Amazon Jungle trip Mammals :
Amazon Jungle Trips :Comparisons with mammalian geophagy to date, no study has attempted to map mammalian geophagy at a landscape level in South America. Most studies focus on a few species at a small number of sites However, the literature suggests the patterns of mammalian of the Amazon Jungle Trips may mirror those of avian geophagy with some simple differences. In general, mammalian geophagy is apparently more common and more widespread in Amazon Jungle Trips because mammals are less restricted as to the types of sites they can use so (parrots use mostly river banks sites while mammals use river banks along with areas in the forest) of the Amazon Jungle Trips.
Mammals which remove more soil than birds may also
be more capable of excavating new sites and maintaining old sites free of vegetation. Mammals (including tapir Tapirs terrestrial, collared peccary Tayassu tajacu, red brocket deer Mazama americana, red howler monkey Alouatta seniculus, brown agouti Dasyprocta variegate, southern Amazonian red squirrel Sciurus spadiceus and capybara
Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) have been observed Feeding at several parrot clay licks in southeastern Peru In addition, recent reports on bat geophagy are in the area where parrot of the Amazon Jungle Trips is observed most, suggesting that characteristics of the soil appear to be attractive to both mammals and birds.
A review of primate Amazon Jungle Trips in South America highlights it’s occurrence in the Amazon Jungle Trips, with relatively few reports from the Brazilian Atlantic forest Spider monkey Ateles spp. in Ecuador and Peru came to
the ground more often to eat soil, rotten wood or territorial compared to four sites in Central America where sodium is higher and we would predict geophagy to be lower. The geophagy at ant heaps has been observed in the coastal species such as masked-titi monkeys Callicebus personatus and red-handed howler monkeys Alouatta belzebul. Sodium was not considered the Cause of geophagy, although in neither of these reports could geophagy considered to be regular. Moustached tamarin Saguinus mystax from Peru (Heymann and Hartmann 1991) and red howler monkey Alouatta seniculus from Colombia (Izawa 1993) have also been recorded eating soil in the western Amazon.
Sodium is the most common reason cited for geophagy worldwide, so future studies could test the hypotheses proposed here for birds,using regular geophagy by mammals.
Attempts to distinguish between causes
of ‘‘regular geophagy’’ and ‘‘incidental geophagy’’ may be enlightening. The distribution of parrot claylicks across South America has important community and conservation implications for parrot populations.
The western Amazon has until now been little impacted by anthropogenic change but now faces increasing infrastructure development with associated conservation implications, including colonisation, deforestation and forest
fragmentation. Sites in southeast Peru recording up to 20 parrot species are an anomaly in the trend of decreasing parrot species richness across South America from the northeast to southwest .
If the presence of geophagy sites aid the persistence of marginalized species in this region remains to be seen, but the impact of increased disturbance on parrot activity at riverside Amazon Jungle Trips sites needs to be investigated.
The distribution of parrot clay licks across South America lends strength to the theory that the need for sodium results in one of the western Amazon Jungle Trips ’s most interesting ornithological phenomena, yet much still needs to be understood on the factors, both human and ecological, that influence the parrot of the Amazon Jungles across
South America.
