Crops listed are those recorded eaten at ≥25% of sites.
Banana fruit- and pith-eating, and maize fruit- and pith-eating, were not distinguished because part(s) eaten was not specified in some reports. For these crops the number of site records for each specified part is shown in Table 1.
Percentage ranges indicate the % sites at which each crop was confirmed eaten (lower value) and recorded eaten (confirmed and unconfirmed combined: higher value).
