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.

Assessing the information‐content of messy data to reconstruct population recovery dynamics for the world's rarest primate [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Understanding the dynamics of population recovery in threatened species requires robust longitudinal monitoring datasets. However, evidence‐based decision‐making is often impeded by variable data collection approaches, necessitating critical evaluation ...

Comparative study of gut microbiota reveals the adaptive strategies of gibbons living in suboptimal habitats [PDF]

npj Biofilms and Microbiomes
Wild animals face numerous challenges in less ideal habitats, including the lack of food as well as changes in diet. Understanding how the gut microbiomes of wild animals adapt to changes in food resources within suboptimal habitats is critical for their

Dual Sound Sources in Siamangs Generate Individually Rhythmic and Temporally Coordinated Vocal Emissions. [PDF]

Ann N Y Acad Sci
We analyzed the rhythmic structure of songs from 14 adult siamangs, a singing primate that produces units via two distinct vocal production mechanisms: oral‐tract modulation and laryngeal‐sac resonance. When considered separately, both mechanisms exhibit isochrony (1:1). In contrast, the combined output reveals additional rhythmic clusters (≈1:9, 9:1).
