_____, which are solitary mostly, aggregate at large patches of ripe fruits
intragroup feeding competition in small, dense patches is way higher because it can be monopolized by dominant individuals
live in extended patrilineal societies = relationships among females are weakly defined = avoids feeding competition among females
rely heavily on leaves, rapid suspensory mode of locomotion permits them to minimize travel time between widely dispersed fruit patches = resemble nonobligatory facultative folivores, but resemble frugivores more closely
can get in the way, have to break it down

disrupt metabolism inside the cells of primate's body
= carbohydrates, with nectar, providing soluble sugars
_____ stomachs of Old World colobine monkeys = opportunities for microbial action to break down leaves, but needs to maintain pH so avoids mature, sugar-rich foods
