abstract = {{Objectives: This study aims to examine primate postcanine tooth root surface area{\textless}br{\textgreater}(TRSA) in the context of two ecological variables (diet and bite force). We also assess{\textless}br{\textgreater}scaling relationships within distinct taxonomic groups and across the order as a{\textless}br{\textgreater}whole.{\textless}br{\textgreater}Materials and Methods: Mandibular postcanine TRSA was measured using a three-{\textless}br{\textgreater}dimensional computed tomography (CT) method for catarrhine (N {\textequals} 27), platyrrhine{\textless}br{\textgreater}(N {\textequals} 21), and strepsirrhine (N {\textequals} 24) taxa; this represents the first sample of{\textless}br{\textgreater}strepsirrhines. Two different body size proxies were used: cranial geometric mean{\textless}br{\textgreater}(GM) using nine linear measurements, and literature-derived body mass (BM).{\textless}br{\textgreater}Results: TRSA correlated strongly with body size, scaling with positive allometry or{\textless}br{\textgreater}isometry across the order as a whole; however, scaling differed significantly between{\textless}br{\textgreater}taxa for some teeth. Among Strepsirrhini, molar TRSA relative to GM differed signifi-{\textless}br{\textgreater}cantly between folivores and pliant-object feeders. Additionally, P4 TRSA relative to{\textless}br{\textgreater}BM differentiated folivores from both hard- and pliant-object feeders. Among{\textless}br{\textgreater}Cercopithecoidea, P4 TRSA adjusted by GM differed between hard- and pliant-object{\textless}br{\textgreater}feeders.{\textless}br{\textgreater}Discussion: Dietary signals in TRSA appear primarily driven by high frequency loading{\textless}br{\textgreater}experienced by folivores. Stronger and more frequent dietary signals were observed{\textless}br{\textgreater}within Strepsirrhini relative to Haplorhini. This may reflect the constraints of ortho-{\textless}br{\textgreater}gnathism within the latter, constraining the adaptability of their postcanine teeth.{\textless}br{\textgreater}Finally, because of the strong correlation between TRSA and BM for each tooth locus{\textless}br{\textgreater}(mean r2 {\textequals} 0.82), TRSA can be used to predict BM in fossil primates using provided{\textless}br{\textgreater}equations}},
