Plant species exploited for live and decayed wood by spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi) in continuous forest and forest fragments in the Lacandona rainforest, Mexico.

Species are listed by order of importance in the diet.aOnly trees with ≥10 cm in diameter at breast height were considered (see further details in Chaves et al [24]). Although dead standing trees were not observed during the vegetation samplings, our observations through the home ranges of each monkey group indicated that their density was ca. 0.03 trunks/10,000 m2 in both habitat types.bIndex of preference. See Methods.Plant growth form (GF) and average percentage of total feeding time (%TFT). The %TFT for the three study sites is indicated in parenthesis.
