Table 2 Basic movement statistics and ecological characteristics of 46 animals from four frugivorous species studied. Weight is an average of adult animals caught during this study. N is number of individuals. Home range size and average distance moved per individual is plotted in Additional file 1: Fig. S1. Daily distance move is the average across all animal-days, individual averages are reported in Additional file 1: Table S3

  1. #Two animals were repeated in the two field seasons
  2. *Spider monkeys live in fission-fusion societies with flexible sub-grouping. The total population size on the island is estimated at 52, the range of observed group sizes during study period was 1-37
