As in previous years, this studbook includes data from Europe, Honk Kong and South Africa. At the end of 2008 there were 11 (7.2.2) Nomascus g. siki , 80 (47.23.10) Nomascus leucogenys and 97 (47.40.10) Nomascus g. gabriellae : only this last population is growing. 0.0.4 leucogenys and 4.2.5 (0.0.1) gabriella e were born, including twins in Pretoria! 3.1 leucogenys and 1.1.1 gabriellae died. Parken Zoo (SU) joined the leucogenys EEP and Arnhem and Induna (RSA) joined the gabriellae EEP. There is still a problem to place surplus males leucogenys , and breeding pairs of gabriellae . Thank you again to Mulhouse gibbons’ team: Joelle Bago, Aline Drouin, Frédéric Seyffarth, Alexis Le Gac, Aurélie Masson for the care that they give to our animals under the daily supervision of Jean-françois Lefèvre, head keeper, and David Gomis, DVM.

  • Food Selection by Northern Yellow-Cheeked Crested Gibbons (Nomascus Annamensis)In Northern Cambodia
    Food Selection by Northern Yellow-cheeked Crested Gibbons (Nomascus annamensis)in Northern Cambodia Naven Hon A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Ecology and Biodiversity School of Biological Sciences Victoria University of Wellington New Zealand 2016 i Abstract Tropical regions have extremely high plant diversity, which in turn supports a high diversity of animals. However, not all plant species are selected by animals as food sources, with some herbivores selecting only specific plants as food as not all plants have the same nutrient make up. Animals must select which food items to include in their diets, as the amount and type of nutrients in their diet can affect lifespan, health, fitness, and reproduction. Gibbon populations have declined significantly in recent years due to habitat destruction and hunting. Northern yellow-cheeked crested gibbon (Nomascus annamensis) is a newly described species, and has a limited distribution restricted to Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. The northern yellow-cheeked crested gibbons play an important role in seed dispersal, yet little is currently known about this species, including its food selection and nutritional needs. However, data on food selection and nutritional composition of selected food items would greatly inform the conservation of both wild and captive populations of this species. This study aims to quantify food selection by the northern yellow-cheeked crested gibbons by investigating the main plant species consumed and the influence of the availability of food items on their selection. The study also explores the nutritional composition of food items consumed by this gibbon species and identifying key plant species that provide these significant nutrients.

With one exception, the eastern hoolock, all ape species and their subspecies are classi- fied as endangered or critically endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) (IUCN, 2016c). Since apes require access to forested or wooded land- scapes, habitat loss represents a major cause of population decline, as does hunting in these settings (Geissmann, 2007; Hickey et al., 2013; Plumptre et al., 2016b; Stokes et al., 2010; Wich et al., 2008).

Studies about the sound spectrum characteristics and the intergroup differences in eastern black crested gibbon (Nomascus nasutus) song are still rare. Here, we studied the singing behavior of eastern black crested gibbon based on song samples of three groups of gibbons collected from Trung Khanh, northern Vietnam. The results show that: 1) Song frequency of both adult male and adult female eastern black crested gibbon is low and both are below 2 KHz; 2) Songs of adult male eastern black gibbons are composed mainly of short syllables (aa notes) and frequency modulated syllables (FM notes), while adult female gibbons only produce a stable and stereotyped pattern of great calls; 3) There is significant differences among the three groups in highest and lowest frequency of FM syllable in males’ song; 4) The song chorus is dominated by adult males, while females add a great call; 5) The sound spectrum frequency is lower and complex, which is different from Hainan gibbon. The low frequency in the singing of the eastern black crested gibbon is related to the structure and low quality of the vegetation of its habitat.

The evidence-base includes one historical specimen of imprecise provenance, recent records of a few captives (of unknown origin), and a few recent field records. Only one national protected area (NPA), Nam Pouy NPA, lies within its Lao range, and the populations of the species now seem to be small and fragmented. Habitat degradation, conversion and fragmentation, and hunting, are all heavy in recently-surveyed areas, including the NPA. Without specific attention, national extinction is very likely, although the precise level of threat is unclear because so little information is available on its current status in the country.

  • PROJECT PROPOSAL Conservation of Northern White-Cheeked Gibbon
    PROJECT PROPOSAL Conservation of northern white-cheeked gibbon (Nomascus leucogenys) in the conservation complex of Xuan Lien and Pu Hoat Nature Reserve, Vietnam Bui Thanh Tung Center for Nature Conservation and Development (CCD) E-mail: [email protected] 1/9 Abstract Northern white-cheeked gibbon (Nomascus leucogenys) is one of the planet’s endangered primates and the most threatened species in Vietnam. Nomascus leucogenys historically occurs from Northwest Vietnam to Northern Laos and Southern China (Rawson et al., 2011). Habitat loss and poaching are major threats to the survival of the gibbon. The population of gibbon in China may now be as few as 10 individuals, which are unlikely to persist even in the short-term (Pengfei, 2010). The population in Laos is unknown. The population in Vietnam is highly fragmented and limited to three areas in Northern Vietnam (Rawson et al., 2011). Recently, the surveys about primate confirmed that the most viable populations of this species in Vietnam is now found in the forest complex of Xuan Lien Nature Reserve and Pu Hoat Nature Reserve located in the western area of the north-central region of Vietnam (Nguyen et al., 2013). However, the studies have focused on the efforts into researching in Xuan Lien and have not done in Pu Hoat. The lack of public attention about the survival of this critically endangered gibbon has still been a major concern, and the conservation gap is also one of the factors that lead to the declining of the gibbon in Vietnam. More importantly, Pu Hoat and Xuan Lien are believed to be the most important throughout for this species its range.

In ecology and social system evolution, the elucidation tropical forests, gibbons rely heavily on ripe fruit pulp (Chivers, 1984), with fruits including figs comprising >60% of their annual of which will contribute to the conservation of these diet, though siamang (Symphalangus syndactylus) is more special populations/species. According to preliminary folivorous (reviewed in Bartlett, 2011).

Class: Mammalia (all mammals) Order: Primates (prosimians, monkeys, apes, humans) Family: Hylobatidae(gibbons and lesser apes) Genus: Nomascus (crested gibbons) Species: Nomascus leucogenys (Northern white cheeked gibbon) Distribution Where in the world does this species live? Nomascus leucogenys is better known as the white-cheeked gibbon. This species is found only in Southeast Asia. They primarily populate Laos, Vietnam, and Southern China. In Vietnam white-cheeked gibbons are found to the southwest of the Song Ma and Song Bo Rivers. Habitat What kinds of areas does this species live in? They live in the canopy of subtropical rainforests and prefer lowland forests with more diversity of fruit trees. However more recently with habitat loss most of these gibbons live above 700 meters.White- cheeked gibbons hardly ever descend to the forest floor. Physical Description How would this animal’s body shape and size be described? • Gibbons are small apes with very long arms and no tail. Nomascus leucogenys are not sexually dimorphic for size, but are for color. • Males and females are 45-63 cm (18-25 in) long and weigh and average of 5.7 kg.(12.5 lb). • All infants are born with cream-colored fur. At two years of age, the infants’ fur changes from cream to black, and they develop white patches on their cheeks. • At sexual maturity, males stay black with white cheeks. Females turn back to the original cream or pale yellow/yellow color and they lose the majority of their white cheek color, except for a thin white face ring.
