The goal of this study is to evaluate ecomorphological variables in glyptodonts from different ages (Miocene to early Holocene), clades, and sizes, with the purpose of inferring their habitats and feeding habits. The analyses included estimation of body masses and three variables: relative muzzle width (RMW), hypsodonty index (HI), and dental occlusal surface area (OSA). RMW allows the distinction of two main groups: the small-sized early Miocene propalaehoplophorids were selective feeders, while the larger post-Miocene forms were more bulk feeders. The Pleistocene Glyptodon appears as an exception, implying a reversion to a selective feeding behavior. The relation between RMW and HI allows discriminating feeding niche partitioning in glypt...
