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

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 …

Mating systems are thought to be an important determinant of dispersal strategies in most
animals, including the great apes. As the most basal taxon of all great apes, orang‐utans …

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

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 …

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

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 …

Abstract The Sumatran orang-utan (Pongo abelii) reference genome was first published in
2011, in conjunction with ten re-sequenced genomes from unrelated wild-caught …

Genetic studies of dispersal on local spatial and short temporal scales require a large
number of autosomal microsatellites. However, the study of dispersal over large spatial …

Abstract 'Orang-utan'is derived from a Malay term meaning 'man of the forest'and aptly
describes the southeast Asian great apes native to Sumatra and Borneo. The orang-utan …
