Brown howler monkeys rest more on long, hot days and when feeding on leaves
The daily movements of brown howler monkeys (Alouatta guariba) in the forest are determined by an interplay of environmental, behavioral and social factors. This is one of the conclusions of a study conducted in Brazil and published in the International Journal of Primatology. The study may guide conservation efforts for the species.
