Article Synopsis
- - The study explores how incisor size and curvature in primates can indicate dietary differences, utilizing a new method called dental topographic analysis alongside traditional measures and statistics.
- - Researchers measured various dimensions and shapes of incisors in 107 modern anthropoid primates and found significant dietary distinctions, with no notable sexual differences.
- - Results suggest that the Relief Index (RFI) and linear measurements are reliable indicators of diet in primates, highlighting the need for a detailed approach when applying these findings to fossil species.
