Dominance relationships imply consistent asymmetries in social relationships. Socioecological models predict that resource distribution determines the mode of competition that animals will face and, ultimately, the nature of their social relationships. Here, we provide the first systematic investigation of dominance style in white-nosed coatis (Nasua narica). Coatis live in cohesive female-resident groups, and have a diet based on clumped (fruits) and dispersed (insects) food items, which are predicted to favour despotic and egalitarian social styles, respectively. Our results revealed moderate linearity and steepness in dominance relationships over time, with variations attributed to stages of reproductive season, rather than presumed variations in food resources. Primary social bonds and coalitions were found to mediate dominance rank. Overall, our results suggest some similarities between coatis and despotic-tolerant primate species, at least under particular ecological circumstances, and we discuss their potential for affording a deeper understanding on the sources of variation in mammal social systems.

“…A dichotomic seasonal (transition between rainy and dry seasons) pattern differentiated by precipitation, has been observed in tropical regions for various groups of insects (Kishimoto-Yamada & Itioka, 2015; Novais et al, 2016) and for different families of beetles in the TDF (Toledo-Hernández et al, 2015; Macedo-Reis et al, 2016; Corona-López et al, 2017; Novais et al, 2018b). For the Cerambycidae communities, this pattern has been recognized in the TDF of different regions of Mexico (Noguera et al, 2002; Noguera et al, 2007; Noguera et al, 2009; Noguera et al, 2012; Toledo et al, 2002).…”

“…In Mexico, studies on TDF have shown seasonal changes in the composition and structure of different insect communities (De la Maza, 2010; Zaragoza-Caballero et al, 2010). For example, in the case of the TDF located in the south of the state Morelos (central Mexico), studies show that the composition, abundance and species richness of several insect communities change between the dry and rainy seasons (Noguera et al, 2002; Zaragoza-Caballero, 2003; Rodríguez & Woolley, 2005; Ávalos, 2007; Corona-López et al, 2013; Toledo-Hernández et al., 2015; Corona-López et al, 2017).…”

Global climate change is expected to affect temperature and precipitation patterns worldwide, which in turn is likely to affect insect phenology, distribution and diversity. To improve our understanding of such processes, it is important to understand how insects may respond to changes in seasonality, and how these affect their activity, patterns of distribution and species richness. The tropical dry forest (TDF) is a highly seasonal ecosystem, for which two seasons are commonly described (rainy and dry) and there is a lack of information on the combined effect of both precipitation and temperature on the insect communities. In order to evaluate the seasonal patterns in the community of Cerambycidae in a TDF, historical climatic variables were obtained, and an annual sampling of the family was carried out, using three collection techniques. We found that the Cerambycidae family showed a more complex response to climate, than simply the rainy and dry season of the year. The relationship between diversity and composition of cerambycids with changes in temperature and precipitation showed four seasonal communities which were synchronized with phenological processes of the TDF. Climate change could reduce biodiversity, causing seasonal patterns to lose complexity, either because the climatic characteristics of a season disappear and/or because the duration of a season expands, these changes will modify the ecological processes of the TDF, since they would generate changes in the flora and fauna associated with the different seasons.

“…Insect diversity varies according to plant phenological patterns, and insect richness is high in the TDF during the rainy season (Toledo‐Hernández et al . 2015; Martínez‐Hernández et al . 2019, Ramos‐Robles et al ., 2020).…”

1. Ants are the dominant insects in tropical forest canopies. The α and β diversities of ants change in response to forest disturbance. Understanding the response of ants to forest disturbance will help to guide ant conservation and forest management plans, especially in endangered ecosystems such as the tropical dry forest. 2. We analysed ant α and β diversities in 15 fragments (5 mature, 5 disturbed, and 5 secondary) of a tropical dry forest in central Mexico. We identified and measured all of the trees in two transects (10 × 50 m) established within each fragment. Pit‐fall traps were used to sample ants in all of the trees. 3. We identified 52 ant species (from a total of 11,524 individuals). The mature forest presented the greatest quantity of exclusive species and the highest α diversity. Ant composition differed among the mature forest but not between disturbed and secondary forest, and was related to tree size and richness. The β diversity was lower in the disturbed forest, reflecting the cost of biotic homogenization (15%). Among the β diversity components in all three forest types, this diversity was mainly influenced by turnover, while nestedness diminished in the disturbed forest. 4. In the tropical dry forest studied, anthropogenic disturbance homogenises the ant community, probably because the availability of resources is also homogenised, decreasing the α diversities of the canopy ants. Our results show the importance of the conservation of mature forests in terms of maintaining the diversity of canopy ants.
