Seed dispersal, the movement of seeds away from parent plants, is vital for plant population dynamics and habitat colonization. In tropical forests, most plants rely on frugivorous animals for dispersal via endozoochory, where animals consume fruits and defecate viable seeds at favorable microsites. The dispersal patterns of frugivores depend on...

Forest regeneration and seed dispersal are essential ecological processes for maintaining biodiversity, ecosystem stability, and carbon sequestration. However, these processes are being threatened by agricultural expansion and defaunation. As a first step toward understanding the importance of animal seed dispersers in forest regeneration, this project aims to assess the diversity...

What mechanism drives primate foraging decisions in their natural environments? How do these decisions influence the outcomes of the vital ecosystem services they provide? Our research group is interested in addressing such fundamental questions, contributing to elucidating the ecological and evolutionary aspects of primate behavior and crafting conservation solutions for...
