本文报道了一组绿色猴（C.对生活在塞内加尔尼奥科卢科巴国家公园的10种（100只）成年雄鱼（100只）进行了一个完整的年周期的研究，发现了一些重要的年龄和性别差异。在年度时间预算中，未成年猴之间没有发现性别差异，但成年雌性比成年雄性花费更少的时间喂养。这种差异是由于成年雄性的代谢体型更大。有季节性差异的成年人：男性花更多的时间比女性在旱季，但不是在潮湿的季节。男性在旱季吃更多的水果和鲜花;女性在雨季吃更多的树叶。哺乳期女性喂养比非哺乳期女性少。成年人之间的差异归因于男性的上级竞争能力超过第一选择的食物（水果和鲜花）和替代的能量和营养策略的哺乳期女性在应对增加的蛋白质需求。
The diet and activity patterns of a group of green monkeys (C. sabaeus) living in the Parc National du Niokolo-Koba, Senegal, were studied over a complete annual cycle and some important age and sex differences were found. In the annual diet, no clear age-sex differences emerged for feeding on fruit, invertebrates or other (mainly foliage) foods, but adult males ate more flowers. In the annual time-budget, no sex differences were found among immature monkeys, but adult females spent less time feeding than adult males. This difference is accounted for by the greater metabolic body-size of adult males. There were seasonal differences among the adults: males spent more time feeding than females in the dry season, but not in the wet season. Males ate more fruit and flowers in the dry season; females ate more foliage in the wet season. Lactating females fed less than nonlactating females. The differences between adults are attributed to superior competitive ability by males over 1st choice foods (fruit and flowers) and to alternative energetic and nutritional strategies of lactating females in response to increased protein requirements.
