Examplesofgibbongibbon This was used to determine the potential for gibbons to disperse seeds throughout their home range. From theCambridge English Corpus In this study, we estimated dispersal distances and deposition sites of seeds swallowed by twogibbongroups, using gut transit times and daily ranging patterns. From theCambridge English Corpus Both groups visited all 0.25-ha quadrats within their home range over the study period, indicating that gibbons potentially disperse seeds throughout their home range. From theCambridge English Corpus All scats andgibbonfeeding trees were mapped. From theCambridge English Corpus There are several aspects ofgibbonbehaviour that may influence seed deposition in both positive and negative ways. From theCambridge English Corpus Our aim was to determine how three aspects ofgibbonbehaviour (revisitation of fruiting plants, daily and monthly ranging behaviour) influenced the final location of dispersed seeds. From theCambridge English Corpus The location of sleeping trees, fruit trees fed on by the gibbons, collected scats, and the extent of home ranges were plotted on maps of the study site. From theCambridge English Corpus Minimum gut retention times were recorded for 13 seed species, for which the first recorded feeding bout was on the third day ofgibbonfollows. From theCambridge English Corpus Behavioural patterns had relatively little influence on seed deposition by gibbons in the two studied groups. From theCambridge English Corpus Once an effect of group, source visitation, time or month was ascertained we also investigated aspects ofgibbonfeeding and ranging behaviour that may explain the effect. From theCambridge English Corpus Hence, we used gut retention times observed for the twogibbongroups and movement patterns to predict where seeds swallowed in each feeding bout would eventually be deposited. From theCambridge English Corpus Intragroup and intergroup social interactions in white-handed gibbons. From theCambridge English Corpus Gibbon's massive work, first published between 1776 and 1788, needs no introduction. From theCambridge English Corpus Thegibbon-generated seed shadow was profoundly altered by post-dispersal events and variation in the characteristics of the shadow had little lasting impact on the probability of seeds germinating. From theCambridge English Corpus Actual dispersal distances (from parent tree to deposition site) were usually impossible to measure due to the simultaneous use of multiple individuals of each food species by the gibbons.
