Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.Estimated amount of each scat type consumed by Texas tortoises (Gopherus berlandieri) during 48‐h feeding trials expressed as area under the cumulative‐consumption curve (AUC; ±95% CI). Coprophagy is prevalent in Texas tortoises, and tortoises selectively choose feces along a compatibility‐risk gradient, which is evolutionarily meaningful.
