Decomposition Dynamics of an Orangutan (<i>Pongo pygmaeus morio</i>) Carcass in a Tropical Forest: Implications for Conservation Practices. [PDF]
We documented the complete decomposition process of a wild Bornean orangutan carcass in a lowland dipterocarp forest in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo. This represents the first detailed observation of great ape decomposition in Borneo. Our study provides a rare insight into the often‐overlooked process of carcass breakdown and decomposition in tropical ...
