Many mammals (including non-human primates) bark-strip trees in forest plantations. Black-horned capuchin monkeys (Sapajus nigritus) bark-strip pines to consume their phloem, which may lead to the death of the damaged trees. Using ecological predictive models, we designed a sampling procedure to evaluate pine consumption by capuchins in the Atlantic Forest of Misiones, Argentina, and the factors associated with its occurrence. The application of these models may help to develop integrated management strategies for forest plantations, providing a tool for productive planning and, in turn, the conservation of a primate species categorized as vulnerable at national level.
