Journal Article
Melin, A., Veilleux, C., Janiak, M., Hiramatsu, C., Sánchez-Solano, K., Lundeen, I., …Kawamura, S. (2022). Anatomy and dietary specialization influence sensory behaviour among sympatric primates. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 289(1981), https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2022.0847

Senses form the interface between animals and environments, and provide a window into the ecology of past and present species. However, research on sensory behaviours by wild frugivores is sparse. Here, we examine fruit assessment by three sympatric... Read More about Anatomy and dietary specialization influence sensory behaviour among sympatric primates.
