Abstract in brief
Wild primates, like humans, consume fermented fruits, but it's not very common and usually makes up a small part of their diet.
The likelihood of primates eating late-stage fermented fruits depends on environmental factors such as climate and habitat size, with more frequent consumption in larger patches with less rainfall and higher temperatures.
The study suggests that primates may use fermented fruits as an adaptive nutritional strategy, which could have played a role in the evolution of humans' preference for fermented foods.]
Katie Amato led a (very) large, international team to investigate the ecological contexts surrounding consumption of fruits in late stages of fermentation by wild primates.
It was a pleasure to be a part of this effort!

Wild primates from all major evolutionary lineages consume foods in the later stages of fermentation, although the behavior is relatively infrequent and limited to only a few species of fruits at the sites where it is recorded https://t.co/Bu7DdMFoJC https://t.co/rlrQAv4A6Y

Fermented food intake in wild nonhuman primates
— Late-stage fermented foods generally made up only 0.01%–3% of the annual diet and limited to a subset of fruit species, many of which have mechanical/chemical defenses against herbivores when not fermented

"We posit that primates capitalize on the natural fermentation of some fruits as part of a nutritional strategy to maximize periods of fruit exploitation and/or access a wider range of plant species."
Yeaaah!

Primates vs Late‐stage fermented foods intake
— Made up 0.01%–3% of annual diet, limited to a subset of fruit species, many of which have mechanical/chemical defenses vs herbivores when not fermented. Intake best predicted by climate & habitat patch size.
