Abstract
Abstract We inferred the diet and habitat preferences of three individuals of the dwarf pronghorn Capromeryx mexicana from Cedral, Mexico, using stable isotope analysis and the mesowear method. Both approaches showed that the individuals were C3/C4 mixed feeders which inhabited open forest. These results differ from previous hypotheses that suggested this species only fed on grasses and lived in grasslands.
