Dental Microwear Attributes of P4 and M1 in Cercocebus atys.

N = 14 for all samples. Two-tailed probabilities were evaluated via the Wilcoxon signed-ranks test. Asfc = area scale fractal complexity, describes “pittedness” of enamel surfaces; high values are observed in hard-object feeders among living primates.. Lsar = length scale anisotropy of relief, a measure of heterogeneity of the microwear fabric. Tfv = textural fill volume, a measure of the three-dimensional volume of smaller surface features. Smc = scale of maximal complexity, an indicator of feature size, with smaller features contributing to higher index values.
