Bifidobacteria, which commonly inhabit the primate gut, are beneficial contributors to host
wellbeing. Anatomical differences and natural habitat allow an arrangement of primates into …

Seed dispersal is an ecological process crucial for forest regeneration and recruitment. To
date, most studies on frugivore seed dispersal have used the seed dispersal effectiveness …

The uneven representation of frugivorous mammals and birds across tropical regions–high
in the New World, low in Madagascar and intermediate in Africa and Asia–represents a long …

The distribution and availability of food was examined to see how it influenced ranging
patterns and sleeping site selection in a group of lion-tailed macaques. The home range and …

Few attempts have been made to understand how spatiotemporal changes in fruit supply
influence frugivores in tropical forests. The marked spatiotemporal variation in fruit supply …

Physical and ecological factors such as season, rainfall, food availability, number of plant
species eaten, intergroup encounters, and degree of terrestriality influence the daily path …

Fluctuations in resource availability occur in all ecosystems. To survive, species must alter
their foraging strategies according to the quantity, quality, and distribution of available food …

The genus Macaca includes medium-to large-bodied monkeys and represents one of the
most diverse primate genera, also having a very large geographic range. Nowadays, wild …

Frugivorous primates in temperate and subtropical regions often experience a shortage or
complete absence of fruits for several months of the year. We studied the foraging ecology of …

Based on the recent international studbook, we here investigate the history and
development of the global captive population of the Endangered lion-tailed macaque. Of …
