Fig 4

Starch concentrations for leaf (panel a) and culm (panel b) of bamboo species Phyllostachys (P.) aurea (AR), P. aureosulcata (AU), P. glauca (GL), and P. nuda (NU). Samples were collected once per month over a period of 18–27 mo. Data are expressed as a percentage of dry matter (DM). The shaded area represents the time when captive giant pandas consumed primarily culm.
