Abstract
ABSTRACT Stomach contents of Podocnemis unifilis sampled in white water varzea forest during the dry season in the Mamiraua Sustainable Development Reserve (Middle-Solimoes River) had plant material in 100% of cases, with Poaceae and Bombacaceae the most frequently recorded. Poaceae leaves (67.7% frequency) and seeds (21.5% frequency) were common, as were fibers of the fruit Pseudobombax munguba (Bombacaceae; 38.5% frequency), with fruits in general contributing 45.9% of volume. Animal material was consumed in much lesser quantities—only 0.8% of total volume—but had a 37% frequency.
