• Patch‐ and landscape‐scale effects on howler monkey distribution and abundance in rainforest fragments (2007, background): “These monkeys require trees with particular characteristics that facilitate feeding, locomotion, refuge, sleep and reproduction (Garcı́a & Braza, 1993; Stevenson, 2001; Radespiel, Eheremann & Zimmermann, 2003; MendesPontes & Soares, 2005).”
• Mechanical and Nutritional Properties of Food as Factors in Platyrrhine Dietary Adaptations (2009, background): “Food availability is influenced by seasonal variation in forest productivity, fruiting synchrony, and crop size (e.g., Stevenson 2001; Chapman et al. 2003, but see Milton et al. 2005).”
• Linking feeding ecology and population abundance: a review of food resource limitation on primates (2013, background): “However, using direct 151 measures of food abundance, such as fruit fall, significant results are found 152 (Stevenson 2001).”
• Basin‐Wide Effects of Game Harvest on Vertebrate Population Densities in Amazonian Forests: Implications for Animal‐Mediated Seed Dispersal (2007, background): “This may include the effects of soil fertility, elevation, hydrological cycles, floristic composition, total production and seasonality of edible fruit, and stand successional stage (Eisenberg 1980, Emmons 1984, Peres 1997, 1999a, Stevenson 2001, Naughton-Treves et al. 2003, Dunn 2004).”
• Priority areas for the conservation of Atlantic forest large mammals (2009, background): “…elucidate the effects of climatic variables and habitat productivity on the abundance of tropical wildlife populations (e.g. Barnes and Lahm, 1997; Stevenson, 2001), the interaction between anthropogenic disturbance and baseline environmental variables remains poorly understood, especially in…”
• Effects of Single and Recurrent Wildfires on Fruit Production and Large Vertebrate Abundance in a Central Amazonian Forest (2006, background): “As the abundance of tropical forest frugivores can be linked to fruit production (such as Chapman et al. 1999b; Balcomb et al. 2000; Stevenson 2001), fire-induced mortality of trees and lianas bearing fleshy fruits should reduce the abundance of generalist frugivores.”
• Seasonality in fruit availability affects frugivorous primate biomass and species richness (2011, background): “2006) and primates (Stevenson 2001).”
• The Influence of Large Tree Density on Howler Monkey (Alouatta palliata mexicana) Presence in Very Small Rain Forest Fragments (2007, background): “Other studies have also shown that the presence and abundance of several primate species are strongly associated with basal area and with the presence of the most important food resources (Balcomb et al. 2000, Juan et al. 2000, Stevenson 2001).”
