AbstractUnderstanding how forest cover is related to patch attributes such as size, shape, and isolation, and how this influences the occurrence of a species in fragmented landscapes is an important question in landscape ecology and conservation biology.

It is essential to document habitat occupancy patterns and population structure to facilitate the survival of primates in areas of anthropogenic disturbance. The overlapping of the Nearctic and Neotropical regions in the Olmec region of Mexico make this area particularly important as part of a natural biological corridor that harbors a high number of ...

Tannins (TN) are polyphenolic compounds primarily known to be involved in the defense mechanism of vascular plants against herbivory. Their excessive consumption can cause damage to an animal's digestive tract; yet, with moderate consumption, tannins have several beneficial health effects that have been well studied.

AbstractThere continue to remain uncertainty concerning the nutritional importance of figs (Ficus spp.) in the primate diet. Although studies have been performed on the nutritional analysis of fig pulp and seed fractions separately, there has not been an attempt to quantify the contribution of animal matter within figs.

Recent studies suggest that the identification of interactions among keystone species in ecosystems is one of the most important aspects to be considered in conservation programs (Thompson, 1994; Howe and Miriti, 2000). We also need to evaluate how interspecific interactions are modified by habitat fragmentation and destruction (Nathan and Muller ...

ABSTRACTHowler monkeys are considered high‐quality seed dispersers; however, the changes that seeds undergo after passing through their digestive tract, which influence their germination capacity, are still unknown. In this study, we assessed whether the consumption of seeds from three species of the Moraceae family by mantled howler monkeys results in

We analysed the selection of tree species consumed by an isolated troop of Mexican howler monkeys (Alouatta palliata mexicana) released in a translocation programme on Agaltepec Island, in Catemaco Lake, Veracruz, Mexico. During November 1989–December 1996, howlers used 36 of the 63 tree species present on the island as food. Selection ratios indicated

ABSTRACTWe analyzed Ficus perforate seed removal by canopy ants under four treatments: syconia seeds; howler monkey‐defecated washed seeds; syconia seeds with howler dung; and defecated seeds with howler dung. Ants removed more defecated washed seeds in the wet season, while during the dry season, removal was greater for syconia seeds and defecated ...

Diversos fatores microclimáticos influem no êxito da germinação de sementes de Ficus estranguladores (F. perforata y F. lundelli) consumidas por macacos uivadores (Alouatta palliata mexicana) no sudeste de Veracruz, México. A germinação de sementes destas espécies foi comparada entre dois extratos arbóreos nos dois diferentes lugares de estudo ...
