Flexible Foraging Strategies of Hainan Gibbons (Nomascus hainanus) in Response to Food Variation Across Contrasting Habitats [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Animals exhibit different foraging strategies in environments characterized by patchily distributed resources and seasonal variation. Hainan gibbons (Nomascus hainanus) are Critically Endangered primates with a largely frugivorous diet.

A High-Resolution Map of Synteny Disruptions in Gibbon and Human Genomes [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2006
Gibbons are part of the same superfamily (Hominoidea) as humans and great apes, but their karyotype has diverged faster from the common hominoid ancestor.

Comparative study on intestinal microbiome composition and function in young and adult Hainan gibbons (Nomascus hainanus) [PDF]

PeerJ, 2022
The Hainan gibbon is one of the most endangered primates in the world, with a small population size, narrow distribution range, and high inbreeding risk, which retains the risk of species extinction.

Prenatal screening for preeclampsia: the roles of placental growth factor and pregnancy–associated plasma protein A in the first trimester and placental growth factor and soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1–placental growth factor ratio in the early second trimesterAJOG Global Reports at a Glance

AJOG Global Reports, 2023
BACKGROUND: Professional societies have recommended universal first trimester screening for preeclampsia and a second or third trimester soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1–placental growth factor ratio test to assess for preeclampsia and its severity ...

Introgression and mating patterns between white-handed gibbons (Hylobates lar) and pileated gibbons (Hylobates pileatus) in a natural hybrid zone.

PLoS ONE, 2022
Gibbons (Family Hylobatidae) are a suitable model for exploring hybridization in pair-living primates as several species form hybrid zones. In Khao Yai National Park, Thailand, white-handed gibbons (Hylobates lar) and pileated gibbons (Hylobates pileatus)

The effects of visitors and social isolation from a peer on the behavior of a mixed-species pair of captive gibbons

Scientific Reports, 2022
Human visitors affect the behavior of captive animals, which is the so-called visitor effect. The number and behavior of visitors may influence stress-related behaviors in captive animals, such as self-scratching, yawning, and visitor-directed vigilance.

Captive gibbons (Hylobatidae) use different referential cues in an object-choice task: insights into lesser ape cognition and manual laterality [PDF]

PeerJ, 2018
Background Utilization of visual referential cues by non-human primates is a subject of constant scientific interest. However, only few primate species, mostly great apes, have been studied thoroughly in that regard, rendering the understanding of ...
