Feeding behavior
- Modification of feeding circuits in the evolution of social behavior
Summary: Social behaviors are linked to foraging behavior on a behavioral and mechanistic level, and we propose that modifications of feeding circuits are crucial in the evolution of social behaviors.
- Accuracy of mandibular force profiles for bite force estimation and feeding behavior reconstruction in extant and extinct carnivorans
Summary: Computed tomography reveals that mandibular force profiles permit highly accurate reconstruction of bite force and feeding behavior in extant and extinct carnivorans.
