Limited evidence of C4 plant consumption in mound building Macrotermes termites from savanna woodland chimpanzee sites.

Limited evidence of C4 plant consumption in mound building Macrotermes termites from savanna woodland chimpanzee sites.

Stable isotope analysis is an increasingly used molecular tool to reconstruct the diet and ecology of elusive primates such as unhabituated chimpanzees. The consumption of C4 plant feeding termites by chimpanzees may partly explain the relatively high carbon isotope values reported for some chimpanz...
