interaction has provided a range of insights for all contributors, and this has helped t…
Unexpected hard‐object feeding in Western lowland gorillas
OBJECTIVES: Gorilla diets are characterized by large amounts of fruit and tough fibrous plant material. Hard-object feeding is not generally associated with this genus as the high crests on their molar teeth would be at risk of damage from the mechanically challenging woody endocarp. This study aims to demonstrate that at least one population of western lowland gorillas are seasonal hard-object feeders, orally processing the seeds of Coula edulis…
