Dental microwear texture analysis of extant sika deer with considerations on inter-microscope variability and surface preparation protocols

Recently, dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) has been applied to various kinds of vertebrates to infer dietary preference. More data are needed on inter-microscope variability to assure the objectivity and repeatability of this method. In the present paper, we investigated inter-microscope var...
