Vertebrate responses to fruit production in Amazonian flooded and unflooded forests (2007, methodology): “We then followed Develey and Peres (2000) in calculating a monthly index of fruit availability based on the sum of the basal area (BA) of all fruiting trees found in any given month times their fruit abundance scores (as a proportion of four: 0.0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 or 1.0) as in R (BA · F/4).”
Linking plant phenology to conservation biology (2016, background): “1c) according to their nutritional content, morphology and colour (Camargo et al., 2013; Develey and Peres, 2000; Herrera, 2009), with consequences for their conservation and management (Kannan and James, 1999).”
DO FRUGIVORES RESPOND TO FRUIT HARVEST? AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF SHORT‐TERM RESPONSES (2003, background): “…studies represents a general pattern, then fruit abundance may explain frugivore abundance and behavior in foraging flocks (Chapman et al. 1989, Develey and Peres 2000), in individual fruiting trees (Howe and Vande Kerckhove 1980), within and among habitats (Levey 1988, Loiselle and Blake…”
VARIATION IN THE DIET OF THE BROWN-NOSED COATI (NASUA NASUA) IN SOUTHEASTERN BRAZIL (2004, background): “As these arthropods become less available during the dry season (Develey and Peres 2000; Levings and Windsor 1982; Lister and Garcia 1992), species that fruit in this period must be of great importance to the subsistence of coati populations.”
Seasonality of insects in the semi-arid Caatinga of northeastern Brazil (2010, background): “Both rainfall and substrate humidity exert a strong influence on insect assemblages in various Neotropical ecosystems (Davies 1945; Janzen 1973; Wolda 1978; Levings & Windsor 1984; Develey & Peres 2000; Hernández 2007).”
Abiotic and vertebrate seed dispersal in the Brazilian Atlantic forest: implications for forest regeneration (2002, background): “…fruits of Melastomataceae, Rubiaceae, Flacourtiaceae and Myrsinaceae are usually consumed by small passerines such as manakins and tangaras (Pipra, Tachyphonus, Thraupis; Moermond and Denslow, 1985; Stiles and Rosselli, 1993; Sick, 1997, Loiselle and Blake, 1999; Develey and Peres, 2000).”
Mixed-species flocks: an example of niche construction? (2011, background): “…scarce or dispersed (Morse 1970;Croxall 1976; Gram 1998; Maldonado-Coelho & Marini 2003); mixed-species foraging flocks are typical in winter in high latitude wooded habitats, and usually in the dry season in the tropics (Morse 1970; Croxall 1976; Earlé 1983; Poulsen 1996; Develey & Peres 2000).”
Mixed-species bird flocks from Brazilian Atlantic forest: the effects of forest fragmentation and seasonality on their size, richness and stability (2004, background): “Seasonal effects in flock richness and size may also be related to lack of nesting duties during the dry (non-reproductive) season, which liberates birds to participate in flocks for longer periods (Powell, 1979; Develey and Peres, 2000).”
