Recovery of the Critically Endangered Hainan gibbonNomascus hainanus [PDF]

Oryx, 2015
AbstractThe Critically Endangered Hainan gibbonNomascus hainanusis one of the most threatened primate species and is now found only in the Bawangling National Nature Reserve of Hainan Province, China. We describe changes in population dynamics, and the current number of individuals, based on historical sources and fieldwork during 2002–2013.

Recent Recovery of the World’s Rarest Primate Is Not Directly Linked to Increasing Habitat Quality

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Due to habitat loss and hunting, the Hainan gibbon (Nomascus hainanus), the world’s rarest primate, was reduced to only two social groups and seven known individuals in 1978.

Commercial drones can provide accurate and effective monitoring of the world's rarest primate

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, 2023
The recently established Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park has designated the Hainan gibbon (Nomascus hainanus) as its flagship species, providing new hope for recovery of the last surviving population of the world's rarest primate.

Nest Site Selection and Nesting Behavior of Reeves' Turtle (<i>Mauremys reevesii</i>) in Qichun County, Hubei Province, China. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study investigates the nest site selection and nesting behavior of Reeves' turtles (Mauremys reevesii) in Qichun County, China. Our findings indicate that slope, canopy cover, and distance from the water source significantly influence nest site selection.

The vocalisations and anti-predatory behaviour of wild white-handed gibbons (Hylobates lar) in Khao Yai National Park, Thailand [PDF]

, 2006
The loud songs of gibbons (Hylobatidae) usually consist of a duet by the mated pair delivered each morning. These songs can transmit over a kilometre through dense forest habitat and therefore presumably play a role in long-distance communication.

Reproductive phenology and its drivers in a tropical rainforest national park in China: Implications for Hainan gibbon (Nomascus hainanus) conservation

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020
Reproductive plant phenology, such as the seasonal timing of flowering or fruiting, influences many aspects of tropical forest communities, but there are few studies examining potential drivers of phenological patterns, especially in south China.

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,

Passive Acoustic Identification of Social Groups in the Hainan Gibbon

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation
ABSTRACT Passive monitoring based on audio or camera recordings is a valuable tool for wildlife conservation and management. The Hainan gibbon ( Nomascus hainanus ), with a global population of approximately 42 individuals, is one ...

Differences in Habitat Quality Drive Behavioral Contrasts in Two Family Groups of the Critically Endangered Hainan Gibbon (Nomascus hainanus)

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Habitat quality variation drove distinct behavioral strategies: GC (resource‐rich group) behaviors were influenced by food availability, safety and stability, while GE (resource‐scarce group) behaviors relied more on topography, food, and nutrients. Seasonal behavioral flexibility was demonstrated, with food variables dominating in the dry season and ...
