Primates play an important role in ecosystem functioning and offer critical insights into human evolution, biology, behavior, emerging infectious diseases. There are 26 primate species the Atlantic Forests of South America, 19 them endemic. We compiled a dataset 5,472 georeferenced locations native 1 introduced species, as hybrids genera Callithrix Alouatta. The includes 700 communities, 8,121 single occurrences 714 estimates population sizes, covering most natural forest types tropical...
Abstract Aim Forest fragmentation is among the principal causes of global biodiversity loss, yet how it affects mutualistic interactions between plants and animals at large spatial scale poorly understood. In particular, tropical forest regeneration depends on animal‐mediated seed dispersal, but seed‐dispersing face rapid decline due to defaunation. Here, we assess influences pairwise 407 disperser 1,424 tree species in a highly fragmented hotspot. Location Atlantic Forest, South America....
Abstract Habitat disturbance is disrupting ecological processes globally. The Atlantic Forest particularly affected by land‐use intensification and defaunation, where primates play a key role in seed dispersal. Here, we evaluate how primate assemblages the change according to landscape modification consequences on For this, used 38 state of São Paulo, Brazil. We assessed effects patch size, mean inter‐patch distance, functional connectivity matrix permeability species richness, evenness...
frugivorous animal and 1426 zoochoric tree species' occurrences. We fitted spatially explicit joint species distribution models to the occurrence data combine information on environmental covariates, life-history traits, phylogenetic correlations. To examine co-occurrence patterns of frugivores trees, we first used generate predicted communities spanning over entire biome. then calculated probability each frugivore-tree pair examined how total number interactions, as well proportion...
