Enamel Prism Angle Variation and Hard‐Object Feeding in Cercopithecoids With Known Diets
Our finding that the prism angles of a fallback hard-object feeder (Lophocebus albigena) are more similar to those of a soft-object feeder (Cercopithecus) than to a habitual hard-object feeder (Cercocebus atys) suggests that the correspondence between durophagy and enamel microstructure is not straightforward, complicating our ability to infer durophagy in the fossil record.
