A Force-Testing Machine Bit Proxy Insects between 3-D-Printed Teeth Replicas from An Upper and Lower (VIDEO)
Caption
To imitate insect prey for experiments documenting bite force, energy efficiency and damage by Morganucodon and Kuehneotherium jaws, the researchers constructed gel-filled, candy bar-shaped rectangles coated with a polymer shell to mimic an insect's exoskeleton.
