Sexes: M = male, F = female. b Number of crop feeding individuals (except infants) per group, i.e., those that exploited ripe fruits of Psidium guajava, Citrus reticulate, and Diospyros kaki in each year. Fig. S1 Percentage of total feeding records devoted by brown howlers to the consumption of ripe fruits of cultivated species (bars) and their availability expressed as mean phenological index (PI; small numbers within the graph) in each fragment. PI ranges from 0 (absence of fruit) to 4 (76-100% of the crown covered by fruits). Psidium guajava (italics), Citrus reticulata (underlined), Eriobotrya japonica (normal), and Diospyros kaki (bold).
