Reproductive Phenology and Climatic Drivers of Plant Species Used as Food by the Hainan Gibbon, Nomascus hainanus (Primates: Hylobatidae)

open access: yesForests, 2023
The timing of flowering and fruiting plays a critical role in the reproduction, population size, and range of fruit-eating animals. The Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park, China, hosts one of the world’s most endangered primate species, the Hainan gibbon (Nomascus hainanus). Understanding the phenological patterns of the principal food sources of

Detection of a New Hainan Gibbon (Nomascus hainanus) Group Using Acoustic Call Playback [PDF]

open access: yesInternational 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 ...

Hainan Gibbons (Nomascus hainanus), the Most Threatened and Rarest Primate in the World

open access: yesJournal of Biomedical Research & Environmental Sciences, 2022
Gibbons (Hylobatidae) are exclusively arboreal small apes only inhabiting in tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia [1]. Gibbons in Nomascus have 52 chromosomes and adult males and females are almost the same body size.

Reproductive Characters and Mating Behaviour of Wild Nomascus hainanus

open access: yesInternational Journal of Primatology, 2008
We report for the first time the reproductive behaviors of Hainan gibbons (Nomascus hainanus), based on 29 mo of field observations. Receptive females initiated courtship displays. Copulatory patterns involved the male mounting dorsoventrally from above and behind. Multiple intromissions with thrusting were brief, lasting

The Critically Endangered Hainan Gibbon (Nomascus hainanus) Population Increases but not at the Maximum Possible Rate

open access: yesInternational Journal of Primatology, 2022
AbstractWith the ongoing global biodiversity crisis in the Anthropocene, it is critical to understand how to save endangered species to “bend the curve” of biodiversity decline. The Hainan gibbon (Nomascus hainanus) is a Critically Endangered species that is endemic to Hainan Island.

Sound Spectrum Characteristics of Songs of Hainan Gibbon (Nomascus hainanus)

International Journal of Primatology, 2014
Gibbons are characterized by their species-specific calls, or songs. There are few studies of songs of Hainan gibbon (Nomascus hainanus). To study the sound spectrum characteristics and test for intergroup differences in Hainan gibbon song, we studied the singing behavior of Hainan gibbons in Bawangling National Nature Reserve, Hainan Province, China ...

Degradation of tropical forest in Hainan, China, 1991–2008: Conservation implications for Hainan Gibbon (Nomascus hainanus)

Biological Conservation, 2010
Abstract The Hainan gibbon ( Nomascus hainanus ) is one of the most endangered primates in the world, confined to mature natural forest in Hainan Island, China. We assessed changes in habitat condition on the island between 1991 and 2008, using vegetation maps generated by remote-sensing images.

Genetic Diversity of the Critically Endangered Nomascus hainanus Based on Non‐Invasive Sampling Microsatellite Analysis

American Journal of Primatology
ABSTRACT In the wild, non‐human primates may experience population declines resulting from low genetic diversity and inbreeding, while the scientific planning of ecological corridors can assist in population recovery and mitigate genetic diversity loss. The Hainan Gibbon ( Nomascus hainanus
