In South America, classical whale back forms dominate and are scattered throughout the Guiana and Brazilian Shield up to East Bolivia. These hills rise abruptly from t

Diet and Population Densities of the Primate Community in Relation to Fruit Supplies Milton 1980, Terborgh 1986). There is considerable evidence of difficulties encountered by animals when seeking foods. Among these, food availability is known to vary between locations, seasons and years, often in an unpredictable manner (.. Sabatier 1985). Plant defences against consumers can redu

Comparative Positional Behaviour of Five Primates(Terborgh 1983, Garber 1991b, Cant 1992). Locomotion and posture seem to be the result of an interaction between the morphological features of an animal and the structure of the environment surrounding it. Most extant primates, and more specifically the New World monkeys or platyrrhines, are mainly

Didelphid marsupials are represented all over South America. In French Guiana, 8 genera and 10 species have been recorded, from the tiny mouse o

Distribution and Life Histories of Amphibians and Reptilesen exceed the biomass of other vertebrates (Vitt 1990). This makes them important predators and thus regulators of the arthropod fauna. Their high biomass provides a prey base in many habitats as well. Besides this central position in the food web of many ecosystems, amphibians and reptiles are func
