To conserve species it is essential to understand which factors determine their distribution
and density. Here we focus on the critically endangered Sumatran orang-utan and examine …

Genetic variability among populations of orangutans from Borneo and Sumatra was
assessed using seven SSR loci. Most SSR loci were highly polymorphic and their allele …

Orangutans (genus Pongo) are the largest arboreal mammals, but Bornean orangutans (P.
pygmaeus spp.) also spend time on the ground. Here, we investigate ground use among …

Female orangutans exhibit natal philopatry, living in stable home ranges that overlap with
those of their maternal relatives. Using data collected from 2003 to 2017 at Tuanan in …

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 …

The extent and geographic patterns of molecular genetic diversity of the largest remaining
free-ranging cheetah population were described in a survey of 313 individuals from …

A survey of the density and population size of Bornean orang-utan (Pongo pygmaeus) was
carried out in 1995 and 1996 in an area of peat swamp forest in the Sungai (River) …

Domesticated animals that revert to a wild state can become invasive and significantly
impact native biodiversity. Although dogs can be problematic locally, only the A ustralasian …

Studies focusing on geographical genetic patterns of commensal species and on human
history complement each other and provide proxies to trace common colonization events …

Abstract Background The lemurs of Madagascar provide an excellent mammalian radiation
to explore mechanisms and processes favouring species diversity and evolution. Species …
