“…Sabe-se que, em florestas semi-decídua as frutas polpudas encontra-se em menor intensidade que nas florestas úmidas (MORELLATO & LEITÃO-FILHO, 1992) e esta em menor disponibilidade de alimentos, faz com que os macacos-prego procurem novas alternativas para suprir as suas necessidades fisiológicas e metabólicas (SAITO et al, 2010;PINHA, 2007;SABBATINI et al, 2006).…”

RESUMOEste estudo teve como objetivo analisar os comportamentos de macacos-pregos (Sapajus nigritus) que vivem livre no Parque Ecológico Cidade da Criança em Presidente Prudente, São Paulo. Pelo fato de que o parque recebe a visitação de grande quantidade de pessoas durante todo o ano, e assim os animais estão ficando cada vez mais habituados aos visitantes, na qual está afetando direta e indiretamente a dieta alimentar dos macacos que vivem livres e consomem cada vez mais alimentos que não fazem parte de sua dieta natural. As observações foram realizadas em um grupo de 10 macacos-prego durante a primeira semana de março á ultima semana de maio de 2011 com auxilio de registros fotográficos. Os animais, primeiramente, foram observados pelo método ad libitum, no período de sete dias, em um intervalo de oito horas, e os dados comportamentais foram coletados através da técnica animal focal nos períodos diurnos das 7:00 às 17:00, em intervalos de 5 minutos durante 40 dias. Os resultados indicam que a presença humana afeta a dieta e as atividades dos macacos-pregos, desprendendo-os de seus comportamentos naturais comparados a outros grupos vivendo em habitats sem tamanha presença humana, ficando claro que durante o período de grande presença humana comem mais alimentos humanos do que naturais. O consumo da alimentação humana pode vir alterar o caráter flexível dos animais em procurar meios alternativos de recursos, como bem a sua flexibilidade em modificar a sua dieta alimentar e seus padrões comportamentais. Concluindo-se que a alimentação pelo Parque aos macacos seja feita em maior quantidade, em períodos distintos e pontos diferentes na mata. E também participação mais ativa do parque ecológico em programas de conscientização ao não fornecimento de alimentos aos animais e não jogar restos de comidas e resíduos no chão ou qualquer outro local indevido. PALAVRAS-CHAVE:Alimentação, Primatas, Reservas biológicas.

“…Offering food to wild animals in their natural environment is a strategy widely used by tourist guides and visitors to promote a closer physical approximation to the provisioned animals. However, providing food to wild animals can have several consequences, including changes in population density, group composition, environment use, individual behavior, and impacts on reproduction and parental care (Orams, 2002;Mann and Kemps, 2003;Sabino and Andrade, 2003;Saito et al, 2010;Alves et al, 2013a;Christiansen et al, 2016;Tortato and Izzo, 2017).…”

“…Recognizing these deleterious consequences of wildlife food provisioning, many countries have prohibited it and imposed substantial fines; however, illegal food provisioning of wild animals still occurs and is a major concern for management and conservation agencies (Samuels et al, 2000;Finn et al, 2008;Christiansen et al, 2016). In Brazil, there is no specific legislation regarding the artificial feeding of wild animals and the activity is used to attract various animals, including fish (Sabino and Andrade, 2003), monkeys (Saito et al, 2010), coatis (Gazeta do Povo, 2012), alligators, giant otters, jaguars (Tortato and Izzo, 2017), and river dolphins (Alves et al, 2011;Rodrigues et al, 2019;Vidal et al, 2019). Supplying food to wild fauna is banned by the internal regulations of protected areas such as Serra dos Órgãos National Park, in Rio de Janeiro, and Iguaçu National Park, in Paraná (Vidal, 2011;Alves et al, 2013b).…”

Provisioning food to wildlife is a strategy used to habituate animals to human proximity during tourism activities, but it can contribute to changes in individual behavior and social structure and impacts on the nutritional health status. This article evaluates the presence and relationships of Amazon River dolphins (Inia geoffrensis) in feeding sessions at a floating house in Anavilhanas National Park, Brazil. The Amazon River dolphins most frequently observed during the study period also presented higher constancy in the feeding sessions. Food provisioning had a variable impact on Amazon River dolphins, making it possible to identify regular, occasional, and rare visitors. The most frequently observed Amazon River dolphins showed strong connectivity, with some individuals playing an important role in the network, acting as a bridge, connecting the set of nodes. These results provide important information about the level of conditioning and social relationships of Amazon River dolphins, which can assist in the development of strategies aimed at reducing the negative population health consequences of supplying food.

Background The aim of this work was to identify gram‐positive bacteria and their respective resistance profiles of free‐living capuchin monkeys. Methods For this, 15 Sapajus nigritus were captured in a municipal urban park in the northern region of the state of Paraná, Brazil, and under pharmacological restraint, samples were collected with sterile swabs from the oral, rectal, ocular, nasal, and auricular regions. After isolation of the 22 gram‐positive bacteria, each isolate was subjected to the catalase and coagulase tests for presumptive identification. Subsequently, phenotypic tests for bacterial resistance were performed using the agar diffusion disc method. The samples resistant to oxacillin were submitted to the PCR technique to search for the mecA gene. Results Of the 22 gram‐positive cocci of these two (9.09%) are Streptococcus spp. and twenty (90.91%) Staphylococcus spp. Among Staphylococcus spp. three (13.64%) were coagulate‐negative (CoNS) and seventeen (86.36%) coagulate‐positive (CoPS). Of the antimicrobials tested, enrofloxacin had the best performance, with only one (04.54%) isolate resistant to it, on the other hand, the antimicrobials with the lowest performance were cefotaxime and penicillin with 19 (82.36%) and 18 (81.81%) resistant isolates, respectively. Only five isolates had MAR less than 0.2, being one ocular, one oral, and three nasal, they had multiple resistance index varied between 0.07 and 0.92, with an average of 0.45 and a mode of 0.3. Among the samples with the highest resistance index, a positive coagulase Staphylococcus stood out, being intermediate to gentamicin and resistant to other antibiotics and an intermediate streptococcus to gentamicin, enrofloxacin, and resistant to other antibiotics. No sample was positive to mecA gene. Conclusions Future studies should be conducted to identify the Staphylococcus species, the high rate of antimicrobial resistance of the monkeys in this study suggests that Grooming's behavior may be contributing to the sharing of the resistant microorganism among the members of this group of primates.
