Objectives Determining nutritional development in wild primates is difficult through
observations because confirming dietary intake is challenging. Physiological measures are …

Comparative data on the diets of extant primates inform hypotheses about hominin resource
use. Historically, data describing chimpanzee diets stem primarily from forest-dwelling …

Stable isotope biogeochemistry has been used to investigate foraging ecology in non‐
human primates for nearly 30 years. Whereas early studies focused on diet, more recently …

Reconstructing diets from stable carbon isotopic signals in enamel bioapatite requires the
application of a δ 13 C enamel-diet enrichment factor, or the isotopic offset between diet and …

Stable isotope analysis of primate tissues in tropical forest contexts is an increasingly
popular means of obtaining information about niche distinctions among sympatric species …

Palaeoclimatological and palaeoenvironmental reconstructions based on stable isotope
analysis of mammalian bone require an understanding of the behavior and physiology of the …

Objectives Australopithecus anamensis has comparable δ13Cenamel values to
Ardipithecus ramidus, and both have been characterized as C3 feeders in open woodland …

Maternal lactational investment can affect female reproductive rates and offspring survival in
mammals and can be biased towards infants of one sex. We compared estimates of lactation …

Stable isotope analysis has long been used to study the dietary ecology of living and fossil
primates, and there has been increasing interest in using stable isotopes to study primate …

Recent discoveries about wild chimpanzees have dramatically reshaped our understanding
of these great apes and their kinship with humans. We now know that chimpanzees not only …
