Tropical forests harbour the highest levels of terrestrial biodiversity and represent some of
the most complex ecosystems on Earth, with a significant portion of this diversity above …

Vertical stratification (VS) is a widespread phenomenon in plant and animal communities in
forests and a key factor for structuring their species richness and biodiversity, particularly in …

Rates of interfragment movements were estimated for small mammals inhabiting a group of
eight Atlantic Coastal Forest fragments, surrounded by grassland matrix, in order to …

Patterns of vertical stratification and canopy utilization by rodents and marsupials were
analysed in two contiguous Atlantic forests at different altitudes (100 m and 900 m asl) …

The ability of some mammals to forage on vines or terminal branches depends upon their
gras** extremities. This study tests the functional link between use of small-diameter …

Didelphids use vertical strata in different ways, suggesting the existence of a wider variety of
niches than simply arboreal or terrestrial. This variety could be related to the differential …

The spatial patterns presented by the marsupial Micoureus demerarae were studied through
capture–mark–recapture in two small Atlantic Forest fragments (areas 7.1 and 8.8 ha). The …

In this report, the first installment of a comprehensive revision of the didelphid marsupial
genus Marmosops, we revise the species of the subgenus Sciophanes. Based on …

Since the turn of the 20th century, most anthropologists agreed on one fundamental notion:
the origin and evolution of the order Primates was closely tied with life in the trees. This view …

Tropical forests are three-dimensional spaces with species and resources heterogeneously
distributed. The vertical stratification of tropical forest biotas has been observed for several …
