Metagenomic analyses reveal previously unrecognized variation in the diets of sympatric Old World monkey species.

Metagenomic analyses reveal previously unrecognized variation in the diets of sympatric Old World monkey species.

Insectivory, or the consumption of insects and other arthropods, is a significant yet cryptic component of omnivorous primate diets. Here, we used high-throughput DNA sequencing to identify arthropods from fecal DNA and assess variation in insectivory by closely-related sympatric primates. We identi...
