White-handed gibbons (Hylobates lar) alter ranging patterns in response to habitat type
Northern pigtailed macaques rely on old growth plantations to offset low fruit availability in a degraded forest fragment
Space‐use and foraging strategies are important facets to consider in regard to the ecology and conservation of primates. For this study, we documented movement, ranging, and foraging patterns of northern pigtailed macaques ( Macaca leonina ) for 14 months in a degraded habitat with old growth Acacia and Eucalyptus plantations at the Sakaerat Biosphere Reserve in northeastern Thailand. We used hidden Markov models and characteristic hull polygons…
When Northern Pigtailed Macaques (Macaca leonina) Cannot Select for Ideal Sleeping Sites in a Degraded Habitat
Slow loris density in a fragmented, disturbed dry forest, north‐east Thailand
Primate survival in disturbed forests can be governed by a complex of forest variables. For nocturnal arboreal primates, determining these ecological features is notoriously difficult but is critically important for their conservation. Here we assessed the effects of forest type, food availability, human disturbance, and forest structure on the nocturnal Bengal slow loris ( Nycticebus bengalensis ) in Sakaerat Biosphere, north‐east Thailand, a sm…
Foraging strategies underlying bird egg predation by macaques: A study using artificial nests
Bird egg predation is widespread in non-human primates. Although nest predation is often described as opportunistic, little is known about foraging strategies and nest detection in primates. Since it is the prevalent cause of nest failure in the tropics, birds select nest sites within specific microhabitats and use different nest types to increase nesting success. Identifying the nests targeted by the northern pigtailed macaques (Macaca leonina),…
Ranging and site fidelity in northern pigtailed macaques ( Macaca leonina ) over different temporal scales
Space-use patterns are crucial to understanding the ecology, evolution, and conservation of primates, but detailed ranging data are scarce for many species, especially those in Southeast Asia. Researchers studying site fidelity to either home ranges or core areas have focused mainly on territorial species, whereas less information is available for non-territorial species. We analyzed the ranging patterns and site fidelity of one wild troop of nor…

Sleeping site selection and presleep behavior in wild pigtailed macaques
Several factors are likely to control sleeping site selection and presleep behavior in nonhuman primates, including predation risk and location of food resources. We examined the effects of these factors on the sleeping behavior of northern pigtailed macaques ( Macaca leonina ). While following a troop living in the surroundings of the Visitor Center of Khao Yai National Park (Thailand), we recorded the physical characteristics and location of ea…
Density and microhabitat use of Bengal slow loris in primary forest and non‐native plantation forest
The extent of planted forests has greatly increased in the tropics, but their conservation value while assumed to be low, is largely unknown. We compared the density and microhabitat selection of a nocturnal arboreal primate, the Bengal slow loris ( Nycticebus bengalensis ), in mostly undisturbed, evergreen tropical forest to those in 15–18 year old Acacia / Leucaena plantations with significant secondary regrowth, and Bauhinia lianas, a commonly…
Selection of sleeping trees in pileated gibbons ( Hylobates pileatus )
Selection and use patterns of sleeping sites in nonhuman primates are suggested to have multiple functions, such as predation avoidance, but they might be further affected by range defense as well as foraging constraints or other factors. Here, we investigate sleeping tree selection by the male and female members of one group of pileated gibbons ( Hylobates pileatus ) at Khao Ang Rue Nai Wildlife Sanctuary, Thailand. Data were collected on 113 ni…
Sterile pyuria in a population of wild white‐handed gibbons ( Hylobates lar )
Urinalysis is an emerging method for monitoring the health and energy balance of wild primates. Here, we report the first urinalysis of wild gibbons. We used multi‐reagent test strips to monitor the health status of 52 individual white‐handed gibbons ( Hylobates lar ) inhabiting Khao Yai National Park, Thailand. Most urinary reference values were within normal ranges; however, regardless of age‐ and sex‐class or monthly fruit productivity, we fou…
Home‐range characteristics and the influence of seasonality on female reproduction in white‐handed gibbons ( Hylobates lar ) at Khao Yai National Park, Thailand
A three‐year (2001–2003) study was carried out on the home range characteristics of seven wild white‐handed gibbon ( Hylobates lar ) groups focusing on the spatio‐temporal distribution of food resources at Khao Yai National Park in northeastern Thailand. These results were combined with 23 years (1980–2003) of reproductive performance data on seven females from the same focal groups. Reproductive performance was equal among females with regard to…
