Is Markhamia lutea's abundance determined by animal foraging?
Understanding the determinants of tropical forest tree richness and spatial distribution is a central goal of forest ecology; however, the role of herbivorous mammals has received little attention. Here we explore the potential for red colobus monkeys (Procolobus rufomitratus) to influence the abundance of Markhamia lutea trees in a tropical forest by feeding extensively on the tree's flowers, ...

متن کاملEstimating animal abundance by distance sampling techniques
Reliable and repeatable methods for estimating animal abundance are fundamental to the effective study and management of New Zealand species. New Zealand scientists and conservation managers currently rely on measures of conspicuousness rather than density for indexing the sizes of many New Zealand animal populations. Distance sampling offers a group of methods which estimate the absolute densi...
متن کاملPositive or Negative MARE-Dependent Transcriptional Regulation Is Determined by the Abundance of Small Maf Proteins
The small Maf transcription factor proteins bind to Maf Recognition Elements (MAREs) by dimerizing with CNC proteins or themselves. We undertook experiments to clarify the functional relationship between the small Mafs and their partners in vivo. Embryos expressing abundant transgene-derived MafK died of severe anemia, while lines expressing lower levels of small Maf lived to adulthood. Megakar...
متن کاملHome range size of Tengmalm’s owl during breeding in Central Europe is determined by prey abundance
Animal home ranges typically characterized by their size, shape and a given time interval can be affected by many different biotic and abiotic factors. However, despite the fact that many studies have addressed home ranges, our knowledge of the factors influencing the size of area occupied by different animals is, in many cases, still quite poor, especially among raptors. Using radio-telemetry ...
