  • Deforestation of Primate Habitat on Sumatra and Adjacent Islands, Indonesia

    Deforestation of Primate Habitat on Sumatra and Adjacent Islands, Indonesia

    Primate Conservation 2017 (31): 71-82 Deforestation of Primate Habitat on Sumatra and Adjacent Islands, Indonesia Jatna Supriatna1,2, Asri A. Dwiyahreni2, Nurul Winarni2, Sri Mariati3,4 and Chris Margules2,5 ¹Department of Biology, FMIPA Universitas Indonesia, Depok, Indonesia 2Research Center for Climate Change, Universitas Indonesia, Depok, Indonesia 3Postgraduate Program, Trisakti Institute for Tourism, Pesanggrahan, Jakarta, Indonesia 4Conservation International, Indonesia 5Centre for Tropical Environmental and Sustainability Science, College of Marine and Environmental Sciences, James Cook University, Cairns, Australia Abstract: The severe declines in forest cover on Sumatra and adjacent islands have been well-documented but that has not slowed the rate of forest loss. Here we present recent data on deforestation rates and primate distribution patterns to argue, yet again, for action to avert potential extinctions of Sumatran primates in the near future. Maps of forest loss were constructed using GIS and satellite imagery. Maps of primate distributions were estimated from published studies, museum records and expert opinion, and the two were overlaid on one another. The extent of deforestation in the provinces of Sumatra between 2000 and 2012 varied from 3.74% (11,599.9 ha in Lampung) to 49.85% (1,844,804.3 ha in Riau), with the highest rates occurring in the provinces of Riau, Jambi, Bangka Belitung and South Sumatra. During that time six species lost 50% or more of their forest habitat: the Banded langur Presbytis femoralis lost 82%, the Black-and-white langur Presbytis bicolor lost 78%, the Black-crested Sumatran langur Presbytis melalophos and the Bangka slow loris Nycticebus bancanus both lost 62%, the Lar gibbon Hylobates lar lost 54%, and the Pale-thighed langur Presbytis siamensis lost 50%.

Mowry6 Received February 22, 2006; accepted May 26, 2006; Published Online May 24, 2007 Nutritional factors are among the most important influences on primate food choice. We examined the influence of macronutrients, minerals, and sec- ondary compounds on leaf choices by members of a foli-frugivorous popula- tion of eastern black-and-white colobus—or guerezas (Colobus guereza)— inhabiting the Kakamega Forest, Kenya. Macronutrients exerted a complex influence on guereza leaf choice at Kakamega. At a broad level, protein con- tent was the primary factor determining whether or not guerezas consumed specific leaf items, with eaten leaves at or above a protein threshold of ca. 14% dry matter. However, a finer grade analysis considering the selection ra- tios of only items eaten revealed that fiber played a much greater role than protein in influencing the rates at which different items were eaten relative to their abundance in the forest. Most minerals did not appear to influence leaf choice, though guerezas did exhibit strong selectivity for leaves rich in zinc. Guerezas avoided most leaves high in secondary compounds, though their top food item (Prunus africana mature leaves) contained some of the high- est condensed tannin concentrations of any leaves in their diet.

  • Ontogeny of Positional Behavior in Captive Silvered Langurs (Trachypithecus Cristatus)

    Ontogeny of Positional Behavior in Captive Silvered Langurs (Trachypithecus Cristatus)

    Ontogeny of Positional Behavior in Captive Silvered Langurs (Trachypithecus cristatus) A Senior Honors Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for graduation with research distinction in Anthropological Science in the undergraduate colleges of The Ohio State University by Amy Eakins The Ohio State University March 2010 Project Advisor: Professor W. Scott McGraw, Department of Anthropology ABSTRACT Compared to most other mammalian groups, primates are known for the great diversity of positional behavior they exhibit. Their positional repertoire is not static through time, but rather changes with age. As primates age and body size increases, the manner in which animals navigate their environment responds to shifting biomechanical, nutritional, socio-behavioral and reproductive factors. In this study, I examined positional behavior in a colony of captive colobine monkeys, hypothesizing that locomotor and postural diversity will increase with age due to changing physiological and ecological processes. I predicted that as animals mature, their positional diversity will increase as they become more adept at negotiating their three- dimensional environments. I examined age effects on positional behavior in silvered langurs (Trachypithecus cristatus) housed at the Columbus Zoo. Data were collected from January – August 2009 using instantaneous focal animal sampling on a breeding group containing four adults, two juveniles, and one infant. During each scan I recorded the focal animal’s identity, maintenance activity, substrate, and postural (19 categories) or locomotor (12 categories) behavior. Chi-square tests were performed on the data set of 4504 scans. Contrary to expectations, my analyses show that the number of observed positional behaviors did not change significantly with age, although the types of behaviors observed did change.

Hawkins ♦ Received 18 December 2020 ♦ Accepted 19 January 2021 ♦ Published 11 February 2021 Abstract Increasingly, new species are being described without there being a name-bearing type specimen. In 2015, a new species of primate was described, the golden-crowned langur Presbytis johnaspinalli Nardelli, 2015 on the basis of five photographs that were posted on the Internet in 2009. After publication, the validity of the species was questioned as it was suggested that the animals were par- tially and selectively bleached ebony langurs Trachypithecus auratus (É. Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, 1812). Since the whereabouts of the animals were unknown, it was difficult to see how this matter could be resolved and the current taxonomic status of P. johnaspinalli remains unclear. I present new information about the fate of the individual animals in the photographs and their species identifica- tion. In 2009, thirteen of the langurs on which Nardelli based his description were brought to a rescue centre where, after about three months, they regained their normal black colouration confirming the bleaching hypothesis. Eight of the langurs were released in a forest and two were monitored for two months in 2014.

Loài Pedicinus (Insecta, Phthiraptera, Anoplura, Pedicinidae) trên các loài Chà vá (Pygathrix spp.) ở Đông Nam Á Tóm tắt Cả ba loài chà vá (Pygathrix spp.) của Đông Nam Á là nơi trú ngụ của một loài ký sinh Pedicinus (Neopedicinus). Sử dụng vật liệu được thu thập tươi từ nguồn gốc đã biết, các loài này được xác định là Pedicinus tongkinensis Mey, 1994 ex Pygathrix nemaeus, Pedicinus atratulus nov. spec. ex Pygathrix nigripes, và Pedicinus curtipenitus nov. spec. ex Pygathrix cinerea. Ba loài được mô tả ở đây có quan hệ gần gũi với nhau và thuộc về “nhóm loài ancoratus” mới được tạo ra trong giống phụ Neopedicinus. Introduction The colobine genus of the douc langurs Pygathrix E. Geoffroy St.-Hilaire, 1812 is endemic to Indochina. Three monotypic species are distinguished (Roos & Nadler, 2001, Nadler et al., 2003, Nadler, 2007).

Solitary Non-human primates often live in socially stable individuals typically forage alone (Boinski & Garber, 2000) and groups characterized by bonded relationships their activities are desynchronized with each other both spatially among individuals. Social organization can be used and temporally (Charles-Dominique, 1978). Except for orangutan, to evaluate living conditions and expansion potential. most solitary primate species are nocturnal (Kappeler & van Bisexual group size, ratio of males to females and Schaik, 2002). Pair-living species refer to couples of one adult group composition are essential elements male and one adult female (Kappeler, 1999), such as gibbons. determining the type of social organization. Although Most primates live in bisexual groups (van Schaik & Kappeler, the first report on Shortridge’s capped langurs 1997), which are much more stable compared with other (Trachypithecus shortridgei) was in the 1970s, until mammals, and consist of more than two adults. Group living now, the species only inhabits forests of the primates displayed a diversity with respect to the size, sex ratio Dulongjiang valley in northwest Yunnan, China, with and temporal stabitliy of compositioin.
