| Furthermore, fruits in the temperate zone are typically removed by frugivorous vertebrates before they become damaged or show signs of rot. |
|
| Some pigeons and doves, including tropical fruit doves, are exclusively frugivorous, fruit-eating. |
|
| Several lines of evidence suggest winter fruit may be important to less frugivorous species as well. |
|
| Toucans, toucanets, and aracaris are frugivorous birds, whose primary diet is fruit. |
|
| The chacma baboon is a frugivorous species, but leaves also constitute a major part of the diet. |
|
| All extant hominoids with the exception of highland gorillas are strongly frugivorous. |
|
| The hoolock gibbon is a frugivorous species, but will also consume immature leaves, flowers, and invertebrates. |
|
| Accordingly, the hypothesized deterrence of ethanol to frugivorous vertebrates, or specifically primates, is unsubstantiated. |
|
| Aberrant in so many ways, oilbirds are the only nocturnal, exclusively frugivorous birds. |
|
| The larger home ranges of tamarins are related to more frugivorous diets, while they do not gouge, and eat gum only when readily accessible. |
|
| The fossil record is replete with evidence supporting a plant-eating, basically frugivorous way of life for ancestral anthropoids, particularly hominoids. |
|
| Little is known, however, about either the natural occurrence of ethanol within fruits or the behavioral responses of frugivorous animals to such cues. |
|
| Mountain gorillas are more herbivorous, and 25 Lowland gorillas are more frugivorous. |
|
| Some species egest a pellet containing large amounts of plant fiber, and many frugivorous birds egest seeds that were stripped of their pulp by the gizzard. |
|
| Early in the history of the order, there evidently was a divergence into insectivorous and frugivorous lines. |
|
| Theories suggest that the clay may contain vital salts and minerals which are usually lacking in the birds' frugivorous diet. |
|
| Many frugivorous birds migrate thousands of miles every year, and the ripening of the fruits of many plant species in temperate regions appears to be timed to the peak of bird migrations in the autumn. |
|
| Although the vampire bat is known for feeding on blood, most species of bat eat insects, and many are frugivorous. |
|
| Insectivorous bats may eat over 120 percent of their body weight while frugivorous bats may eat over twice their weight. |
|
| About one-third of the 135 terrestrial bird families and one-fifth of the 107 terrestrial mammal families include some partly or wholly frugivorous species. |
|
|
|
| It also hosts an endemic mammal: the roussette, a frugivorous megabat. |
|
| Hence, many basically granivorous or frugivorous birds catch insects, especially when feeding nestlings, and many insectivorous species exploit seasonally available plant food. |
|
| Effects of moonlight on the capturability of frugivorous phyllostomid bats at different time scales. |
|
| Frugivorous vertebrates ingest fruits and the seeds within, later defecating the seeds. |
|
| Frugivorous and nectarivorous birds have lower endogenous N losses and lower N equilibrium than granivorous and omnivorous birds. |
|
| Frugivorous lowland gorillas, for example, should both prefer and be more capable of metabolizing ethanol than their more folivorous montane counterparts. |
