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).</p>
