Pollen dispersal is a key driver of gene flow in plant populations, shaping their spatial genetic structure (SGS). In tropical forests, plant-pollinator interactions vary across vertical strata due to differences microclimate, resource availability, and foraging behavior. Bats, an important pollinator group, have been observed exhibit stratification activity, with interaction frequencies differing forest layers. Bats are highly mobile expected transport pollen over long distances, but actual...
Abstract Premise Vertical stratification is a key feature of tropical forests and plant–frugivore interactions. However, it unclear whether equally strong patterns vertical exist for plant–nectarivore interactions and, if so, which factors drive these patterns. Further, nectar‐inhabiting bacteria, acting as “hidden players” in interactions, might be vertically stratified, either response to differences among strata microenvironmental conditions or the nectarivore community serving vectors....
Neotropical ungulates favour undisturbed habitats. Forest conversion to agriculture is the main driver of contraction tropical large mammal distributions. In Amazon, although Protected Areas (PAs) effectively reduce forest loss, deforested area has been growing within their boundaries in recent decades. Here, we aimed study variations ungulate distribution inside and outside PAs Amazonian lowlands over last decade. We used data on presence, climate landscape predict species presence absence...
Sexual behavior in animals fulfills reproductive and social functions, extending beyond the traditional focus on reproduction. Same-sex sexual behavior, defined as genital contact or manipulation between individuals of same sex, occurs various primate species. In spider monkeys, grappling, a involving prolonged mutual embraces, face greeting, tail intertwining, manipulation, primarily males. Here, we report novel incidence same-sex grappling two subadult male brown-headed monkeys (Ateles...
Abstract Sakis (genus Pithecia ) are frugivorous primates with a preference for seeds that complete their diet leaves and insects. Fruit pulp known to have different nutritional characteristics change during the process of ripening. The consumption can be an adaptation changes in resource availability, as unripe more steadily available than ripe or young leaves. Here, we present first study feeding ecology monk sakis ( monachus ). We investigated dietary composition identified important...
