| primate community of the tropical rain forests of saracá-taqüera national forest, pará, brazil. | brazil is the richest country in the world in terms of primate species and the amazonian rain forest is one of the richest biomes containing 15 (ca. 90%) of the neotropical primate genera. although considered key elements in conservation strategies, there is only anecdotal information on primates for several protected areas within the region. here we present new data on the community composition of the primates in the saracá-taqüera national forest (429,600 ha), an actively mined, bauxite rich a ... | 2009 | 19967179 |
| edge effects in the primate community of the biological dynamics of forest fragments project, amazonas, brazil. | while much is known about abiotic and vegetative edge effects in tropical forests, considerably less is known about the impact of forest edges on large mammals. in this study, we examine edge effects in a primate community to determine: 1) the distance from the edge over which edge effects in primate density are detectable, 2) whether individual species exhibit edge effects in their density, and 3) whether biological characteristics can be used to predict primate presence in edge habitats. given ... | 2014 | 25130367 |
