Parasitism of trees by marmosets (Primates: Callitrichidae) enhance tree turnover
Abstract
We tested if gouging by Callithrix jacchus affects tree survival. The proportion of dead gouged trees in forest fragments was higher than the proportion of dead non-gouged trees, with larger effect on smaller trees. The number of holes did not affect tree survival. Parasitism of trees by marmosets may enhance forest turnover.
