Automated detection of Hainan gibbon calls for passive acoustic monitoring [PDF]
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, 2021 Extracting species calls from passive acoustic recordings is a common preliminary step to ecological analysis. For many species, particularly those occupying noisy, acoustically variable habitats, the call extraction process continues to be largely ...

Diverse grouping and mating strategies in the Critically Endangered Hainan gibbon (Nomascus hainanus). [PDF]
Primates, 2022 AbstractUnderstanding flexibility in the social structure and mating strategies of the world’s last remaining population (35 individuals) of wild Hainan gibbons (Nomascus hainanus) is critical for developing effective management plans to aid in their population recovery. Three of the five remaining Hainan gibbon groups (A, B, and C) currently live in a
