Thus <jats:italic>L. f. rufus<\/jats:italic> is a dietary specialist (3 plant species accounting for 80\u201390% of feeding time), and is highly folivorous, especially during the dry season (90% of feeding time spent eating leaves during the dry season, and 53% during the wet season). On the other hand, <jats:italic>L. f. mayottensis<\/jats:italic> is more generalized dietarily (the parts of 12 plant species accounting for 90% of feeding time), and is primarily frugivorous (64% of feeding time spent eating fruit, with a monthly maximum during the wet season of 79%.
