It appears the animals are using the tree’s sap as a medicine Kaisin works for the University of Liège in Belgium He also works in partnership with São Paulo State University in Rio Claro his team thought the tamarins were marking their territory — applying their scent to warn other animals away they realized the monkeys were doing something different “The whole group was rubbing simultaneously on the trunk,” says Kaisin where we saw there was resin.” Resin is another word for sap — that sticky smelly goop that sometimes exudes from cracks in tree bark When the researchers returned to the rural home where they were spending the night Kaisin told the family there about the tamarins’ behavior at the tree The tree’s scent had been extremely pungent Its smell “reminds me of honey,” says Felipe Bufalo “The first moment I smelled it,” he recalls the older woman in the household identified the tree as the cabreúva She told the researchers that local Brazilians and Indigenous people use it both for perfume and medicine “may be using the tree for some type of treatment or self-medication.” they set up motion-activated cameras on some cabreúva trees Scientists refer to these as camera “traps.” “When an animal is going to pass in front of the camera…[it will] start running and record a video,” explains Kaisin Seven additional species visited cabreúvas to rub against the resin the coati (a mammal related to raccoons) and brocket deer The big surprise: So did the tayra (a type of big weasel) the northern tamandua (an anteater) and the neotropical fruit bat No scientist had observed this type of rubbing behavior before in those last four species Scientists knew that tamarins sometimes used plants to doctor themselves “Discovering such [new] things in mammals — which are extremely well-studied — is really interesting,” Kaisin says His team shared its new findings in the May issue of Biotropica Animals’ use of plants or other materials to combat diseases or parasites has a special name It’s a long one: zoopharmacognosy (ZOH-uh-far-muh-COG-nuh-see) we might speed up our own drug-discovery,” says Mark Hunter He used to work at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor Most mammals host parasites, and nearly all the time, he says. Many chemicals in plants can combat those parasites Studying animals that self-medicate could help identify better ways to protect wildlife to safeguard the health of endangered animals Hunter says society needs to also protect the medicinal plants in their environment “The cabreúva is an example of how the conservation of forests agile: Able to move quickly (and pivot as needed) with skill and little apparent effort Sometimes the term is applied to thinking and project management as well as to athletic pursuits It separates Europe and Africa to the east from North and South America to the west Atlantic Forest: A diverse South American rainforest it too is home to unique species of plants and animals The huge Atlantic Forest runs down the eastern coast of Brazil Then it continues inland into Argentina and Paraguay bat: A type of winged mammal comprising more than 1,400 separate species — or one in every four known species of mammal camera trap: A still or video camera set to activate when motion is detected The device is often used to monitor wildlife chemical: A substance formed from two or more atoms that unite (bond) in a fixed proportion and structure water is a chemical made when two hydrogen atoms bond to one oxygen atom Chemical also can be an adjective to describe properties of materials that are the result of various reactions between different compounds conservation: The act of preserving or protecting something The focus of this work can range from art objects to endangered species and other aspects of the natural environment COVID-19: A name given to the disease that erupted into a massive global pandemic in 2020 It first emerged in 2019 and is caused by a new coronavirus known as SARS-CoV-2 feeling too tired to walk more than a few steps ecologist: A scientist who works in a branch of biology that deals with the relations of organisms to one another and to their physical surroundings endangered: An adjective used to describe species at risk of going extinct environment: The sum of all of the things that exist around some organism or the process and the condition those things create Environment may refer to the weather and ecosystem in which some animal lives the temperature and humidity (or even the placement of things in the vicinity of an item of interest) family: A taxonomic group consisting of at least one genus of organisms fungi: (sing: fungus) Organisms with one or more cells that reproduce via spores and feed on living or decaying organic matter host: (v.)
