I gave them two types of artificial food pellets which were different in energy content per weight in 6 conditions of air temperature. Total energy intake of macaques increased as temperature decreased. Intake of low quality pellets increased significantly with decreasing temperature in 3 of 4 subjects. The other macaque, whose food intake was almost constant, decreased his body weight as ambient temperature decreased. These results suggest that energy requirements of macaques change with temperature as a result of changes in energy required for thermoregulation. Moreover, temperature influenced the selectivity of lower quality food. I discuss the pattern of food selection found in this experiment from the viewpoint of optimal foraging strategy.
