Averting biodiversity collapse in tropical forest protected areas
Tropical rain forest fragmentation, howler monkeys (Alouatta palliata), and dung beetles at Los Tuxtlas, Mexico
In Neotropical rain forests, fresh mammal dung, especially that of howler monkeys, constitutes an important resource used by dung beetles as food and for oviposition and further feeding by their larvae. Tropical rain forest destruction, fragmentation, and subsequent isolation causing reductions in numbers of and the disappearance of howler monkeys may result in decreasing numbers of dung beetles, but this has not been documented. In this study, w…
Feeding and general activity patterns of a howler monkey (Alouatta palliata) troop living in a forest fragment at Los Tuxtlas, Mexico
The feeding behavior and general activity patterns of a howler monkey troop living in a 3.6 ha forest fragment were studied at Los Tuxtlas, Mexico, for an annual cycle. Monthly samples of their feeding behavior indicated that they used 52 species of 24 plant families as sources of food. Of these, 67% were trees, which accounted for 96% of total feeding time recorded. Ten species of Moraceae, Cecropiaceae, Anacrdiaceae. and Sapotaceae contributed …

Tropical rain forest fragmentation and wild populations of primates at Los Tuxtlas, Mexico
Tropical rain forest conversion and perspectives in the conservation of wild primates ( Alouatta and Ateles ) in Mexico
The original distribution of the tropical rain forest and of the populations of Alouatta palliata, Al. pigra , and the two subspecies of Ateles geoffroyi in southern Mexico have been reduced by at least 90% in the last 40 years as a result of conversion of natural habitat to pasture and agricultural fields. This dramatic conversion has been caused mainly by the rapid growth of the human population in the southern states of the country. In the reg…
Use of leaf resources by howling monkeys ( Alouatta palliata ) and leaf‐cutting ants ( Atta cephalotes ) in the tropical rain forest of Los Tuxtlas, Mexico
Use of leaf resources by a troop of howling monkeys and two colonies of leaf cutting ants was studied for an annual cycle in the rain forest of Los Tuxtlas, Mexico. Howling monkeys spent half their annual foraging time feeding on leaves; leaf‐cutting ants spent at least 80% of their recorded foraging time harvesting leaves. Both herbivores preferred young leaves over nature ones, and chemical analysis showed that the protein: fibre ratio of the l…
A preliminary study of resource overlap between howling monkeys ( Alouatta palliata ) and other arboreal mammals in the tropical rain forest of Los Tuxtlas, Mexico
Potential resource overlap between howling monkeys and other arboreal mammals was studied in the rain forest of Los Tuxtlas, Veracruz, Mexico. Eight species of mammals belonging to the orders Primates, Carnivora, Rodentia, and Marsupialia were found to share the canopy and to overlap trophically with howling monkeys. These mammals made up 77% and Alouatta 23% of the arboreal mammalian biomass under consideration. The arboreal porcupine and spider…
Some observations on the present distribution and conservation of Alouatta and Ateles in Southern Mexico
Some information on the past and present distribution of Alouatta and Ateles in southern Mexico and on the impact of habitat destruction on their future existence is presented. Three surveys of primate populations and forest habitats were carried out between 1981 and 1983 in southeastern Mexico. Rapid destruction of the forest is reducing the number of forested areas where Alouatta and Ateles can exist and co‐occur. Illegal hunting of the two pri…
Fruit eating and seed dispersal by howling monkeys ( Alouatta palliata ) in the tropical rain forest of Los Tuxtlas, Mexico
The frugivory and ranging habits of howling monkeys living in the rain forest of Los Tuxtlas, Veracruz, Mexico, were studied for 5 consecutive years with the aim of investigating the role of seed dispersal agents played by the howling monkeys. The howling monkeys' consumption of fruit occupied half of their feeding time, and 80% of this time was spent feeding on mature fruit. Observations confirmed use of 19 tree species and a preference for a fe…
Comparison of frugivory by howling monkeys ( Alouatta palliata ) and bats ( Artibeus jamaicensis ) in the tropical rain forest of Los Tuxtlas, Mexico
Information on the fruit diets of howling monkeys and fruit‐eating bats in the tropical rain forest of Los Tuxtlas, Mexico was collected for a year to compare the plant species used. Howling monkeys used 19 plant species whereas bats used 32 plant species as fruit sources. Eleven species were common in the diet of both mammals. A rank analysis at the plant species level showed that the fruit diets of Alouatta and Artibeus were very different. In …
