Variations in molar enamel thickness among primates
Because of its hardness, resistance to abrasion and its influence on crown morphology, molar enamel thickness is an important factor in adaptation of the dentition to the diet. Enamel thickness has also been discussed extensively in relation to the phylogenetic relationships among the hominoids. The aims of this study were: (1) to analyse enamel thickness/tooth size relationships among primates as a whole, and (2) to evaluate variations in enamel…
Food transport through the anterior oral cavity in macaques
Intraoral transport, the movement of food or liquid through the oral cavity and oropharynx, is a major component of feeding behavior. Stage I transport, transport through the oral cavity prior to mastication, has been described for several mammals (Franks et al.: Arch. Oral Biol. 30:539, 1985; Hiiemae and Crompton: Hildebrand et al. (eds.): Functional Vertebrate Morphology, Cambridge, MA, Belknap Press, 1985). Previous work (Franks et al.: Am. J.…
Distribution of enamel on the incisors of old world monkeys
Longitudinal ground sections of 29 Old World monkey central lower incisors were studied histologically and metrically. Labiolingual incisor width tended to scale isometrically with body weight but with important deviations in relative incisor size, which appeared to be correlated with diet in accord with work by Hylander. Lower incisors of the predominantly folivorous colobine monkeys had a substantial layer of enamel on both lingual and labial a…
Jaw movement and tooth use in recent and fossil primates
Masticatory movements and molar wear facets in species of Tupaia, Galago, Saimiri , and Ateles have been examined using cinefluorography and occlusal analysis. The molars have been compared with those of a fossil series: Palenochtha, Pelycodus and Aegyptopithecus. The extant primates are almost identical in their feeding behaviour, the movements and timing of the masticatory cycle. Food is first puncture‐crushed where the cycle is elongated, the …
