“…Furthermore, in areas degraded by human activities, animals might be forced to increase their travel time, thereby decreasing their resting and social time, either in order to avoid humans or because natural food sources become scarce (red deer, Cervus elaphus: Grover & Thompson, 1986;lion-tailed macaque, Macaca silenus: Menon & Poirier, 1996;tonkean macaque, Macaca tonkeana: Riley, 2007). In contrast, other studies reveal that animals that live and thrive in an anthropogenic environment tend to spend more time resting and socializing than groups living in less anthropogenic areas (e.g., vervet monkey, Chlorocebus pygerythrus: Saj et al, 1999;Thatcher et al, 2019;Barbary macaque: El Alami et al, 2012;rhesus macaque: Jaman & Huffman, 2013; assamese macaque, Macaca assamensis: Koirala et al, 2017;long-tailed macaque: Ilham et al, 2018). Such beneficial effects may be due to reliance on anthropogenic foods that tends to be higher in calories, more abundant, and more digestible than natural foods (Forthman-Quick, 1988;Rode et al, 2006;Riley et al, 2013;McLennan & Ganzhorn, 2017), and researchers argue that in this condition animals can spend less time feeding, and consequently increase their time spent resting and/or socializing (Jaman & Huffman, 2013).…”
