Apes include a rather broad range of simians (higher primates) from the Old World. Generally, if it’s not a monkey, people ...

In any ecosystem where you find fruit or nectar, you are going to find ethanol. So, fruit- and nectar-eating animals (frugivores and nectarivores) likely consume it on a regular basis.

In a word, yes. Yes it does matter if just one species goes extinct because animals and plants depend upon each other, so the loss of one species affects others within that complex web of ...

For example, animals that eat primarily fruit are called frugivores, according to Encyclopedia Britannica. Fruit bats and flying foxes are examples of frugivores.

Some herbivores only can consume specific parts of plants like frugivores. Frugivores are animals that primarily eat fruit. Like Lilo, the keel-billed toucan.

The findings, published Oct. 12 in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B, indicate that a high number of plant species in today's Atlantic Forest rely on endangered frugivores -- the scientific ...

The research team studied data from more than 2,000 tree species in Brazil's Atlantic Forest, and more than 800 animal species. They found that frugivores which are not targeted by hunters ...

Called “induced seed dispersal” (ISD), the technique recruits common animals to fulfill a role played by more specialized frugivores that may have vanished from those areas.

Almost a third of Mauritius' native fruits are no longer being dispersed as no animals are big enough to swallow their seeds. This dietary dilemma is the result of 400 years of extinctions on the ...

“Animals are our greatest allies in reforestation,” says Daisy Dent, a tropical ecologist from the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior and the study’s senior author. “Our study prompts a rethink ...

The relaxed feeling you get after a cold beer or a glass of wine is down to the ethanol content of the beverage. This is a naturally occurring substance produced by the fermentation of sugars. For ...
