Bonobos are identified as a key subject for studying dietary diversity due to their varied fruit-based diet [1], and their specific dietary diversity indices have been quantitatively measured through behavioral and fecal analysis [2], with further research examining how their consumption of diverse food items relates to seasonal availability [3].

claimIn the 2017 behavioral observation data set for bonobos, the consumption of fruit, leaf, and flower items was not associated with seasonal food availability.
claimFrugivorous primates, such as bonobos, are valuable for examining dietary diversity and testing foraging models because they eat a variety of species and are subject to seasonal shifts in fruit availability.
claimBehavioral observation data sets yielded significantly higher dietary diversity indices for bonobos than fecal washing data sets.
