- This is the first study on the dietary ecology of the newly discovered Homo naledi (discovered 2015). Published in the leading specialist journal, it proposed a new method for quantifying a tooth’s morphological resistance to wear (portion de ciel visible, PCV), garnering public attention (Altmetric score: 34, 3 Wikipedia pages), and leading to 2 subsequent publications. PCV is currently being employed by groups at Arizona State University and the University of Barcelona. Results from this paper have led to recent grant submissions (e.g., Leverhulme Research Project Grant), and establishment of a strategic collaboration with the Natural History Museum, London.
