A biomechanical approach to understand the ecomorphological relationship between primate mandibles and diet
Abstract The relationship between primate mandibular form and diet has been previously analysed by applying a wide array of techniques and approaches. Nonetheless, most of these studies compared few species and/or infrequently aimed to elucidate function based on an explicit biomechanical framework....
