• Microwear evidence for Plio–Pleistocene bovid diets from Makapansgat Limeworks Cave, South Africa (2006, background): “scriptus specimens support a C3 based diet (Sponheimer et al., 2003; Cerling et al., 2003).”
• Tracing the ecophysiology of ungulates and predator–prey relationships in an early Pleistocene large mammal community (2008, background): “The isotope enrichment factor for biogenic apatite is higher, +14.1‰ on average for ungulates (Cerling et al., 2003).”
• Isotopic evidence of early hominin diets (2013, background): “Folivores, however, can have predominantly C3, C4, or C3/C4 mixed diets (21, 22).”
• The Morphophysiological Adaptations of Browsing and Grazing Mammals (2008, background): “Hypsodonty index C1-C2 37 y n c */GR > BR (Cerling et al. 2003) Hypsodonty index C1-C2 13 n n c */GR > BR (Codron et al.”
• Regulation of shrub dynamics by native browsing ungulates on East African rangeland (2004, background): “Analyses of plants from East African savannas (including MRC) showed that C3 dicots have a δ13C signature of −25 to −29, while C4 grasses have a δ13C signature of −11 to −14 (Cerling et al. 2003).”
• DIETS OF SOUTHERN AFRICAN BOVIDAE: STABLE ISOTOPE EVIDENCE (2003, background): “We also compare these data with stable carbon isotope results from East African bovids (Cerling et al. 2003).”
• Stable isotope characterization of mammalian predator–prey relationships in a South African savanna (2007, methodology): “Single isotope mixing models have been widely used to resolve inputs of two isotopically distinct food sources, such as proportions of C3 to C4 biomass consumed by savanna herbivores from δ13C data (Cerling et al. 2003; Sponheimer et al. 2003b; Codron et al. 2005).”
• Isotopic dietary reconstructions of Pliocene herbivores at Laetoli: Implications for early hominin paleoecology (2007, background): “However, Harris and Cerling (2002) note that the δ18O values are more consistent with bush pigs or forest hogs that are more water dependent.”
• Diets of savanna ungulates from stable carbon isotope composition of faeces (2007, background): “Cerling et al. (2003) reported diets of 100% grass in buffalo and wildebeest, while the results for Kruger Park and indeed all of southern Africa (Sponheimer et al., 2003b) are consistent with 410% C3 contributions to diet.”
