摘要: C. pogonias and wolfi plant diets were studied in two sites, Gabon Zaire compared with fruit availabilities. Monkeys found to be mainly pulp-eaters while monkeys alternately seed-eaters, aril-eaters or leaf-eaters. These differences related the availability of categories: fleshy fruits much more abundant than forests. As a result, seed-dispersers found, large extent, seed-predators. Results are discussed terms phenotypic flexibility monkey feeding behavior, diversity plant-monkey interactions, geographic variability keystone resources, their implications for forest management practices. The low species is hypothezized result from poor soil conditions.
