摘要：
A comparison between forest structure and use of forest by Brachyteles at Fazenda Montes Claros and Fazenda Esmeralda in Minas Gerais, Brazil indicated differences in the proportion of large trees available at the two sites. However, despite these differences in forest structure, Brachyteles at both sites showed similar preferences for feeding in trees greater than 25 cm in DBH. The results of this study suggest that forest structure, as well as forest species composition, must be evaluated before initiating efforts to translocate threatened populations of this endangered primate.
