Abstract: Although relatively common among omnivorous primates, anurophagy is still poorly documented in frugivorous species. Here we report the predation of a giant gladiator treefrog (Boana boans) by a large arboreal frugivore, the gray woolly monkey (Lagothrix lagotricha cana). The predation event occurred in a stretch of riparian forest located in a fragmented region in Cacoal, Rondônia state, in southwestern Brazilian Amazonia. Anurans can be a profitable, non-contested, and relatively easily acquired alternative r… Show more

“…For frugivorous primates with more eclectic diets, variation in grouping patterns can be attributed to variation in the availability of their preferred fruit sources. When fruits are seasonally scarce, they can shift their diets to include less preferred resources such as leaves, flowers, arthropods, and even small vertebrates (Cavalcante et al 2019 ; Di Fiore and Campbell 2007 ; Gonzalez et al 2016 ; Peres 1994a ; Stevenson et al 1994 ). For example, a small cohesive group of 24 common woolly monkeys ( Lagothrix lagotricha ) devoted up to 84% of its feeding time to fruit and 5% to arthropods at the Caparú Biological Station, eastern Colombia (Defler, 1996 ).…”
