Beans with bugs: Covert carnivory and infested seed selection by the red‐nosed cuxiú monkey
Biotropica, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 579-593, May 2023., 2023 The red‐nosed cuxiu monkey specializes in eating un‐ripe seeds. Our study show they prefer those that are infested with larval insects. We believe this to be because the seeds they eat are very low in protein, while larval insects are protein‐rich and also easily digested.

People and Nature, Volume 2, Issue 4, Page 1006-1020, December 2020., 2020 Abstract The global food system is causing large‐scale environmental degradation and is a major contributor to climate change. Its low diversity and failure to produce enough fruits and vegetables is contributing to a global health crisis. The extraordinary diversity of tropical tree species is increasingly recognized to be vital to planetary health ...

Seasonal dietary niche contraction in coexisting Neotropical frugivorous bats (Stenodermatinae)
Biotropica, Volume 52, Issue 4, Page 749-757, July 2020., 2020 Abstract Tropical dry forests are characterized by punctuated seasonal precipitation patterns that drive primary production and the availability of fruits, seeds, flowers, and insects throughout the year. In environments in which the quantity and quality of food resources varies seasonally, consumers should adjust their foraging behavior to maximize ...

How Food Geometry and Toughness Influence Ingestive Patterns in Lemurs
American Journal of Primatology, Volume 88, Issue 7, July 2026.Initial bite placement is influenced by food toughness and geometry. Species‐specific feeding strategies reflect differences in masticatory morphology and functional flexibility. Lemur catta is more likely to use the postcanine tooth row; Propithecus verreauxi prefers anterior biting. ABSTRACT We investigate the extent to which food toughness, geometry,
