F I G U R E 3 in The nutritional importance of invertebrates to female Cebus capucinus imitator in a highly seasonal tropical dry forest

F I G U R E 3 Mean contribution of fruit and invertebrates to the (a) estimated daily energy intake and (b) protein intake per body weight per day. The dotted red line indicates monthly estimated (a) energy intake based on the estimated 1,000 kJ/day and (b) protein requirements based on the 1.8 g/kg/day. The dotted black line represents the estimated requirements for lactating females, which are estimated to require 1.5 times more (a) energy and (b) protein than cycling females. Minimum energetic and protein requirements are often not met by consuming fruit alone but are when invertebrates are included, particularly for lactating females. Although data are presented to reflect a calendar year, data were collected in three separate periods between 2009 and 2011
