White-eared titi of 11.5 hours, 2.7 hours of which is spent feeding. Titi monkeys sleep on branches at least above the ground. In the same manner as resting during the day, titi monkeys huddle together and twine tails to sleep. Though there is little published research on the diet of the white-eared titi, titi monkeys in general are omnivores that eat fruit, leaves, insects, and seeds. They mostly eat leaves, especially protein-rich young leaves and leaf buds, so a significant period of the day is spent resting to digest the cellulose. They consume more than 100 different species of plants and fruit.
Collared titi is found west of the Río Purús to the Yavarí River. The collared titi is seen most frequently in well-developed, tall forest with a closed canopy, usually over terra firme, but not exclusively so. The species also enters extensive várzea forest, especially if the forest is tall and well-developed. Such várzea forest contrasts with the habitat needs of the coppery titi, which also uses várzea forest and more commonly so. But the coppery titi survives in low, vine-covered, "poor" forest where the collared titi is rarely found. It is also known from some gallery forest, north of the Vichada River,
