We also examined the potential effect of these food transfers on ...

   May 21, 2024 · In addition, except for Aotus lemurinus, there is little evidence of seed predation in owl monkeys, and thus (implicitly) for sclerocarpic harvesting. This chapter also makes clear that opportunistic and anecdotal observations on feeding in owl monkeys are valuable, albeit not ideal.
