This study examines the mechanical performance of frugivorous fish dentitions, comparing them to bats and primates and finding that Colossoma matches the low force, high work model for fruit tissue indentation.

This study compares muscle-driven and latch-mediated spring actuation mechanisms in trap-jaw ants using biomechanical models calibrated to morphological data, finding LaMSA outperforms MDA at small mandible mass.
