		Subfamily Colobinae or colobus monkeys, leaf-monkeys, and relatives
		The most striking specialization of the subfamily Colobinae is the complex stomach, which is divided into pockets, or chambers (sacculations), and banded by two longitudinal muscular strips.
		The subfamily Colobinae is very widespread; you find them in Africa, as the fl and white monkeys, all over India as Hanuman langurs and in South-east Asia as leaf eating monkeys and those wonderful droopy nosed proboscis monkeys in Borneo.

		Despite their wide geographic distribution, the Old World monkeys are a relatively similar group and are classified as the superfamily Cercopithecoidea, whose members are referred to as cercopithecoids.
		One of the chief characteristics of the subfamily Cercopithecinae is the cheek pouches, which are lacking in the members of the subfamily Colobinae.
		The most striking specialization of the subfamily Colobinae is the complex stomach, which is divided into pockets, or chambers (sacculations), and banded by two longitudinal muscular strips.

		Colobinae is a subfamily of the Old World monkey family that includes 58 species in 9 genera, including the skunk-like fl-and-white colobus, the large-nosed Proboscis Monkey, and the gray langurs, sacred to India.
		Some classifications split the colobine monkeys into two tribes, while others split them into three groups.

		The Colobinae have unusually long intestines that increase the absorption of nutrients.
		The Colobinae are herbivorous and have sacculated stomachs as well as elongated intestines that efficiently process leaves high in difficult to digest cellulose.
		During the mid 17th century, French colonists brought vervet monkeys from West Africa as pets to the Caribbean Islands of St. Kitts and Nevis.

		Languren gehören zu den asiatischen Schlankaffen, die zusammen mit den afrikanischen Stummelaffen die Unterfamilie Colobinae, neben den Cercopithecinae die zweite rezente Gruppe der Cercopithecoidea, bilden.
		Neben dem generellen Anliegen, den Wissensstand zur Biologie asiatischer Colobinae zu erweitern, bestand das Hauptziel der Studie darin, anhand der erhobenen verhaltensökologischen Basisdaten einen innerartlichen Vergleich vorzunehmen und damit den Einfluß ökologischer Faktoren sowie die An-passungsfähigkeit der Spezies an verschiedene Lebensräume besser zu verstehen.
		Neben der generellen Problematik eines hohen Fruchtanteils und der damit verbundenen Auswirkungen auf das empfindliche Vormagensystem der Colobinae werden verschiedene Ansätze zur Erklärung dieser Differenz diskutiert.

		Within the Colobinae, the living African colobids are further represented by 3 genera, Colobus or fl and white colobus, Piliocolobus or red colobus and Procolobus or olive colobus.
		The new SIVs obtained from 2 different genera in the Colobinae subfamily were more closely related to each other than to the other SIVs and were not at all related to the SIVcol strain obtained from a mantled guereza (C.guereza) from Cameroon.
		The 3 African genera from the Colobinae subfamily thus are naturally infected with SIV at relatively high prevalences.

		Partial molecular characterization of two simian immunodeficiency viruses (SIV) from African colobids: SIVwrc from Western red colobus (Piliocolobus badius) and SIVolc from olive colobus (Procolobus verus).
		In order to study primate lentivirus evolution in the Colobinae subfamily, in which only one simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) has been described to date, we screened additional species from the three different genera of African colobus monkeys for SIV infection.
		Three digestion trials were conducted to quantify aspects of digestive physiology in the Yunnan snub-nosed monkey Rhinopithecus bieti, a foregut fermenter that feeds primarily on lichens.

	Hanuman langurs
		The Asian langurs belong to the family Cercopithecidae and subfamily Colobinae, or leaf-eating monkeys.
		(The other major group in the subfamily colobinae are the African colobus monkeys, which share similar diets but are found only in Africa.) The best known Asian leaf-eating monkey species is probably the Hanuman Langur, considered sacred by the Hindus of India.
		Because they are considered sacred there, they are found even near urban areas in northern India.
