Correlates of Ranging Behavior in a Group of Red Colobus Monkeys (Colobus badius tephrosceles)

THOMAS T. STRUHSAKER
New York Zoological Society New York, New York and Rockefeller University New York, New York

Data are presented from 17 months of systematic sampling of the food habits, ranging patterns and distribution of food of a group of red colobus monkeys. No positive or negative correlations were found between the diversity of ranging patterns and the diversity of diet, distribution of food species, or percentage of young growth in the diet. There was, however, a significant correlation between the diversity of ranging pattern and the number of days per monthly sample that the group was proximal to or had aggressive encounters with another group of red colobus monkeys.
