Cebus capucinus (Linnaeus, 1758) and Alouatta palliata (Gray, 1849), I saw this two species of primates eating fruits of Spondias mombin L. in Santa Rosa Park from Costa Rica. There is a good interaction plant-animal, plant provide food for the monkeys and monkeys help in seed dispersal to this plant.
