Possible fruit protein effects on primate communities in madagascar and the neotropics. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2009
The ecological factors contributing to the evolution of tropical vertebrate communities are still poorly understood. Primate communities of the tropical Americas have fewer folivorous but more frugivorous genera than tropical regions of the Old World and

NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES: a data set on carnivore distribution in the Neotropics [PDF]

open access: yesEcology, 2020
AbstractMammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential ecological integrity in landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value and their habitat requirements can guide management and conservation plans.

Myrmecovory in Neotropical primates [PDF]

open access: yesPrimates, 2021
AbstractAnts are the dominant group of animals in many habitats, particularly in tropical rainforests. High abundance and formation of large colonies convert them into a potential food source for a broad spectrum of animals. In this paper we review myrmecovory (consumption of ants) in Neotropical primates.
