“…Also, with 18 species in the diet, two species accounted for 65% of the total diet records (ZUNINO 1987). It is known that few species in the diet is characteristic of Alouatta (ZUNINO 1987, LIMEIRA 1997, JARDIM & OLIVEIRA 2000, BRAVO & SALLENAVE 2003, MIRANDA & PASSOS 2004) and permits their survival in perturbed environments. At the same time, this low dietary diversity may be reduced even further for A. caraya, in species poor environments such as the riparian areas of the Paraná River.…”

“…Folivory is frequently described in the literature (MILTON 1980, CHAPMAN 1987, ZUNINO 1987, NEVILLE et al 1988, BONVICINO 1989, MENDES 1989, CHIARELLO 1994, BICCA-MARQUES & CALEGARO-MARQUES 1994, VALLE et al 2001, FUENTES et al 2003, AGUIAR et al 2003, BRAVO & SALLENAVE 2003, MIRANDA & PASSOS 2004 and is the pattern of the genus (MILTON 1980, BICCA-MARQUES & CALEGARO-MARQUES 1995.

ABSTRACT. Howler monkeys (Alouatta Lacèpéde, 1799) are folivores-frugivores with flexible diets depending on conditions. Here, we compare the diets of Alouatta caraya (Humboldt, 1812) in two riparian forests (island and mainland), in Porto Rico region, Upper Paraná River, Southern Brazil. Howlers were followed from October 2004 to September 2005 in the riparian forest of a 1,050 ha island and in the continuous riparian forest on the mainland (left bank of the river). The "scan sampling" method with instantaneous samples every 15 minutes was used. Besides vines, diet breadth was similar: 17 species consumed on the island versus 16 species on the mainland. Both consumed leaves followed by fruits more than any other food type (leaves: island -65%, mainland -49%, fruits: island -24%, mainland -46%). Even though the plant Cecropia pachystachya Trécul is less abundant in the mainland it was the item most consumed in both locations all year long, which suggests its importance for the howlers. Diet also varied both seasonally and between the island and mainland, apparently following changes in local abundance of each item and due to plant phenologies.

“…Isso também foi visto por outros autores em outras localidades (PASCHOAL & GALETTI 1995, BORDIGNON & MONTEIRO-FILHO 1999, o que corrobora a importância desta palmeira na dieta dos serelepes. Além disso, o jerivá é uma espécie importante não somente para os serelepes mas também para outros mamíferos frugívoros (PASSOS 1999), como por exemplo Alouatta guariba (Humboldt, 1812) (AGUIAR et al 2003, MIRANDA & PASSOS 2004, Leontopithecus chrysopygus (Mikan, 1823) (PASSOS 1999) e Cerdocyon thous (Linnaeus, 1758) (FACURE & MONTEIRO-FILHO 1996, ROCHA et al 2004.…”

Este estudo foi realizado entre fevereiro de 2002 e janeiro de 2003, em um remanescente de Floresta com Araucária, localizado no Distrito do Bugre, Município de Balsa Nova, Paraná, Brasil. O objetivo foi conhecer as espécies utilizadas na alimentação por Sciurus ingrami Thomas, 1901 no decorrer de um ano. Foram registradas dez (N = 10) espécies na dieta dos serelepes, pertencentes a sete famílias botânicas. Os serelepes predaram sementes de três espécies e se alimentaram de três espécies exóticas, mostrando adaptabilidade a ambientes alterados.

“…The social organization and behavior of the genus Alouatta can be characterized mainly by polygyny, low activity rates and high levels of folivory in most populations (Bicca-Marques 2003, Miranda & Passos 2004, Ludwig et al 2008. Alouatta caraya follows this general pattern, although there are only some ecological data available for the species, most of which were obtained from studies in the extreme south of the species geographical distribution (Rumiz et al 1986, Rumiz 1990, Bicca-Marques 1991, Agoramoorthy & Lohmann 1999, Bravo & Sallenave 2003.…”

The diet and activity patterns of a group of black howler monkeys (Alouatta caraya) were monitored on the left bank of the Aquidauana river over 11 months, from September 2008 to July 2009. The group was composed of eight individuals, two adult males, three females and three immature including subadults and infants. Quantitative data were collected using scan sampling method for 5 minutes with an interval of 15 minutes. The general activities budget (n = 6434 records) was 64.7% rest, 18.5% travel, 10.1% feeding, 4.4% for social behavior and 2.3% for miscellaneous behaviors. The level of rest was similar to patterns of genus (64.7%). The diet (n = 606 records) was composed mainly of leaves (72.8%) and flowers (14.8%) and supplemented by fruits (8.2%) and buds (4.2%). The consumption of reproductive parts of plants, especially flowers, was relatively high by the standards of southerly populations of the species. Members of the group rested significantly less than feed during the rainy season. The diet was marked by the consumption of leaves throughout the study. The consumption was higher in the dry at flowers (17.8%) and fruits in the rainy season (12.9%). It also registered a substantial difference in the behavior of adults and immature individuals, where the first rested significantly more, but spent less time in other categories: food, travel and social interactions. Given this, it's likely that the general budget was under the influence of group's composition, where there was a predominance of mature members, a typical pattern in the genus. The results indicate patterns of behavior and diet that are typical to the genus but marginal for the species. The contrasts can be related mainly to the geographic location of the area of the study, the ecotone Cerrado-Pantanal, and concomitant ecological differences. There is a clear need to continue the studies of A. caraya in the Bororo region, not only for a more systematic assessment of their ecological patterns, but also to contribute to the development of conservation strategies. Keywords: black-howler-monkeys; animal biology; behavioral ecology; activity patterns. (n = 6434 registros) foi de 64,7% para o descanso, 18,5% para o deslocamento, 10.1% para alimentação, 4,4% para o comportamento social e 2,3% para comportamentos não mutuamente exclusivos. O nível de descanso foi similar aos padrões do gênero (64,7%). A dieta (n = 606 registros) foi composta, principalmente por folhas (72,8%) e flores (14,8%) e completada por frutos (8,2%) e brotos (4,2%). O consumo de partes reprodutivas de plantas, principalmente flores, foi relativamente alto para os padrões das populações mais meridionais da espécie. Os membros do grupo descansaram significativamente mais e se alimentaram menos na estação chuvosa em relação à seca. A dieta foi marcada pelo consumo de folhas ao longo do estudo. A ingestão de flores foi significativamente maior na estação seca (17,8%) e a de frutos na chuvosa (12,9%). Foi registrada, também, uma diferença considerável no padrão comportamental d...
