Data for: Interspecific interactions between gray woolly monkeys (Lagothrix lagotricha cana) and nine syntopic primate species

Assemblage structure and acquisition of high-value resources will usually be affected by changes in resource availability and differential competitive abilities of assemblage members. In fragmented habitats where carrying capacity limits are exceeded due to high population densities and biomass, interspecific interactions can be expected to occur at a high frequency, potentially turning into an important cost for coexistence. We studied assemblage- and guild-level patterns of interspecific interactions in two highly diverse isolated primate assemblages in southern Amazonia. Specifically, we assessed the effects of temporal variation in fruit availability on the rates of interspecific interactions between gray woolly monkeys (Lagothrix lagotricha cana), one of the largest tree-dwelling mammals of the Amazon forests, and nine syntopic primate species. This dataset includes the rates of interactions at the guild-level and assemblage-level, as well as the rates of interactions with each ind..., ,

群落（assemblage）结构与高价值资源的获取，通常会受到资源可获得性变化以及群落成员竞争能力差异的影响。在因种群密度与生物量过高而超出环境容纳量（carrying capacity）的破碎化栖息地中，种间相互作用（interspecific interactions）的发生频率往往较高，有可能演变为物种共存的重要代价。我们对亚马孙南部两个高度多样且孤立的灵长类群落的种间相互作用的群落层级与功能群（guild）层级模式展开了研究。具体而言，我们评估了果实可获得性的时间波动对灰绒毛猴（Lagothrix lagotricha cana）——亚马孙森林中体型最大的树栖哺乳动物之一——与9种同域分布灵长类物种之间的种间相互作用频率的影响。本数据集包含功能群层级与群落层级的相互作用频率，以及与各单个个体的相互作用频率……
