I wonder if there is any larger new study, where same scientist group would have made testing with different species with same methods and equipment to get reliable and comparable results? With new I mean something published in last 3-5 years.

Bite force experiments are at best subjective. With different methods, the result will be always gonna be different.

Yes, but when different people make studies in different times, it is very difficult to know how comparable really.

I mean, when it is measuring size of some animal, it is quite simple. You just take some measurements from commonly agreed places. When measuring bones and skulls it is also very simple when using commonly agreed points, where measurements are taken. That also makes it easy and simple give some weight estimations based on commonly agreed calculation formula. Simple and easy.

But when we are talking about bite force, there are more variables like used equipment, how animal was made to bite and how it was done so, that animal really gave effort.... not as simple anymore. There can be many opinions naturally, when many times results are somewhat different from different sources. Personally I am hoping, that something new would come up and that was what I was asking here now:) Reply
