How animals process and absorb nutrients from their food is a fundamental question in biology. Despite the continuity and interaction between intraoral food processing and post-oesophageal nutritional extraction, these topics have largely b...
Rhythmic chew cycles with distinct fast and slow phases are ancestral to gnathostomes [0.03%]
快慢相间的咀嚼周期节律是脊椎动物颌的祖先状态
Brian A Richard,Meghan Spence,Mateo Rull-Garza et al.
Brian A Richard et al.
Intra-oral food processing, including chewing, is important for safe swallowing and efficient nutrient assimilation across tetrapods. Gape cycles in tetrapod chewing consist of four phases (fast open and -close, and slow open and -close), w...

Diet and nutrition comprise a complex, multi-faceted interface between animal biology and food environments. With accumulating information on the many facets of this association arises a need for systems-based approaches that integrate diet...

Ants are a dominant family of eusocial terrestrial insects with a diversity of ecologies, lifestyles and morphologies. Ant diet preferences range from strict carnivory through omnivory to almost complete herbivory in species feeding on seed...

Both teeth and the digestive tract show adaptations that are commonly interpreted in the context of trophic guilds-faunivory, herbivory and omnivory. Teeth prepare food for the digestive tract, and dental evolution focuses on increasing dur...
Characterizing tongue deformations during mastication using changes in planar components of three-dimensional angles [0.03%]
基于三维角度平面分量的变化表征咀嚼过程中的舌变形

Understanding of tongue deformations during mammalian mastication is limited, but has benefited from recent developments in multiplanar imaging technology. Here, we demonstrate how a standardized radiopaque marker implant configuration and ...
Biomechanics of cutting: sharpness, wear sensitivity and the scaling of cutting forces in leaf-cutter ant mandibles [0.03%]
叶切 ants 颚部切割的生物力学：锋利度、磨损敏感性和切割力的尺度效应
Frederik Püffel,O K Walthaus,Victor Kang et al.
Frederik Püffel et al.
Herbivores large and small need to mechanically process plant tissue. Their ability to do so is determined by two forces: the maximum force they can generate, and the minimum force required to fracture the plant tissue. The ratio of these f...
Three-dimensional kinematics of leaf-cutter ant mandibles: not all dicondylic joints are simple hinges [0.03%]
切叶蚁口器的三维运动学：并非所有的双关节都是简单的铰链式结构

Insects use their mandibles for a variety of tasks, including food processing, material transport, nest building, brood care, and fighting. Despite this functional diversity, mandible motion is typically thought to be constrained to rotatio...
Using salamanders as model taxa to understand vertebrate feeding constraints during the late Devonian water-to-land transition [0.03%]
利用虎纹蝾螈了解晚泥盆纪水生到陆生过渡期间的脊椎动物摄食限制因素
Daniel Schwarz,Egon Heiss,Todd W Pierson et al.
Daniel Schwarz et al.
The vertebrate water-to-land transition and the rise of tetrapods brought about fundamental changes for the groups undergoing these evolutionary changes (i.e. stem and early tetrapods). These groups were forced to adapt to new conditions, i...
Head posture impacts mammalian hyoid position and suprahyoid muscle length: implication for swallowing biomechanics [0.03%]
头部姿势影响哺乳动物舌骨位置和上舌骨肌长度：对吞咽生物力学的意义
Peishu Li,Callum F Ross,Zhe-Xi Luo et al.
Peishu Li et al.
Instantaneous head posture (IHP) can extensively alter resting hyoid position in humans, yet postural effects on resting hyoid position remain poorly documented among mammals in general. Clarifying this relationship is essential for evaluat...
