| During a nine month field study, we assess the ability of spider (Ateles geoffroyi) and howler (Alouatta pigra) monkeys to cross a large Mesoamerican river, and if this behavior is related to deforestation and/or human population size on the disturbed riverbank. The study was conducted along the Lacantún River, southern Mexico, which .divides the Montes Azules Biosphere Reserve and the Marqués de Comillas disturbed region. We collected data on river crossings by both monkey species from 428 hours of surveys along the river and 58 questionnaires completed by knowledgeable local informants. Furthermore, we determined the frequency of river crossing by the two species, location and direction of river-crossing, bank-to-bank river width at the location of... |

| ABSTRACT In order to identify the role played by plant species as a food source in the fruit election of dispersing agents (Alouatta pigra Lawrence 1933, Atelesgeoffroyi Kuhl 1820 and frugivorous bats), we developed a study in dry tropical forests in Yucatan, Mexico. We recorded the fruits consumed by frugivorous bats using collectors and, for monkeys, we implemented the focal animal method. The number of fruits consumed by primates (A. pigra and A. geoffroyi) and bats were recorded, 342 and 386, respectively. It was determined that bats deposited fruits with some percentage of pulp, while monkeys contributed more with a fruits without pulp (pairwise LSD contrast p < 0.05). Among the variety of fruit species in the diet of primates, we detected that A.... |
