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.

Automated Detection of Gibbon Calls From Passive Acoustic Monitoring Data Using Convolutional Neural Networks in the "Torch for R" Ecosystem. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Our paper presents a workflow utilizing deep learning with convolutional neural networks in the “torch for R” ecosystem for automated detection of gibbon calls from passive acoustic monitoring data. We compare six CNN architectures, assessing their performance on data sets of female calls from two gibbon species.

Y-Chromosome Genetic Characterization Supports the Establishment of Calving Centered Protected Areas for Tibetan Antelope Conservation. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study analyzed the genetic diversity, population structure, and historical dynamics of the Y chromosome of the Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii), and found that its nucleotide diversity and haplotype diversity were high, and that the population was divided into three genetic populations, but there was no correspondence between the genetic ...

Landscape and conservation genetics of western black crested gibbons (Nomascus concolor) in China. [PDF]

Am J Primatol
We examined the how forest structure boundaries affect the population structure and genetic connectivity of western black crested gibbons in Yunnan China. Both high‐altitude rhododendron thickets and lowland anthropogenic deforestation are restricting gene flow in these critically endangered apes. Abstract Despite decades of field study, very little is

Seasonal home range utilization of Hainan gibbons (Nomascus hainanus) in a secondary tropical forest of Hainan Island, South China

Global Ecology and Conservation
The home range utilization of primates reflects their behavioral and ecological strategies to adapt to their environment. However, little is known about the home range behavior of endemic gibbons (Nomascus hainanus) found in a secondary tropical forest ...

The status of the Hainan gibbon Nomascus hainanus and the Eastern black gibbon Nomascus nasutus

International Zoo Yearbook, 2011
Crested gibbons Nomascus spp are the rarest genus of the family Hylobatidae, and the Hainan gibbon Nomascus hainanus is the rarest primate in the world, numbering around 20 individuals. The Eastern black gibbon Nomascus nasutus, also known as Cao Vit gibbon, numbers <110 individuals in their native habitat.

Science-based suggestions to save the world's rarest primate species <i>Nomascus hainanus</i>. [PDF]

Sci Adv
Conservation practices for extremely small populations must be grounded in solid science to prevent extinction. Hainan gibbon ( Nomascus hainanus ) is the world’s rarest primate species; however, insufficient data on its habitat suitability and genetic status impede evidence-based decisions for habitat restoration ...

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.
