Coming to grips with economic development: Variation in adult hand grip strength during health transition in Vanuatu.

abstract：OBJECTIVES:Dental microwear is a promising tool to reconstruct animals' diet because it reflects the interplay between the enamel surface and the food items recently consumed. This study examines the sources of inter-individual variations in dietary habits in a free-ranging population of mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx) u...
