Baboon Feeding Ecology Informs the Dietary Niche of Paranthropus boisei
Hominins are generally considered eclectic omnivores like baboons, but recent isotope studies call into question the generalist status of some hominins. Paranthropus boisei and Australopithecus bahrelghazali derived 75%-80% of their tissues' δ(13)C from C4 sources, i.e. mainly low-quality foods like grasses and sedges. Here I consider the energetics of P. boisei and the nutritional value of C4 ...
متن کاملMechanisms of tooth eruption and orthodontic tooth movement.
Teeth move through alveolar bone, whether through the normal process of tooth eruption or by strains generated by orthodontic appliances. Both eruption and orthodontics accomplish this feat through similar fundamental biological processes, osteoclastogenesis and osteogenesis, but there are differences that make their mechanisms unique. A better appreciation of the molecular and cellular events ...
متن کاملRelationship between Tooth Loss and Physical Activity, Dietary Habits and Smoking in Residents of Yazd City (YaHS Study)
Introduction: Tooth loss is debilitating and affects the quality of life. This problem has multiple etiologies like microorganisms, physical activity, nutrition and smoking. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between tooth loss and physical activity, dietary habits and smoking in adults of Yazd City. Methods: This descriptive cross sectional study was conducted using the i...
متن کاملIsotopic evidence for dietary variability in the early hominin Paranthropus robustus.
Traditional methods of dietary reconstruction do not allow the investigation of dietary variability within the lifetimes of individual hominins. However, laser ablation stable isotope analysis reveals that the delta13C values of Paranthropus robustus individuals often changed seasonally and interannually. These data suggest that Paranthropus was not a dietary specialist and that by about 1.8 mi...
متن کاملDietary and environmental reconstruction with stable isotope analyses of herbivore tooth enamel from the Miocene locality of Fort Ternan, Kenya.
Tooth enamel of nine Middle Miocene mammalian herbivores from Fort Ternan, Kenya, was analyzed for delta 13C and delta 18O. The delta 18O values of the tooth enamel compared with pedogenic and diagenetic carbonate confirm the use of stable isotope analysis of fossil tooth enamel as a paleoenvironmental indicator. Furthermore, the delta 18O of tooth enamel indicates differences in water sources ...
