“…Although very few peer-reviewed reports on their natural diet exist (but see Dubost 1984), extant tragulids are commonly considered to be selective feeders with a major component of fruit and additional browse (Meijaard 2011). This is supported by a correlation of tragulid density with the abundance of fruit (Heydon & Bolloh 1997). In contrast, the fossil record of tragulids points to a diverse evolutionary history with a substantial diversification at the beginning of the Miocene or even end of the Oligocene (Geraads 2010, Sánchez et al 2010.…”

The omasum of pecoran ruminants (which is absent in tragulids) and shorter gestation periods in non-giraffid crown pecorans (as opposed to giraffids) could represent cases of key innovations that caused disparity in species diversity in extant ruminants. Literature suggests that the different ruminant groups inhabited similar niche spectra at different times, supporting the 'increased fitness' interpretation where a key innovation does not mainly open new niches, but allows more efficient use of existing ones. In this respect, we explored data on fossil species diversity of Afro-Eurasian ruminants from the Neogene and Quaternary. Tragulid and giraffid diversity first increased during the Early/Middle Miocene with subsequent declines, whereas bovid and cervid diversity increased distinctively. Our resulting narrative, combining digestive physiology, life history and the fossil record, thus provides an explanation for the sequence of diversity patterns in Old-World ruminants.

“…), are especially important for wildlife because their stands provide fruit throughout the year (Heydon & Bulloh 1997;Jordano 1983;Kinnaird et al 1999;Lambert 1989b Lambert , c, d, 1990bLambert , 1991O'Brien et al 1998a).

“…Scattered individual fi g trees per se do not provide food all year and a large enough area with suffi cient trees is needed for a yearround supply. Several studies have reported a decline in fi g densities following logging (Heydon & Bulloh 1997;Johns 1983;Lambert 1990a;Leighton & Leighton 1983), indicating that logging lowers the forest's carrying capacity for species that primarily feed on these fruits.Lianas play a signifi cant ecological role, including suppressing tree regeneration and increasing tree mortality. The role has a negative silvicultural connotation, but lianas also infl uence how trees compete with each other and thus they affect forest composition (Schnitzer & Bongers 2002).…”

“…Our analyses indicate that, generally, species with wider ecological niches, i.e., those that easily adapt to disturbed conditions or feed on many different food items, are more tolerant than those with more narrowly defi ned ecological needs. Heydon and Bulloh (1997) showed that specialised carnivores, insectivores and frugivores were affected by logging in Borneo. Lambert and Collar (2002) also found that specialised feeders appear to suffer most from logging.…”

CIFOR research produces knowledge and methods to improve the well-being of forest-dependent people and to help countries manage their forests wisely for sustainable benefi ts. This research is conducted in more than two dozen countries, in collaboration with numerous partners. Since it was founded, CIFOR has also played a central role in infl uencing global and national forestry policies.
