Stable carbon isotope ratios ( 13 C) were determined for 31 plant and 16 animal species from a sand dune community on the south Texas coast. Plants and insects had similar 13 C values, forming two distinct groups, while herbivorous rodents formed a third intermediate group. This suggests that insects at the study site are specialists which feed on C 3 or C 4 plants, while the rodents are generalists, feeding on plants of both groups.
