Effects of Seed Dispersal by Three Ateline Monkey Species on Seed Germination at Tinigua National Park, Colombia (2002, background): “Ateline monkeys are very effective dispersers in terms of the quantity of seeds dispersed (Chapman, 1989, 1995; Julliot, 1996; Stevenson, 2000).”
Impact of Forest Fragmentation on Understory Plant Species Richness in Amazonia (2003, background): “For example, primates are important primary seed-dispersal agents for trees (Rylands & Keuroghlian 1988; Julliot 1994, 1996; Chapman 1995; W. Spironello, unpublished data).”
Potential Effects of Ateline Extinction and Forest Fragmentation on Plant Diversity and Composition in the Western Orinoco Basin, Colombia (2008, background): “Local extinction of animal dispersers is another effect of fragmentation, which can affect the natural patterns of regeneration (Chapman 1995).”
Seed dispersal patterns produced by white‐faced monkeys: implications for the dispersal limitation of neotropical tree species (2003, background): “1991; Chapman 1995).”
Seed dispersal by spider monkeys and its importance in the maintenance of neotropical rain-forest diversity (2006, background): “…of spider monkeys decline, the ecological role that these primates play in dispersing seeds is likely to be altered (Chapman 1995, Lambert & Chapman 2005, Peres & van Roosmalen 2002), especially if other seed dispersers are not able to compensate for their lost ecological services (Peres &…”
Feeding ecology and seed dispersal of sympatric cheirogaleid lemurs (Microcebus murinus, Cheirogaleus medius, Cheirogaleus major) in the littoral rainforest of south‐east Madagascar (2007, background): “Primates represent a major group of mammalian seed dispersers in the tropics (Terborgh, 1983, 1986; GautierHion, Gautier & Maisels, 1993; Wrangham, Chapman & Chapman, 1994; Chapman, 1995; Julliot, 1996).”
Are Primates Ecosystem Engineers? (2012, background): “Primates comprise between 25 % and 40 % of the frugivore biomass in tropical forests (Chapman 1995), eat large quantities of fruit, and defecate or spit large numbers of viable seeds (Lambert 1997; Stevenson 2011; Wrangham et al. 1994).”
What hope for African primate diversity (2006, background): “Primates are an integral part of the forest ecosystem: they comprise between 25 and 40% of the frugivore biomass in tropical forests (Chapman, 1995) and as seed dispersers and pollinators they play an important role in plant dynamics.”
Variation in the Diets of Cercopithecus Species: Differences within Forests, among Forests, and across Species (2004, background): “…may have led to the evolution of fruits that meet the dietary needs of particular frugivores (Howe and Smallwood, 1982; Gautier-Hion et al., 1985; Chapman, 1995), and because of this mutualistic relationship one might expect a less variable relationship between frugivorous consumers and their…”
