The production of fleshy fruits by angiosperms and their consumption by a diverse array of
vertebrates is a quintessential tropical phenomenon. Although fleshy fruits are produced by …

Our understanding of migratory birds' year‐round ecology and evolution remains patchy
despite recent fundamental advances. Periodic reviews focus future research and inform …

To help fill the gap in detailed knowledge of avian community structure in tropical forests, we
undertook a census of a 97—ha plot of floodplain forest in Amazonian Peru. The plot was …

Upper Amazonian data for tree species richness in 1-hectare plots are reported. All plants≥
10 cm diameter were censused and identified in six plots in Amazonian Peru and one on the …

Biogeographical and biodiversity studies in lowland Amazonian rain forests typically refer to

The impact of aggresive competition on food intake at all the resources used is analysed for
every member of a group of brown capuchin monkeys (Cebus apella) in the Manu National …

Native peoples have often been portrayed as natural conservationists, living in “harmony”

This chapter considers the ways phenological cycles of resource production interact with
frugivore communities in tropical forests. The birds and mammals that feed primarily on plant …

To determine the generality of avian diversity patterns, we investigated patterns of
elevational zonation shown by birds and mammals along the eastern slope of the Andes …

1. We report that interspecific territoriality is a common spacing mechanism among closely
related bird species distributed along a primary successional gradient in the meander belt of …
