Forage silica and water content control dental surface texture in guinea pigs and provide implications for dietary reconstruction
Published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences - PNAS (22-01-2019)“…Recent studies have shown that phytoliths are softer than dental enamel but still act as abrasive agents. Thus, phytolith content should be reflected in dental…”
