Réflexions sur les variations, dans le temps et dans l'espace, des ressources alimentaires de deux espèces sympatriques de semnopithèques by Claude Marcel Hladik, Annette Hladik

“…P. entellus lived in larger groups, moved longer distances in larger territories of 10-15 ha, and fed from more different plant species with higher average food quality The trade-off between living on lower-quality, more abundant foods, entailing diminished movement over small territories, and living on a higher diversity of higher quality foods that require moving further and defending larger territories, was discussed in terms of taste perception, based either on satiety or on immediate sensory reward. More generally, there is a continuum between species with a lower diversity of foods, generally of lower quality, occupying smaller territories, and species with more diverse diets of higher average quality, that require moving longer distances and defending bigger territories.…”
