Discussion

Observational analysis examines arboreal mammal movement patterns on canopy walkways, suggesting habitat preferences.

Arboreal mammals displayed peak activity on canopy walkways, primarily between 1900 and 2100 h.
The study recorded diverse species, with Linnaeus’s two-toed sloth and long-tailed porcupine being the most common.
Mid-canopy layers were the most utilized, indicating a preference over higher and lower layers.
Findings may aid in designing arboreal corridors to connect forest fragments for conservation.

Santiago et al. (2025) studied this question.
