“…A large part of the species range is in peat swamp, an extremely threatened ecosystem [Prentice and Parish, 1991;Rieley et al, 1997;Harrison et al, 2007Harrison et al, , 2011Miettinen et al, 2012]. The subfamily Colobinae consists of predominantly leaf-eating primates [Chivers and Hladik, 1980;Oates et al, 1980;Kool, 1986;Duc et al, 2009;Matsuda et al, 2009] and has evolved gastro-intestinal adaptations to exploit this abundant resource [Bauchop and Martucci, 1968;Chivers, 1994]. A multi-chambered stomach containing a microbe suspension in the foregut, plus a capacious stomach chamber and elongated caecum simultaneously neutralize toxins and effectively break down plant wall cellulose, facilitating digestion of the high quantities of fibre, protein and vitamins generally contained within leaves and other less digestible foods [Bauchop and Martucci, 1968;Kay et al, 1976;Chivers, 1994;Kay and Davies, 1994;Tsuji et al, 2013].…”
