Primate richness and abundance is driven by both forest structure and conservation scenario in Costa Rica

Christopher Eric Johnson,
Kathryn A. Tafoya,
Peter Beck
et al.

Abstract: Variation in tropical forest management directly affects biodiversity and provisioning of ecosystem services on a global scale, thus it is necessary to compare forests under different conservation approaches such as protected areas, payments for ecosystem services programs (PES), and ecotourism, as well as forests lacking any formal conservation plan. To examine the effectiveness of specific conservation approaches, we examined differences in forest structure and tree recruitment, including canopy cover; canop… Show more

“…The role of primates in seed dispersal is well documented [6,7]. Globally, more than 380 primate species feed on fruits and disperse seeds [8,9], and they represent 25-40% of the frugivore biomass in tropical forests [10][11][12]. For example, baboons are omnivorous and opportunistic feeders with diverse dietary material, depending on the nature of the prevailing environment [13,14].…”
