Fig. 3. Mean lengths of jaw cycle phases and total jaw cycles in number of frames
(filmed at 60 frames s–1). Gape phase was significantly
longer during pouching of large food items than small. SC/SO phases were
significantly shorter for pouching of small items than for mastication or
pouching of large items. Total jaw cycle length was significantly different
for mastication, pouching large food items and pouching small food items.
*Bars grouped together are significantly different from each other
(P<0.001). Lg, large items; Sm, small items.
