The three cultures in American science: Publication productivity in physics, history and economics
Do senior faculty members produce fewer research publications than their younger colleagues? Evidence from Ph.D. granting institutions in the United States
The aging of the professoriate throughout the end of the twentieth century and the early years of the 2000′s (both before and after the end of mandatory retirement in the United States, ca. 1994) has become a source of concern for some scholars and research administrators, who posit that the “greying” of the academy results in lower research activity and a decline in scientific advancement. Some published opinions concur that senior scholars’ res…
Who’s writing open access (OA) articles? Characteristics of OA authors at Ph.D.-granting institutions in the United States
The open access (OA) publication movement aims to present research literature to the public at no cost and with no restrictions. While the democratization of access to scholarly literature is a primary focus of the movement, it remains unclear whether OA has uniformly democratized the corpus of freely available research, or whether authors who choose to publish in OA venues represent a particular subset of scholars—those with access to resources …
New hominoid fossils from Moroto II, Uganda and their bearing on the taxonomic and adaptive status of Morotopithecus bishopi
Dental Evidence from the Aterian Human Populations of Morocco
Three‐dimensional evaluation of root canal morphology in lower second premolars of early and middle pleistocene human populations from atapuerca (Burgos, Spain)
The aim of this study is to describe the morphology of the roots and root canals of permanent lower second premolars (LP4s) with fully developed roots of five hominin groups: Homo sp. (ATE9‐1 specimen) from Atapuerca‐Sima del Elefante locality, H. antecessor (ATD6‐4 and ATD6‐125) from Atapuerca‐Gran Dolina TD6 locality, H. heidelbergensis from Atapuerca‐Sima de los Huesos locality, H. neanderthalensis from Krapina, Regourdou, and Abri Bourgeois‐D…

Brief communication: Contributions of enamel‐dentine junction shape and enamel deposition to primate molar crown complexity
Molar crown morphology varies among primates from relatively simple in some taxa to more complex in others, with such variability having both functional and taxonomic significance. In addition to the primary cusps, crown surface complexity derives from the presence of crests, cuspules, and crenulations. Developmentally, this complexity results from the deposition of an enamel cap over a basement membrane (the morphology of which is preserved as t…
The Neandertal lower right deciduous second molar from Trou de l'Abîme at Couvin, Belgium
Brief communication: Dental development and enamel thickness in the Lakonis Neanderthal molar
Developmental and structural affinities between modern human and Neanderthal dental remains continue to be a subject of debate as well as their utility for informing assessments of life history and taxonomy. Excavation of the Middle Paleolithic cave site Lakonis in southern Greece has yielded a lower third molar (LKH 1). Here, we detail the crown development and enamel thickness of the distal cusps of the LKH 1 specimen, which has been classified…
Molar enamel thickness and dentine horn height in Gigantopithecus blacki
Absolutely thick molar enamel is consistent with large body size estimates and dietary inferences about Gigantopithecus blacki , which focus on tough or fibrous vegetation. In this study, 10 G. blacki molars demonstrating various stages of attrition were imaged using high‐resolution microtomography. Three‐dimensional average enamel thickness and relative enamel thickness measurements were recorded on the least worn molars within the sample ( n = …
Brief communication: Enamel thickness trends in the dental arcade of humans and chimpanzees
In addition to evidence for bipedality in some fossil taxa, molar enamel thickness is among the few characters distinguishing (thick‐enameled) hominins from the (thin‐enameled) African apes. Despite the importance of enamel thickness in taxonomic discussions and a long history of scholarship, measurements of enamel thickness are performed almost exclusively on molars, with relatively few studies examining premolars and anterior teeth. This focus …
Three-dimensional primate molar enamel thickness
Dental tissue proportions and enamel thickness in Neandertal and modern human molars
Dental trait expression at the enamel-dentine junction of lower molars in extant and fossil hominoids
Rapid dental development in a Middle Paleolithic Belgian Neanderthal
The evolution of life history (pace of growth and reproduction) was crucial to ancient hominin adaptations. The study of dental development facilitates assessment of growth and development in fossil hominins with greater precision than other skeletal analyses. During tooth formation, biological rhythms manifest in enamel and dentine, creating a permanent record of growth rate and duration. Quantification of these internal and external incremental…
Micro-computed tomography of primate molars: Methodological aspects of three-dimensional data collection
Technical note: Compatibility of microtomographic imaging systems for dental measurements
Modern micro‐computed tomography techniques allow the accurate visualization of internal dental structures, and are becoming widely used within (paleo‐) anthropological dental studies. There exist several types and name brands of microtomographic systems, however, which have been demonstrated to produce images that vary in resolution and signal‐to‐noise ratio. As a growing body of dental research using disparate microtomographic techniques is lik…
