Inter- and Intrahabitat Dietary Variability of Chacma Baboons (Papio ursinus) in South African Savannas Based on Fecal dC, dN, and %N

Baboons are dietary generalists, consuming a wide range of food items in varying proportions. It is thus difficult to quantify and explain the dietary behavior of these primates. We present stable carbon (dC) and nitrogen (dN) isotopic data, and percentage nitrogen (%N), of feces from chacma baboons (Papio ursinus) living in two savanna environments of South Africa: the mountainous Waterberg re...

Draft Whole-Genome Sequence and Annotation of Xenorhabdus griffiniae Strain BMMCB Associated with the South African Entomopathogenic Nematode Steinernema khoisanae Strain BMMCB

Xenorhabdus griffiniae strain BMMCB (LDNM00000000) belongs to the family Enterobacteriaceae and was isolated from the South African entomopathogenic nematode Steinernema khoisanae strain BMMCB (GenBank accession no. KT027382). Here, we report the draft whole-genome sequence of X. griffinae strain BMMCB with a genome size of 4,183,779 bp and 44.7% G+C content. The NCBI Prokaryotic Automatic Anno...
