In tropical forest, there are many types of food for primates but their availability is not always predictable. We followed 6 species of primates in the wild in 3 countries, Uganda, Ghana, and Mexico, to see if the way they move through the forest change when the food items availability changes also. We found that behavior is flexible and primates modify the way they search for food according to the spatial and temporal distribution of food.
