mycorrhizal symbiosis increase nutrient uptake and enhance plant growth by elaborating root system. the positive effects of mycorrhizal symbiosis on the growth, physiology and ecology of various plants have been recognized. the symbiotic relations between mycorrhizal fungi and date palm with regard to nutrient uptake by this plant have not yet been explored and studied in iran. this project was...

Habitat use by a C. capucinus troop was studied in an agricultural landscape during late dry season (March-April 1994) in northwest Costa Rica. Riparian forests, palm canals and living fence rows accounted for 82% of observations, significantly more than the other six habitats present. The study troop consumed 24 species of plants and five animals. Feeding concentrated on the introduced African...
