CamTrapAsia : A dataset of tropical forest vertebrate communities from 239 camera trapping studiesNARA Subscribed
Information on tropical Asian vertebrates has traditionally been sparse, particularly when it comes to cryptic species inhabiting the dense forests of the region. Vertebrate populations are declining globally due to land‐use change and hunting, the latter frequently referred as “defaunation.” This is especially true in tropical Asia where there is extensive land‐use change and high human densities. Robust monitoring requires t...

An Approaching Motor Boat Induces Stress-Related Behaviors in Proboscis Monkeys (Nasalis larvatus) Living in a Riparian AreaNARA Subscribed
Primate ecotourism is a fast-growing tourism sector that may have a negative effect on wildlife. In riparian areas, tourists can conveniently reach primates via motor boats, but no study has directly examined whether such boats cause stress in primates. Our goal was to test whether the approach of a motor boat induces stress-related and other behaviors in proboscis monkeys ( Nasalis larvatus ), an Endangered species. We studie...
Vocal intervention is a triadic social interaction, where a third party responds vocally to a conflict between group members, minimizing the costs of aggression in response to the intervention. Because there is little information on vocal third-party intervention in nonhuman mammals, we investigated whether adult male proboscis monkeys use the bray vocalization as a vocal third-party intervention signal to intervene in intragr...
Reconstructing the demographic history of orang‐utans using Approximate B ayesian ComputationNARA Subscribed
Investigating how different evolutionary forces have shaped patterns of DNA variation within and among species requires detailed knowledge of their demographic history. O rang‐utans, whose distribution is currently restricted to the S outh‐ E ast A sian islands of B orneo ( P ongo pygmaeus ) and S umatra ( P ongo abelii ), have likely experienced a complex demographic history, influenced by recurrent changes in climate and sea...
Molecular analysis of dispersal in giant pandasNARA Subscribed
Although dispersal in the giant panda ( Ailuropoda melanoleuca ) is a demographic mechanism which can potentially counteract the negative effect of habitat fragmentation, little is known about dispersal in this species because of difficulties in observing individuals. Using data from faecal microsatellite genotyping, we compared the spatial distribution of giant pandas in two populations and the proximity of relatives in one k...
Behavioural observations suggest that orang‐utans are semi‐solitary animals with females being philopatric and males roaming more widely in search of receptive partners, leading to the prediction that females are more closely related than males at any given site. In contrast, our study presents evidence for male and female philopatry in the orang‐utan. We examined patterns of relatedness and parentage in a wild orang‐utan popu...
