摘要
动物与植物的相互作用无处不在，对热带生态系统的功能至关重要。新热带啮齿动物发挥着种子传播和捕食等关键生态系统功能，但关于它们之间的生态相互作用的信息却很少。在这里，我们报道了哥斯达黎加中部加勒比地区Sumichrast 's Vesper Rat, Nyctomys sumichrasti和植物Jacaratia spinosa之间的相互作用。观察到啮齿动物以这些植物的果肉和种子为食。这样的自然历史观察对于了解鲜为人知的新热带啮齿动物的摄食联系至关重要。
Frugivory and Seed predation of Jacaratia spinosa (Caricaceae) by Sumichrast’s Vesper Rat, Nyctomys sumichrasti (Rodentia: Cricetidae)
Animal-plant interactions are ubiquitous and critical for tropical ecosystem functioning. Neotropical rodents perform key ecosystem functions such as seed dispersal and predation, however few information is available regarding their ecological interactions. Here, we reported the interaction between the Sumichrast’s Vesper Rat, Nyctomys sumichrasti, and the plant Jacaratia spinosa in the Central Caribbean of Costa Rica. Rodents were observed feeding on the flesh and seeds of the plants. Natural history observations such as this are critical to the knowledge on the feeding links of poorly known Neotropical rodents.
