Chewed out: an experimental link between food material properties and repetitive loading of the masticatory apparatus in mammals

Using a model organism (rabbits) that resembles a number of mammalian herbivores in key aspects of its chewing behaviors, we examined how variation in dietary mechanical properties affects food breakdown during mastication. Such data have implications for understanding phenotypic variation in the ma...
