Conservation status of proboscis monkey in Sarawak
Biological Conservation, 1985Abstract The status of the proboscis monkey Nasalis larvatus Wurmb. was assessed within the Malaysian State of Sarawak by means of boat surveys at selected sites during 1980–1981, through interviews with residents and by searches of Forest Department files for locality records.

Nasalis larvatus (Proboscis monkey)
1975Blood and/or skin biopsies from one male and two females were available through the courtesy of the San Diego Zoo. All gave similar results and confirm the original report on one female by Chiarelli. The karyotypes presented here came from skin cultures; that of the male is prepared with Giemsa banding.

Mating behaviors of the proboscis monkey (Nasalis larvatus)
American Journal of Primatology, 2006The mating behaviors of the proboscis monkey were observed in a riverine forest along a tributary of the Kinabatangan River, Sabah, Malaysia, for a period of 30 months. Solicitation for copulation was initiated frequently by males and occasionally by females.

Microsatellite markers for the proboscis monkey (Nasalis larvatus)
Conservation Genetics Resources, 2010We describe eight polymorphic microsatellite loci for the proboscis monkey (Nasalis larvatus). These markers were tested with 33 samples, collected from Sabah and exhibited a mean of 6.25 alleles per locus and a mean expected heterozygosity of 0.674. All but one locus were in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, and no evidence for linkage disequilibrium was ...

Crocodile predation on a proboscis monkey in Borneo
Primates, 1985An adult male proboscis monkey (Nasalis larvatus) on the edge of the Sekonyer Kanan River was seized by a crocodile 6 km downstream from the Orangutan Research and Conservation Project base camp where a crocodile had taken a crab-eating macaque (Macaca fascicularis) two years earlier. This incident helps establish false gavials (Tomistoma schlegeli) as

A short note on seed dispersal by colobines: the case of the proboscis monkey
Integrative Zoology, 2013AbstractAlthough the role of primates in seed dispersal is generally well recognized, this is not the case for colobines, which are widely distributed in Asian and African tropical forests. Colobines consume leaves, seeds and fruits, usually unripe. A group of proboscis monkeys (Colobinae, Nasalis larvatus) consisting of 1 alpha‐male, 6 adult females ...

Vocal acoustics in the endangered proboscis monkey (Nasalis larvatus)
American Journal of Primatology, 2013The endangered proboscis monkey (Nasalis larvatus) is a sexually highly dimorphic Old World primate endemic to the island of Borneo. Previous studies focused mainly on its ecology and behavior, but knowledge of its vocalizations is limited. The present study provides quantified information on vocal rate and on the vocal acoustics of the prominent calls

Observations on the fetus and placenta of a proboscis monkey (Nasalis Iarvatus)
Primates, 1977The villous bidiscoid placenta in utero of a proboscis monkey with a fetus of 9.0 cm crown rump length was examined. The immature male fetus weighed 56 g and had a 5.4 cm head circumference. Of particular interest was the stomach, consisting of three parts, large fundus, a narrow tubular portion, and a small pyloric region.

Population Genetics Analyses of the Endangered Proboscis Monkey from Malaysian Borneo
Folia Primatologica, 2019The proboscis monkey, Nasalis larvatus, is an endemic species to the island of Borneo. It is listed in the IUCN Red List as Endangered with a decreasing population trend. Nevertheless, biological information, especially on the genetic diversity of the species, is still incomplete.
