Abstract

Les espèces de primates font l'objet d'une grande attention de la part des scientifiques en raison de leur extrême vulnérabilité aux pressions anthropogéniques et de leur rôle essentiel en tant que disperseurs de graines pour une grande variété de plantes tropicales, contribuant ainsi à la restauration des écosystèmes naturels. Pour survivre au milieu de diverses pressions, les primates développent des stratégies d'adaptation à la recherche de nourriture qui peuvent conduire à des conflits avec les agriculteurs locaux. La réalisation d'une revue scientifique permettra d'examiner les connaissances existantes concernant la flexibilité comportementale des primates et d'évaluer l'hypothèse selon laquelle la restauration des écosystèmes est facilitée par la dispersion des graines. Les données ont été principalement collectées via la plateforme Publish or Perish en saisissant des mots-clés pertinents. Cet ensemble de données comprend plus de 1517 publications, dont 557 sont pertinentes, réalisées dans 40 pays pendant un siècle, avec un accent prédominant sur l'Afrique et la région néotropicale. Naturellement, les primates réagissent aux perturbations de l'habitat en adaptant leur régime alimentaire et en modifiant l'étendue de leur aire de répartition, tout en développant des mécanismes subtils d'évitement en présence d'une surveillance humaine. Des arguments scientifiques solides soutiennent l'hypothèse selon laquelle, au cours de leurs migrations quotidiennes, les primates dispersent une multitude de graines de tailles diverses au sein des écosystèmes et des forêts, favorisant ainsi la régénération naturelle des milieux hospitaliers. Cependant, l'efficacité de la dispersion des graines est influencée par divers facteurs affectant la dynamique de régénération des écosystèmes. Ainsi, la rétention intestinale des graines, la mastication et la composition du régime alimentaire sont des facteurs critiques qui influencent à la fois la qualité et l'efficacité de la dispersion des graines par les primates, ainsi que le potentiel germinatif des graines disséminées. Les connaissances obtenues sur la flexibilité comportementale des primates et leur rôle dans la dispersion des graines sont essentiels pour orienter les futures perspectives de recherche visant à soutenir les efforts de restauration des écosystèmes.
