Aspectos ecológicos e evolutivos da escolha dos frutos: fatores determinantes e...
Pires, Luís PauloCNPq - Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico; As interações entre frugívoros e plantas são fundamentais para a manutenção do equilíbrio ecológico dos ecossistemas. As plantas fornecem recurso alimentar para os animais que, por sua vez, atuam como dispersores das sementes. Nos ambientes tropicais, as aves se destacam como o grupo mais importante de dispersores de sementes das angiospermas...
Diversidade e frugivoria por morcegos em um remanescente de floresta semidecidu...
Pires, Luís PauloCoordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior; In tropical environments, bat species may account for over 50% of the composition of mammals‟ communities. Their importance, however, goes much beyond their contribution to biodiversity. They are also highly diverse in their ecological functions: they are vectors of important medical-veterinary diseases, reduce damage to agriculture, pollinate s...

Preferential consumption of larger fruits of Piper arboreum (Piperaceae) by Car...
Pires, Luís Paulo; Del Claro, Kleber; Uieda, WilsonFrugivorous animals may use morphological traits of food items such as size, hardness, shape, color and smell as cues that allow them to assess cost-benefit relationship of foraging activity. Fruit size is an important trait that influences feeding behavior of most frugivores, since there is a functional correlation between fruit size and frugivores' body size. Therefore, size-based preference is fundamental to...
