Does foraging impact tropical forest composition?

2021
<p>Growing evidence suggests that low-intensity anthropogenic activities affect ecological communities. The resultant changes in the forest structure and composition can also be influenced by elevational gradients. During foraging for food collection, humans can cover a wider spatially and elevational range compared to other high ...

Thermal constraints on foraging of tropical canopy ants

Oecologia, 2017
Small cursorial ectotherms risk overheating when foraging in the tropical forest canopy, where the surfaces of unshaded tree branches commonly exceed 50 °C. We quantified the heating and subsequent cooling rates of 11 common canopy ant species from Panama and tested the hypothesis that ant workers stop foraging at temperatures consistent with the ...

FORAGE CONSERVATION IN THE TROPICS*

Grass and Forage Science, 1969
Under arid tropical conditions the natural grazing provides less than maintenance requirements for 8–9 months of the year. Conservation of natural or sown herbage, either as hay or silage, should be discouraged because of the low nutritive value of the product, and the unfavourable weather usually prevailing during conservation.

Ant foraging activity in tropical agro-ecosystems

Agro-Ecosystems, 1980
Abstract The potential role of ants as biological control agents has been investigated in Mexican tropical agro-ecosystems. Ant predation is compared among plots planted in corn, bean, squash polycultures; bean and corn monocultures; and fallow fields.

Arboreal substrates influence foraging in tropical ants

Ecological Entomology, 2010
1. Physically complex substrates impart significant costs on cursorial central‐place foragers in terms of time spent outside the nest and total distance travelled. Ants foraging in trees navigate varied surfaces to access patchy resources, thus providing an appropriate model system for examining interactions between foraging efficiency and substrates.

Tropical forage trees with potential defaunating capacity

Proceedings of the British Society of Animal Science, 2005
Rumen protozoa population is reduced when ruminant are feed with foliage from some tropical trees an effect attributed to both saponins (Diazet al., 1992) and tannins (Odenyoet al., 1997a). As PEG binds to tannins, it has been used to reduce its deleterious effect in animals feed tanniferous trees (Makkaret al., 1998).
