A simple assay for measuring tannin‐protein precipitation capacity offers insights into the diet and food choice of black howler monkeys (Alouatta pigra)

Phenolics, like tannins, are plant‐specialized metabolites that play a protective role against herbivory. Tannins can reduce palatability and bind with proteins to reduce digestibility, acting as deterrents to feeding and impacting nutrient extraction by herbivores. Some assays measure tannin and t...
