their ventrum more frequently (χ

rested nearly twice as frequently as females (χ

compared with other
Macaca fascicularis
sites in southeast Asia the general
activity budgets of the Padangtegal macaques fit well within the species nor-
mative range (

).
Dietary patterns
We examined a record of 11,761 feeding instances during the months of
June-August (1999-2001) for feeding patterns. During these months the
macaques at this site received nearly 70 percent of their diet from provisioning
(
Table 6.4
). Monitoring during other times of the year indicated that the per-
centage of provisioned food drops to ~50 percent during February-May and
October-November as the overall human traffic at the site is reduced. The tem-
ple management committee staff provisioned the three macaque groups with
