Arthropod consumption differences between adult and juvenile woolly monkeys (Lagothrix lagotricha lugens) at Cueva de los Guácharos National Park. Amplicon Sequence Variants (ASV’s) counts for each order of arthropod eaten by adult and juvenile woolly monkeys over the study period. Regardless of age class, woolly monkeys seem to eat in general the same types of arthropods and during the same periods of time. The heatmap indicates that the most eaten and selected arthropod for adults and juveniles are Lepidopterans. Light colours indicate low availability of ASV’s while darker colours indicate a high amount of ASV’s present in the woolly monkeys’ scats. Woolly monkeys artwork was painted by the biologist and artist Angela Mejía.
