Abstract Homeostatic responses of animals to environmentally induced changes in nutrient requirements provide a powerful basis for predictive ecological models, and yet, such are virtually unstudied the wild. We tested macronutrient‐specific compensatory feeding by free‐ranging golden snub‐nosed monkeys ( Rhinopithecus roxellana ) inhabiting high altitude temperate forests, where they experience substantial difference ambient temperature cold winters vs. warmer springs. The had free access...
Understanding the nutritional basis of food selection is fundamental to evaluate dietary patterns and foraging strategies in primates. This research describes phytochemical composition foods consumed by two groups Mexican black howler monkeys (Alouatta pigra) during a 15-month field study, examines how plant chemistry affected choice. Based on indices selectivity that reflected seasonal changes amount different phenophases most species their availability environment, we found that, general,...
Among mammals, the order Primates is exceptional in having a high taxonomic richness which taxa are arboreal, semiterrestrial, or terrestrial. Although habitual terrestriality pervasive among apes and African Asian monkeys (catarrhines), it largely absent of Americas (platyrrhines), as well galagos, lemurs, lorises (strepsirrhines), mostly arboreal. Numerous ecological drivers species-specific factors suggested to set conditions for an evolutionary shift from arboreality terrestriality,...
El Instituto de Investigaciones en Comportamiento Alimentario y Nutrición (IICAN) ha mantenido un compromiso constante con el estudio del comportamiento alimentario. Este segundo número especial Journal of Behavior and Feeding marca cierre los festejos por XV años CICAN – IICAN refleja la diversidad enfoques contribuciones generadas esta disciplina. En edición, se reconoce labor egresados posgrados Ciencia IICAN, quienes han ampliado conocimiento alimentario contribuido al desarrollo...
Abstract Diet quality and the presence abundance of conspecifics feeding on same food resource are critical factors that affect functional traits many animal species influence ecological processes. We hypothesized in insects whose larvae live groups varying sizes ephemeral nutritionally variable environments, extreme macronutrient content substrate is a barrier for optimal performance can be overcome by collective behaviour large numbers larvae. experimentally examined how multiple immature...
Nutritional ecology seeks to explain, in an ecological and evolutionary context, how individuals choose, acquire, process food satisfy their nutritional requirements. Historically, studies of primate feeding have focused on characterizing diets terms the botanical composition plants consumed. Further, dietary demonstrated patch choice relation time spent foraging are influenced by spatial temporal distribution resources social factors such as competition, dominance, or partner preferences....
Abstract Gut bacteria may coexist with other groups of organisms, such as nematode parasites, that inhabit the gastrointestinal tract primates; however, possible effects endoparasites on bacterial communities are frequently overlooked. Here we explored whether infection Trypanoxyuris , an oxyurid parasite, is associated changes in gut community wild black howler monkeys ( Alouatta pigra ), by comparing consistently infected individuals and never tested positive for throughout different...
Abstract We examined the germination of Ficus seeds (subgenus Urostigma ) after defecation by six primate species (New World monkeys, Old and apes). Seeds from figs (control) feces were placed in a thermostatically controlled chamber for 30 days. defecated Alouatta palliata , A. pigra Cercopithecus aethiops showed significantly higher rates than control seeds. In addition, germinated faster C. Pan troglodytes . These differences may be due to different digestive characteristics species. Zoo...
This paper describes preliminary results on the temporal organisation of foraging behaviour in limpet Patella caerulea North Adriatic Sea. Limpet activity was monitored field using radio telemetry during three continuous 15-day recording periods spring, summer and winter. The showed greater immersion or when splashed by waves compared to emersion a general prevalence for daylight night-time. Activity patterns varied between study periods, indicating that individuals used different tidal diel...
Fibropapillomatosis (FP) is a neoplastic disease affecting marine turtles around the tropics. Juvenile green sea (Chelonia mydas) seem to be most affected by cutaneous tumors, which are not malignant but depending on their number, size, and location, can hamper survival. FP prevalence in has increased over past few decades areas such as Espírito Santo (Brazil) Texas (USA), Mexico instances have been documented date. Here we report 12.2% free-ranging captured during 2017–2018 Veracruz Reef...
Animals living in anthropogenically disturbed habitats are exposed to environmental stressors which can trigger physiological reactions, such as chronic elevations of glucocorticoid hormones. Physiological responses may induce changes the gut microbiome, most likely, facilitated by gut–brain communication. Although these effects have been observed humans and animal models, elucidating bacterial wild animals under natural stressful conditions is still an ongoing task. Here we analyzed...
The corn leafhopper, Dalbulus maidis (Delong and Wolcott) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), is asignificant pest of maize (Zea mays L.) across the Americas, particularly noted for its role intransmitting various phytopathogens. Although direct damage from sap ingestion isminimal, economic impact these pathogens has been severe, resulting in substantialyield losses. Despite pest’s agricultural importance, little research focused on itsolfactory selection potential influence volatile cues host plants...
El Festejo por el XV Aniversario de la fundación del Centro Investigaciones en Comportamiento Alimentario y Nutrición (CICAN) Universidad Guadalajara, actualmente Instituto (IICAN), motivó generación este volumen especial. objetivo es conmemorar arduo trabajo investigación que han realizado durante los últimos 15 años investigadores(as) alumnos(as), quienes, convencidos involucrarse estudio Alimentario, básica aplicada esta área conocimiento. Estamos seguras que, con paso tiempo, lograremos...
A new version of a technique, based on telemetric devices, to monitor temporal aspects the activity homing species limpets and parallel recording sea level oscillations is described. The home/away status individual was continually assessed by means magnetic reed switch. Signals from sensors were transmitted distant automatic scanner/receiver, located away shoreline. system can be easily replicated employed for extensive long-lasting monitoring in field, even those cases where previous...
