OverviewAI-generated summary

Caitlin B. Yoakum's research investigates ontogenetic changes in the feeding biomechanics of primates, with a focus on tufted and untufted capuchins. Her work examines how bite force, gape, jaw leverage, and skull shape evolve across different developmental stages in these species. Yoakum also studies the anatomical relationships within the mammalian skull, including the inferior alveolar nerve and its connection to the mandibular canal. Her scholarly contributions are reflected in a publication record that includes studies on primate feeding behaviors and mandibular biomechanics, as well as research on medical imaging techniques. She collaborates with researchers from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Claire E. Terhune and Paul M. Gignac, with whom she has co-authored multiple publications.
