Fenologia de espécies arbóreas do dossel e Sub-dossel em um fragmento de mata Atlântica semi-decídua em Caratinga, Minas Gerais, Brasil (2007)
Thesis

The great diversity of plant species in tropical rainforests translates into a great variety of phenological patterns. These patterns are affected by several biotic and abiotic factors. Plant species in different functional groups and dispersion synd...

Forrageamento de alouatta guariba clamitans cabrera, 1940 (primates, atelidae) em áreas fragmentadas da Mata Atlântica: influência de metabólitos secundários de plantas e da florística e estrutura das comunidades arbóreas (2007)
Thesis

The foraging and behavioral activity patterns of Alouatta guariba clamitans (brown howlers) were studied in two semideciduous patches of the Atlantic forest. The main goal of this study was to examine how disturbed forest patches may be influencing d...

Many arboreal primates descend to the ground, a custom that may occur more frequently in disturbed habitats, and in the presence of researchers to whom the primates are habituated. In this paper, we describe opportunistic observations of ground use i... Read More about Ground use by northern muriquis (Brachyteles hypoxanthus).
