虽然灵长类动物在种子传播中的作用得到了广泛的认可,但广泛分布在亚洲和非洲热带森林中的colobines却并非如此。Colobines吃叶子、种子和水果,通常是未成熟的。2005年5月至2006年5月观察到一组长鼻猴(Colobinae,Nasalis larvatus),包括1只雄性α猴、6只雌性成年猴和几只未成年猴。共400个粪便样本的焦点组成员涵盖13个月进行了检查,超过3500小时的焦点观察数据组成员在森林沿着Menanggul河,沙巴,马来西亚。2005年11月,71个样本中只有23个发现了完整的小种子,2005年12月,38个样本中有15个发现了完整的小种子,2006年3月,21个样本中有5个发现了完整的小种子。无花果种子(全部)
Although the role of primates in seed dispersal is generally well recognized, this is not the case for colobines, which are widely distributed in Asian and African tropical forests. Colobines consume leaves, seeds and fruits, usually unripe. A group of proboscis monkeys (Colobinae, Nasalis larvatus) consisting of 1 alpha-male, 6 adult females and several immatures, was observed from May 2005 to May 2006. A total of 400 fecal samples from focal group members covering 13 months were examined, with over 3500 h of focal observation data on the group members in a forest along the Menanggul River, Sabah, Malaysia. Intact small seeds were only found in 23 of 71 samples in Nov 2005, 15 of 38 in Dec 2005 and 5 of 21 in Mar 2006. Seeds of Ficus (all
