A multimethod archaeometry study (zooarchaeological, isotopic, ancient DNA,
paleobotanical, and radiocarbon dating) of a spider monkey sacrificed in the ceremonial …

Tamarins, small Neotropical primates of the genera Saguinus and Leontocebus, have a
mainly frugivorous-faunivorous diet. While consuming the pulp of a high diversity of fruit …

Several primate radiations exhibit dental adaptations that enable them to gain access to
seeds embedded in well‐protected fruit. To a database drawn from published sources in …

This report is the first installment of a monographic study of mammalian diversity and
ethnomammalogy in a sparsely inhabited rainforest region between the Yavarí and Ucayali …

The downsizing of disperser assemblages by selective defaunation is a worldwide
phenomenon thought to have important consequences in animal‐dispersed plants …

Seed dispersal is considered a key process determining spatial structure and dynamics of
plant populations, and has crucial implications for forest regeneration. We evaluated the …

The repeated use of sleeping sites by frugivorous vertebrates promotes the deposition and
aggregation of copious amounts of seeds in these sites. This spatially contagious pattern of …

The contribution of vertebrate animals to nutrient cycling has proven to be important in
various ecosystems. However, the role of large bodied primates in nutrient transport in …

• Premise of the study: Frugivore selection of fruits and treatment of seeds together with seed
deposition site are crucial for the population dynamics of vertebrate‐dispersed plants …

Background Determining the distances over which seeds are dispersed is a crucial
component for examining spatial patterns of seed dispersal and their consequences for …
