Short summary
The study examined how terrestrial mammals' diets vary across geography. It found that herbivory is more prevalent in cold and desert areas, while frugivory and insectivory dominate in tropical regions. Granivory dominates in temperate environments, while carnivory is more common in the Northern Hemisphere and towards the poles. Terrestrial mammals' diets show conspicuous geographical patterns across the globe, partially explained by climate.
