How do you measure a diet? Traditional research often labels primates into broad guilds like "insectivore" or "frugivore," but new research from Keegan Selig suggests a more nuanced approach is needed. #Primatology #Evolution #DentalTopography #Paleontology #BioAnthropology #ScienceResearch
Headshot of Dr. Keegan Selig advertising his new publication. infographic with title, journal name, and major points from the article:

- used Dirichlet normal energy to measure molar sharpness compared to volume of crunchy insects in diet
- provides insight into evolutionary shifts
