I have a paper in a recent ICAZ volume on ageing and sexing that looks
at tooth wear in goats and sheep and touches on the questionof male and
femal wear and domesticate vs wild. I'll attach it here.

Hi,
I am wondering whether anyone out there knows of any research looking at
tooth abrasion/caries on grazing and rooting animals. I am particuarly
interested if it is possible to determine whether there is a difference
between the condition of wild and domesticated animals teeth and whether
this is to do with the type of plants the animals are feeding upon.
Thanks for your help
