New records of geophagy and self-anointing expand the self-medication repertoire of southern black-horned capuchins (Sapajus nigritus cucullatus)
Determinants of Daily Path Length in Alouatta guariba in a Continuous Forest
Spatial use patterns in primates result from complex interactions among individual characteristics, physical, and ecological factors, such as temperature, food availability and distribution, and conspecific and heterospecific encounters. Understanding how these factors integrate is essential for interpreting variation in species' movement patterns. In this study, we evaluated how minimum temperature, day length, diet, rest and activity time, and …
Route Planning Process by the Endangered Black Lion Tamarin in Different Environmental Contexts
Daily, primates take a variety of decisions to establish why, when, and where to move. However, little is known about the factors influencing and shaping primate daily routes. We investigated the decision‐making processes linked to route planning in four groups of black lion tamarins (BLT— Leontopithecus chrysopygus ). We studied these endangered platyrrhines within four distinct environmental contexts across their natural distribution (i.e., a c…
Stable Isotopes Analysis of Black Lion Tamarins Reveals Increasing Arthropod Consumption When Fruit Productivity Decreases in Forest Fragments
Given the cryptic and elusive nature of prey consumption, quantifying its contribution to the diet of free‐ranging primates using behavioral methods is challenging. In this context, the use of carbon and nitrogen‐stable isotopes represents a promising alternative approach. Here, we used stable isotope analysis to estimate the proportion of arthropods and fruits in the diet of black lion tamarins ( Leontopithecus chrysopygus ), an endangered prima…
Potential effects of brown howler monkey extinction on dispersal services in fragmented forests void of large dispersers
Performance of autonomous recorders to detect a cryptic and endangered primate species, the black lion‐tamarin ( Leontopithecus chrysopygus )
Information about species distribution is important for conservation but the monitoring of populations can demand a high sampling effort with traditional methods (e.g., line transects, sound playback) that are poorly efficient for cryptic primates, such as the black lion tamarin ( Leontopithecus chrysopygus ). Here we investigated the effectiveness of passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) as an alternative method to identify the presence of vocalizin…
Linking glucocorticoid variations to monthly and daily behavior in a wild endangered neotropical primate
Identifying the factors swaying physiological stress levels in wild animals can help depict how they cope with environmental and social stressors, shedding light on their feeding ecology, behavioral plasticity, and adaptability. Here, we used noninvasive methods to explore the link between glucocorticoid levels and behavior in an endangered neotropical primate facing habitat fragmentation pressure, the black lion tamarin ( Leontopithecus chrysopy…
Linking howler monkey ranging and defecation patterns to primary and secondary seed dispersal
To define the chances of a dispersed seed to produce a new recruit, it is essential to consider all stages of the dispersal process. Howler monkeys are recognized to have positive impacts on forest regeneration, acting as primary dispersers. Furthermore, dung beetles attracted to their feces protect the seeds against predators, and provide a better microenvironment for germination due to the removal of fecal matter, to seed burial, and/or by redu…
Predation of treefrogs (Anura: Hylidae) with toxic skin secretions by the black lion tamarin (Leontopithecus chrysopygus, Callitrichinae)
Integrating climate and landscape models to prioritize areas and conservation strategies for an endangered arboreal primate
Species distributions are influenced by both climate conditions and landscape structure. Here we propose an integrated analysis of climatic and landscape niche‐based models for a forest‐dependent primate, the endangered black lion tamarin ( Leontopithecus chrysopygus ). We applied both climate and landscape variables to predict the distribution of this tamarin and used this information to prioritize strategic areas more accurately. We anticipated…
Spontaneous Tool Use by a Wild Black Lion Tamarin (Leontopithecus chrysopygus)
Advances and Frontiers in Primate Seed Dispersal
Primates play important roles as seed dispersers in many tropical ecosystems, such that studies of their seed dispersal services and impacts have gained interests among primatologists and ecologists in the past few decades. In this article, we first report that the number of scientific publications on primate seed dispersal has increased rapidly over the past 20 years, based on an extensive literature review. These publications encompass diverse …
Primates and Dung Beetles: Two Dispersers Are Better than One in Secondary Forest
Seed Dispersal by Primates and Implications for the Conservation of a Biodiversity Hotspot, the Atlantic Forest of South America
Frugivory and Seed Dispersal by Northern Pigtailed Macaques (Macaca leonina), in Thailand
Reproductive failure, possible maternal infanticide, and cannibalism in wild moustached tamarins, Saguinus mystax
Effect of Resting Patterns of Tamarins (Saguinus fuscicollis and Saguinus mystax) on the Spatial Distribution of Seeds and Seedling Recruitment
The spatial distributions of dispersed seeds have important evolutionary consequences for plants. Repeated defecations in sites frequently used by seed dispersers can result in high seed concentrations. We observed the resting behavior of a mixed-species group of tamarins in Peru and recorded the occurrence of seed dispersal (over 8 mo) and seed fate (over 11-22 mo) to determine whether the location and use of resting sites influenced the spatial…
Seasonal Variation in Seed Dispersal by Tamarins Alters Seed Rain in a Secondary Rain Forest
Reduced dispersal of large seeds into degraded areas is one of the major factors limiting rain forest regeneration, as many seed dispersers capable of transporting large seeds avoid these sites with a limited forest cover. However, the small size of tamarins allows them to use small trees, and hence to disperse seeds into young secondary forests. Seasonal variations in diet and home range use might modify their contribution to forest regeneration…
