• Mechanical Properties of Plant Underground Storage Organs and Implications for Dietary Models of Early Hominins (2008, background): “The seeds of Tribulus cistoides may be classified as a fallback food, i.e., an exigent resource that Geospizia fortis utilized when preferred foods were scarce ( Marshall and Wrangham 2007 ).”
• Linking feeding ecology and population abundance: a review of food resource limitation on primates (2013, background): “Recent studies on primate feeding ecology 229 have categorized foods into preferred and fallback foods (Lambert 2007; 230 Marshall and Wrangham 2007; Marshall et al. 2009).”
• Fallback Foods of Red Leaf Monkeys (Presbytis rubicunda) in Danum Valley, Borneo (2012, background): “However, Marshall and Wrangham (2007) used the term low-quality only when compared with preferred food items.”
• Ecology of culture: do environmental factors influence foraging tool use in wild chimpanzees, Pan troglodytes verus? (2013, methodology): “Fallback foods are defined as foods whose use is negatively correlated with the availability of preferred foods (Marshall & Wrangham 2007).”
• Stone tool use in wild bearded capuchin monkeys, Cebus libidinosus. Is it a strategy to overcome food scarcity? (2012, methodology): “According to Marshall & Wrangham (2007) tool use in primates occurs primarily in the context of feeding for fallback foods during periods of low food availability.”
• Comparative Feeding Ecology of Sympatric Microcebus berthae and M. murinus (2008, background): “Kappeler ( Marshall and Wrangham 2007 ). Species inhabiting the dry deciduous forests of Madagascar face high fluctuations in availability of fleshy fruit, flowers, and arthropods and a more stable provisioning from gum, homopteran secretions, and nonfleshy fruit.”
• Sympatric Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes troglodytes) and Gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) in Loango National Park, Gabon: Dietary Composition, Seasonality, and Intersite Comparisons (2011, background): “It could be argued that gorillas exhibit more dietary specialisations than chimpanzees, such as having digestive tracts and dentition that enable them to consistently use vegetation as a fallback food when ripe fruit is scarce (Marshall and Wrangham 2007; Marshall et al. 2009; Remis et al. 2001; Yam”
• Orangutan Energetics and the Influence of Fruit Availability in the Nonmasting Peat-swamp Forest of Sabangau, Indonesian Borneo (2010, background): “Most foods, and the large majority of important foods, (i.e., those that formed a high proportion of the diet; Marshall and Wrangham 2007), eaten before July 2005, were also available in the forest during the sample collection period and, hence, we were able to obtain samples for these items.”
