Effects of climate on dental mesowear of extant koalas and two broadly distributed kangaroos throughout their geographic range

Dental mesowear analysis can classify the diets of extant herbivores into general categories such as grazers, mixed-feeders, and browsers by using the gross wear patterns found on individual teeth.
