The use of camera ‐trap methods, though important, has pitfalls and inconsistencies such as factors and interactions that may influence species photo rates. Jaguar (Panthera onca)c a m e r a‐trap studies place cameras at ...

Predators are often more sensitive to habitat size than their prey and frequently occur in only the largest habitats. Four explanations have been proposed for this pat- tern: (a) Small habitats do not have enough energy ...

Genomic screening of fecal DNA provides insight into diet, parasite infection dynamics, and other aspects of the ecology and pathogens of wild populations. Here, we amplify and sequence the V4/V5 regions of the eukaryotic ...

Understanding diet selectivity is a longstanding goal in primate ecology. Deciphering when and why primates consume different resources can provide insights into their nutritional ecology as well as adaptations to food ...

Introduction: The North Pacific of Costa Rica is a very dynamic region in oceanographic terms and has been identified as an important site for coral environments, with abundant coral communities and some of the most developed ...

Introduction: Climate change and other multiple stressors have globally caused the collapse of many coral reefs. Understanding how coral reefs have responded to previous disturbances is key to identify possible trajectories ...

Objectives: Reproductive seasonality is typically associated with ecological factors, but it can also be related to social factors, such as alpha male replacements (AMR). Such events can produce distinct birth peaks outside ...

Evidence for paternal kin recognition and paternally biased behaviors is mixed among primates. We investigate whether infant handling behaviors exhibit paternal kin biases in wild white‐faced capuchins monkeys (Cebus ...

Ultra-intense femtosecond X-ray pulses from X-ray lasers permit structural studies on single particles and biomolecules without crystals. We present a large data set on inherently heterogeneous, polyhedral carboxysome ...

Objectives: Infanticide in white-faced capuchins (Cebus capucinus imitator) typically occurs in association with alpha male replacements (AMRs). Although infanticide is likely adaptive for males, it imposes costs on females ...
