Nutritional composition of the diet of the gorilla (Gorilla beringei): a comparison between two montane habitats (2007, background): “…separated areas, and on spatial and temporal scales within the same area has been documented for many taxa, including primates (Chapman et al. 2002a, b; Hill & Dunbar 2002, Russo et al. 2005), and gorillas specifically (Doran & McNeilage 1998, Ganas et al. 2004, McNeilage 2001, Rogers et al. 2004).”
Terrestrial Behavior of Ateles spp (2005, background): “Spider monkeys are one of the largest of the New World monkeys, with an average body mass of 7–8.5 kg (Coehlo et al., 1976; Karesh et al., 1998) and are ripe fruit specialists (Klein and Klein, 1977; van Roosemalen, 1985; Symington, 1987; Chapman, 1988; Russo et al., 2005).”
Potential Effects of Ateline Extinction and Forest Fragmentation on Plant Diversity and Composition in the Western Orinoco Basin, Colombia (2008, background): “In some neotropical forests, large primates play important roles as seed dispersers for canopy plant species (Andresen 1999; Dew 2002; Russo et al. 2005; Stevenson 2000, 2002).”
Use of Mineral Licks by White-Bellied Spider Monkeys (Ateles belzebuth) and Red Howler Monkeys (Alouatta seniculus) in Eastern Ecuador (2010, background): “Ateles belzebuth is one of the most frugivorous primates, with fruit comprising up to 87% of the items ingested (Dew 2005; Russo et al. 2005); leaves made up ca. 9% of the diet in Yasuní (Dew 2005).”
Mammal defaunation as surrogate of trophic cascades in a biodiversity hotspot (2013, background): “Ateline primates (a subfamily represented by four genera – Ateles, Brachyteles, Lagothryx, and Oreonax) are responsible for the dispersal of one-quarter to fifty percent of Neotropical forests seeds, most of them large seeds (Stevenson, 2000; Dew, 2005; Russo et al., 2005; Link and Fiore, 2006; Mart”
Diet and Feeding Ecology of Ateles chamek in a Bolivian Semihumid Forest: The Importance of Ficus as a Staple Food Resource (2008, unknown): “Virola produce lipid-rich fruit that feature prominently in diets of Ateles spp. (Dew 2005; Russo et al. 2005; Stevenson et al. 2000; van Roosmalen 1985).”
Mechanical and Nutritional Properties of Food as Factors in Platyrrhine Dietary Adaptations (2009, background): “Third, the relatively low apparent protein value for Ateles is a reflection of the balance of intake that is weighted heavily toward ripe fruit.”
