 composed 96.2% (six taxa) of thicket tinamou stomach contents, while animal material composed 3.8% 

 (one taxon). About 96%, by percent volume, of the thicket tinamou diet consisted of fruits and seeds 

 (Figure 5-1). The single crop species zacate composed a total of < 0.0% (trace amounts), by percent 

 volume, of the stomach contents.
