Tropical forest and peatland conservation in Indonesia
Tropical forests and peatlands provide important ecological, climate and socio‐economic benefits from the local to the global scale. However, these ecosystems and their associated benefits are threatened by anthropogenic activities, including agricultural conversion, timber harvesting, peatland drainage and associated fire. Here, we identify key challenges, and provide potential solutions and future directions to meet forest and peatland conserva…
Entamoeba histolytica infections in wild and semi‐wild orangutans in Sumatra and Kalimantan
Key to the success of orangutan conservation management practices is the prevention of the introduction of infectious diseases to the remaining populations. Previous reports of Entamoeba spp. positive orangutans are of concern as Entamoeba spp. infection has been linked to morbidity and mortality in primates. It remains to be determined if the Entamoeba species infecting orangutans is the pathogenic Entamoeba histolytica . Orangutan fecal samples…
Gesture Use in Communication between Mothers and Offspring in Wild Orang-Utans (Pongo pygmaeus wurmbii) from the Sabangau Peat-Swamp Forest, Borneo
Research on captive and wild great apes has established that they employ large repertoires of intentional gestural signals to achieve desired goals. However, gestural research has focused on African great apes, with orang-utan data limited to a few captive studies. We address this gap by describing gesture use in wild Southwest Bornean orang-utan (Pongo pygmaeus wurmbii) mother and offspring pairs. We conducted focal follows on 16 individuals in …
The slow ape
Meat-eating by a wild Bornean orang-utan (Pongo pygmaeus)
Interactions between a wild Bornean orang-utan and a Philippine slow loris in a peat-swamp forest
Locomotor behavior of wild orangutans ( pongo pygmaeus wurmbii ) in disturbed peat swamp forest, Sabangau, Central Kalimantan, Indonesia
This study examined the locomotor behavior of wild Bornean orangutans ( P. p. wurmbii ) in an area of disturbed peat swamp forest (Sabangau Catchment, Indonesia) in relation to the height in the canopy, age‐sex class, behavior (feeding or traveling), and the number of supports used to bear body mass. Backward elimination log‐linear modeling was employed to expose the main influences on orangutan locomotion. Our results showed that the most import…
Orangutan Energetics and the Influence of Fruit Availability in the Nonmasting Peat-swamp Forest of Sabangau, Indonesian Borneo
Methods for calculating activity budgets compared
The results of comparisons of behavioral data between individuals, age–sex classes, seasons, sites and possibly even species may depend on sample size and the computational method used. To establish whether these are valid concerns, we compared results for percentage time spent feeding on major food types (fruit, leaves, flowers, invertebrates, bark, pith and other) for two orangutan populations in Sabangau (24 months) and Tuanan (29 months), Ind…
Development of independence
Among known mammals, orangutans have the longest period of dependence and exclusive association between mother and offspring before a younger sibling is born. Comparison of available data on wild Sumatran and Bornean orangutans reveals a similar development of essential survival skills up to c. 5 years of age, but among Bornean orangutans earlier complete weaning and start of independent ranging through cessation of the association between mother…
Fur-Rubbing as a Form of Self-Medication in Pongo pygmaeus
