Introduction: Frugivory, Phenology, and Rainforest Conservation
2006Species diversity on Earth is highest in the tropics, and if we are to protect as much of this diversity as possible from human-caused extinction then conserving the tropical rainforests is a top priority (Myers, 1984). In tropical rainforests much of the primary production is passed on to the second trophic level in the form of fruit pulp.

Frugivory and Seed Dispersal by Kinkajous
2001The kinkajou, Potos flavus (Carnivora, Procyonidae), is one of the most abundant and most active seed dispersers among nocturnal arboreal frugivores in Neotropical forests (Walker and Cant 1977, Bonaccorso et al. 1980, Charles-Dominique et al.

Frugivory and Polygamy in Birds of Paradise
The Auk, 1983Abstract I studied fruit-feeding by nine species of birds of paradise in Papua New Guinea from July 1978 through November 1980 and gathered 1,187 records of foraging at 31 species of trees and vines from 14 botanical families. Fruit consumed was consistently small-to moderate-sized (mean: 1 cm diameter), but fruit of different species of

Community aspects of frugivory in tropical forests
1986This chapter considers the ways phenological cycles of resource production interact with frugivore communities in tropical forests. The birds and mammals that feed primarily on plant reproductive parts (seeds and pulp) at an undisturbed Amazonian locality in southeastern Peru make up a biomass of about 1,400 kg/km2 of mammals and 160 kg/km2 of birds ...
