OverviewAI-generated summary
Caitlin B. Yoakum's research program investigates the ontogenetic biomechanics of primate mandibles, with a particular focus on capuchin monkeys. Her work examines how jaw leverage, skull shape, and bite force change throughout development. Yoakum has explored these changes in both tufted (Sapajus) and untufted (Cebus) capuchins, contributing to our understanding of feeding behaviors and craniofacial evolution in these species. She has also conducted research on the anatomical relationships of the inferior alveolar nerve and mandibular canal. Yoakum has co-authored multiple publications with researchers from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Claire E. Terhune, Paul M. Gignac, Taylor A. Polvadore, and Parker M. Taylor. Her published work includes studies on primate feeding behavior, jaw mechanics, and anatomical descriptions.
