Comparing the cost-effectiveness of methods for estimating population density for primates in the Amazon rainforest Peru [PDF]
, 2015 With increasingly extreme fluctuations in flood levels in the Amazon basin (Malhi et al. 2008, Marengo et al. 2012, Bodmer et al. 2014) the future of its' fauna is becoming more uncertain.

Oikos, EarlyView.As habitats change, the effectiveness of animal‐mediated seed dispersal increasingly depends on animal responses to altered structure and resources. With habitat loss and degradation accelerating across the tropics, understanding how dispersers' foraging behavior and movement influence seed removal and deposition is critical to promoting forest ...

The effect of colour vision status on the detection and selection of fruits by tamarins (Saguinus spp.) [PDF]
, 2003 The evolution of trichromatic colour vision by the majority of anthropoid primates has been linked to the efficient detection and selection of food, particularly ripe fruits among leaves in dappled light.

Belowground effects of ground‐dwelling large herbivores in forest ecosystems
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.This study reviews how ground‐dwelling large herbivores affect forest soil and litter globally. Effects are context‐dependent, vary among species and forest types, and remain poorly studied in tropical forests, highlighting critical gaps in understanding nutrient cycling and ecosystem functioning.

Frugivory and colour vision in Alouatta seniculus, a trichromatic platyrrhine monkey
Vision Research, 1998 It is a long-standing hypothesis that primate trichromacy evolved to help fruit-eating primates find fruits amongst leaves. We measured the reflectance spectra of fruits eaten by a trichromatic primate, Alouatta seniculus, in the rainforest of French Guiana, as well as those of the leaves that form the natural background to fruits.

Comparison of forest regeneration in two sites with different primate abundances in Northwestern Ecuador [PDF]
, 2016 There is increasing evidence that large-bodied primates play important roles as seed dispersers and in the maintenance of tree diversity in forest ecosystems. In this study we compared forest regeneration at two sites with differing primate abundances in
