This paper examines orangutan population history and evolution through a meta-analysis of
seven loci collected from both Sumatran and Bornean orangutans. Within orangutans, most …

Ducrocq 1999; Bacon and Long 2001), wild orangutan populations are today found only in
Northern Sumatra and Borneo. These two islands are isolated from each other by the South …

To gain insights into evolutionary forces that have shaped the history of Bornean and
Sumatran populations of orang-utans, we compare patterns of variation across more than 11 …

In order to define evolutionarily significant and management units (ESUs and MUs) among
subpopulations of Sumatran (Pongo pygmaeus abelii) and Bornean (P. p. pygmaeus) …

Abstract The Southeast Asian Sunda archipelago harbors a rich biodiversity with a
substantial proportion of endemic species. The evolutionary history of these species has …

Background Orang-utans exist today in small isolated populations on the islands of Borneo
(subspecies Pongo pygmaeus pygmaeus) and Sumatra (subspecies P. p. abelii). Although …

Microsatellites and mitochondrial DNA sequences were studied for the two subspecies of
orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus), which are located in Borneo (P. p. pygmaeus) and Sumatra …

Six extant species of non-human great apes are currently recognized: Sumatran and
Bornean orangutans, eastern and western gorillas, and chimpanzees and bonobos [1] …

Mitochondrial DNA control region sequences of orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus) from six
different populations on the island of Borneo were determined and analyzed for evidence of …

Recently, Xu and Arnason (1996) proposed that the orangutan of Borneo and Sumatra be
assigned separate species status. The proposed taxonomic change is based on comparison …
