Manakins （Pipridae）是新热带森林林下最丰富的食果动物和种子传播者之一。在巴西圣保罗州南部海岸的休息森林中，我们根据对白珠蝠（Manacus Manacus）在结果植物上的觅食行为进行了为期两年的研究，从被困个体的粪便和反流物中收集种子，以及从泄漏的雄性庭院中收集种子，描述了白珠蝠的水果饮食。马纳库斯食用来自30个不同植物科的58种水果。采果高度分别为3.5±1.9 m和1.5±1.6 m，采果时主要采用扫果和采穗两种方式。果实多为浆果，直径3.1 ~ 17mm，种子1 ~ 86粒。直径达12毫米的水果被整个吞下。成熟的和未成熟的水果都被吃掉了。我们的研究结果证实了侏儒猴消耗的小果实种类繁多，并表明manacus是一个重要的种子传播者，可能有助于restinga植物的招募。
Manakins (Pipridae) are one of the most abundant fruit-eaters and seed dispersers in the understory of neotropical forests. We describe the fruit diet of the White-beaded Manakin (Manacus manacus) based on a two-year study of its foraging behavior on fruiting plants, collecting seeds from feces and regurgitations of trapped individuals, and from lekking males' courts in restinga forests at the southern coast of the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil. Manacus manacus consumed 58 species of fruits from 30 different plant families. Fruits were taken at 3.5 ± 1.9 m height and 1.5 ± 1.6 m below the forest canopy using mainly sally-strike and glean manoeuvres. Most of the fruits were berries ranging from 3.1 to 17 mm in diameter and containing from 1 to 86 seeds. Fruits up to 12 mm in diameter were swallowed whole. Ripe and unripe fruits were equally consumed. Our results corroborate with the great variety of small fruits consumed by manakin species, and indicate that M. manacus is an important seed disperser, potentially contributing to recruitment of plants in restinga.
