These factors also affect the types of plants and animals that can live in this area.

    Four factors that limit the primate’s diet is plant defense, the reproduction status of a female, seasonality, and competition. Plants can use physical barriers to stop animals from eating them. For example, some plants will use thorns others will use certain substances that make digestion difficult, resulting in small quantity conception. Female primates who are pregnant require more calories, meaning they need to obtain more food. If they are lactating they require 50% more calories compared to when they are not breastfeeding or pregnant, according to the online lecture of Primate Ecology. Seasonality proves as a challenge due to food sources becoming scarce. Depending on their location primates may look at small sources that have calories that will help their dietary needs. Lastly, competition will occur when there is a small supply of food primates will compete. Once they begin to compete for the primate who cannot defend itself might not be able to obtain any food.…

There's no sense in growing branches below the canopy wherever there's very little light. the majority of the trees have smooth, skinny bark as a result of there's no need to shield the them from water loss and freezing temperatures. It also makes it tough for epiphytes and plant parasites to urge a hold on the trunks. The bark of various species is therefore similar that it's tough to spot a tree by its bark. several trees will only be known by their flowers.

Tropical Rainforests can be found in South and Central America, Africa, Oceania (the islands around Australia), and Asia (15).Tropical rainforests cover only about 7% of the Earth's surface (13, )All Tropical Rainforests have similar characteristics including climate, precipitation, etc. They are located in a band around the equator. However, not every tropical rainforest can claim exact characteristics when compared by region. Many may blend with adjoining mangrove forests, moist forests, mountain forests, or tropical deciduous forests (13). Sunlight is a major limiting factor. A variety of strategies have been successful in the struggle to reach light or to adapt to the low intensity of light beneath the canopy (14).…
