Can Dental Microwear Textures Record Inter-Individual Dietary Variations?
BACKGROUND Dental microwear analyses are commonly used to deduce the diet of extinct mammals. Conventional methods rely on the user identifying features within a 2D image. However, recent interdisciplinary research has lead to the development of an advanced methodology that is free of observer error, based on the automated quantification of 3D surfaces by combining confocal microscopy with scal...
متن کاملDietary Reconstruction in Medieval Holbæk, Denmark using Dental Microwear and Macrowear, Isotopic Analyses, and Dental Caries
The medieval period in Denmark (11-16 century) was a time of great social and economic change. The current study seeks to analyze dietary patterns of individuals from a medieval site in Holbæk, Denmark who lived during this historically dynamic and tumultuous period. A previous isotopic analysis indicated a mixed terrestrial C3 based diet with varying amounts of marine foods (Jørkov 2007). This...
متن کاملTechnical note: Dental microwear textures of "Phase I" and "Phase II" facets.
The power stroke of mastication has been traditionally divided into two parts, one which precedes centric occlusion, and the other which follows it-"Phase I" and "Phase II," respectively. Recent studies of primate mastication have called into question the role of Phase II in food processing, as they have found little muscle activity or accompanying bone strain following centric occlusion. That ...
متن کاملInter-individual variations in carcinogen metabolism.
Explant cultures of human tissues metabolized chemical carcinogens into the ultimate carcinogenic form as measured by binding to cellular DNA. A wide inter-individual variation in the binding level of many chemical carcinogens to target cell DNA was observed, whereas lesser inter-individual variation was observed in primary epithelial cell cultures derived from the explants. The binding levels ...
متن کاملInter-Individual and Inter-Strain Variations in Zebrafish Locomotor Ontogeny
Zebrafish exhibit remarkable alterations in behaviour and morphology as they develop from early larval stages to mature adults. In this study we compare the locomotion parameters of six common zebrafish strains from two different laboratories to determine the stability and repeatability of these behaviours. Our results demonstrate large variability in locomotion and fast swim events between str...
