The results of a nine-month-long investigation of the feeding ecology of a troop of howler monkeys that have lived for the past 25 years in a 12-ha cacao plantation in the lowlands of Tabasco, Mexico. Given the right conditions of management and protection, shaded arboreal plantations in fragmented landscapes can sustain segments of howler monkey populations for many decades.
