Assessment of comminution capacity related to molar intercuspation in catarrhines using a chewing simulator
Mammalian molars play a central role during chewing, or food comminution, through cyclic dental occlusion. Mammals fragment food items with varying degrees of efficiency depending on their dental morphology, suggesting an adaptive link that is yet to be assessed. Here, we test the effect of molar mo...
