We examined mitochondrial DNA control region sequences of 73 Kinabatangan orang‐
utans to test the hypothesis that the phylogeographical structure of the Bornean orang‐utan …

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 …

Bonobos are large, highly mobile primates living in the relatively undisturbed, contiguous
forest south of the Congo River. Accordingly, gene flow among populations is assumed to be …

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 …

We investigated the genetic structure within and among Bornean orang‐utans (Pongo
pygmaeus) in forest fragments of the Lower Kinabatangan flood plain in Sabah, Malaysia …

Sundaland, a tropical hotspot of biodiversity comprising Borneo and Sumatra among other
islands, the Malay Peninsula, and a shallow sea, has been subject to dramatic …

Tanzania is located at the southeastern end of the eastern chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes
schweinfurthii) distribution. Except for two national parks, their habitats have been degraded …

Abstract Knowledge regarding dispersal patterns in great apes may help in understanding
the evolution of dispersal patterns and social grouping in early hominoids, as well as in our …

Bonobos (Pan paniscus) inhabit regions south of the Congo River including all areas
between its southerly tributaries. To investigate the genetic diversity and evolutionary …

A multitude of factors influence how natural populations are genetically structured, including
dispersal barriers, inhomogeneous habitats, and social organization. Such population …
