dc.description.abstractThe study supports the notion that a large gut capacity is an important characteristic by which herbivores survive on a high fibre diet, and that this large gut capacity may not be necessary for some species if there are seasonal peaks in fruit availability. The research collates literature on diet and compares tripartite and quadripartite species, focusing on Colobine monkeys and the praesaccus chamber where a commensal microbiome digests plant cell walls and possibly detoxifies defensive plant chemicals. Colobine monkeys are known for the anatomical complexity of their stomachs, making them distinct within the primate order.en
