Resource partitioning of diet and habitat use was studied in the entire Amazonian ungulate community of Northeastern Peru, which comprises the red brocket deer (Mazama americana), grey brocket deer (M. gouazoubira), collared peccary (Tayassu tajacu), white-lipped peccary (T. pecari), and lowland tapir (Tapirus terrestris). Each ungulate species partitioned at least one type of resource from every other species. Digestive morphology had a greater influence on resource partitioning of diet than body size. Neither digestive morphology nor body size were related to segregation of habitats. However, species with similar diets partitioned habitats, whereas species with different diets often used the same type of forest. Increases in habitat breadth of ungulates were positively correlated with increases in dietary breadth.
对秘鲁东北部整个亚马逊有蹄类动物群落的饮食资源分配和栖息地利用情况进行了研究,该群落包括红麂(美洲马驼鹿)、灰麂(南美泽鹿)、领西貒(草原西貒)、白唇西貒(白唇野猪)和低地貘(南美貘)。每种有蹄类动物都与其他物种至少在一种资源类型上进行了分配。消化形态对饮食资源分配的影响比体型更大。消化形态和体型都与栖息地的隔离无关。然而,饮食相似的物种会对栖息地进行分配,而饮食不同的物种通常使用相同类型的森林。有蹄类动物栖息地宽度的增加与饮食宽度的增加呈正相关。
