Food samples representing the natural diet of 4 species of New World monkeys have been analyzed. The results, integrated according to field observations, show clear differences between species, especially in the manner of balancing amino-acids composition and proportion of reducing glucids. The ‘complementary fraction’ of these diets mostly correlates feeding behavior which involves, for certain species, detection of foodstuffs spread over large home ranges, following conditioning by soluble components.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
