“…Blackand-white colobus also rely to a great extent on Pentaclethera macrophylla seeds. [99][100][101][102][103] These seeds are housed in large woody pods that require extended processing times and are accompanied by long bouts of sitting (Fig. B2).…”

“…The frequent sitting postures that characterize black-and-white colobus are therefore as much a function of highly prized and labor intensive fruits as they are related to folivory. [101][102][103][104] Most other arboreal monkeys with large frugivorous components sit less and have positional repertoires that include elevated frequencies of standing and other ''upright'' postures. Such positions facilitate rapid, efficient movement to the next feeding source.…”

“…Alouatta palliata [10]; Colobus polykomos [11]; Presbytis johnii [12]; P. melalophos and P. rubicunda [13]; C. guereza [14]; C. satanas [15]; P. entellus [16]; Gorilla gorilla beringei [17]. Only a few nutrition-oriented studies on food selection, however, especially fruit choice, in frugivorous primates such as the chimpanzees have been conducted (Pongo pygmaeus [18]; G. g. gorilla [19]).…”

“…Some authors have linked it to the need to ferment leaves for their digestion or to the quality of the habitat (Marsh 1981;Oates 1988;Korsjtens et al 2010). It has also been considered a strategy of behavioral thermoregulation for Colobus polykomos, as it may limit energy losses (Dasilva 1992(Dasilva , 1994.…”
