Recovery of Logged Tropical Montane Rainforests as Potential Habitats for Hainan Gibbon [PDF]
Forests, 2021 As the world’s rarest ape, the main threat facing Hainan gibbon (Nomascus hainanus) is habitat degradation and loss caused by human disturbances. The insufficient area and continuous human disturbance in most of the existing habitats can hardly maintain the future recovery and development of the gibbon population.

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

Detection of a New Hainan Gibbon (Nomascus hainanus) Group Using Acoustic Call Playback [PDF]
International Journal of Primatology, 2016 Targeted management actions informed by robust data are needed to conserve species of extreme rarity, and assessing the effectiveness of different field methods for detection and monitoring of such species is a conservation priority. Gibbons are typically detected by their daily song through passive listening surveys, but lone gibbon individuals and ...

Diversity and distribution of food plants: Implications for conservation of the critically endangered Hainan gibbon [PDF]
Nature Conservation, 2018 An understanding of the diversity and distribution patterns of Hainan gibbon (Nomascus hainanus) foods is essential to its conservation. We used data from plots in various successional stages and Pinus merkusii plantations (PF) of Bawangling National ...

Habitat restoration is the greatest challenge for population recovery of Hainan gibbons (Nomascus hainanus) [PDF]
Integrative Zoology, 2022 AbstractHainan gibbons are among the world's most critically endangered primates, with a remaining population of only 35 individuals distributed across 5 social groups in the Bawangling Branch of the Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park, China.

“Juggling” Behavior in Wild Hainan Gibbons, a New Finding in Nonhuman Primates [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2016 AbstractMany species of primates use tools and manipulate objects. Environmental objects, such as sticks and branches, are used in locomotion, display, conflict, nesting and foraging. This study presents observations regarding endangered male Hainan gibbons (Nomascus hainanus) selecting sticks and then throwing and catching them repeatedly. This act of

Spatiotemporal requirements of the Hainan gibbon: Does home range constrain recovery of the world's rarest ape? [PDF]
American Journal of Primatology, 2016 Conservation management requires an evidence‐based approach, as uninformed decisions can signify the difference between species recovery and loss. The Hainan gibbon, the world's rarest ape, reportedly exploits the largest home range of any gibbon species, with these apparently large spatial requirements potentially limiting population recovery. However,
