Abstract

Rates of CO 2 production in free—living and captive howler monkeys were measured using doubly labeled water, and assimilation of energy from natural foods was determined. Results permit construction of a field energy budget, and estimation of the feeding rate of these arboreal, plant—eating primates. Field metabolic rates averaged 355 kJ kg—1 day—1 (°2 x basal metabolic rate). Assimilation of the energy in a fruit and leaf diet was °40%. Feeding rate in the field is estimated to be °54 g dry matter kg— day—1, or °90 kg dry matter ha—1 yr—1.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The PAL of adult orangutans (mean 1.7) is comparable to observed PAL of humans in physically demanding agricultural lifestyles (mean PAL, 1.9 for males; 1.7 for females) and wild howler monkeys (PAL, 2.0), and well above estimated PAL for wild orangutans (PAL, 1.4).

    “This is comparable to the observed PAL of humans in physically demanding agricultural lifestyles (mean PAL, 1.9 for males; 1.7 for females) (24) and wild howler monkeys (PAL, 2.0) (25), and well above estimated PAL for wild orangutans (PAL, 1.4) (12).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
