Abstrak
I  plan  to  examine  the  interactions  between  humans  and  proboscis  is  monkeys Nasalis Larvatus in West Kalimantan, Indonesia, in order to assess effective conservation
strategies.  Conservation  management  strategies  often  vary  in  their  level  of  interaction with local people; therefore, influencing both the acceptance of the project with the local
people  and  the  amount  of  wildlife  protection  that  actually  ensues.  I  will  focus  on  four different conservation strategies: national parks, integrated conservation and development
projects represented as an ecotourism project, Reduced Emissions through Deforestation and  Degradation  REDD  strategies,  and  no  conservation  strategies.  Using  four  sites  in
West  Kalimantan,  I  will  assess  how  different  conservation  strategies  influence  the  local perception  on  a  primate  species,  how  local  views  of  conservation  strategies  influence
human  actions,  and  what  effect  these  actions  have  on  proboscis  monkey  behaviour.  I will  address  my  hypotheses  by  sampling  the  human  populations  in  four  communities,
collecting  census  data  on  the  proboscis  monkeys,  and  collecting  ecological  data.  The project will take place from October 15th, 2010 to October 15th, 2011. This project hopes
to enhance the knowledge of the conservation of the proboscis monkeys, and enhance the conservation of many endangered species and areas in Indonesia

Orangutans  make  a  large  number  of  calls,  but  most  studies  only  focused  on  the long  calls  e.g.  Mitani  1985,  Delgado  2006,  Delgado  2007,  Mitra  Setia  and  van  Schaik
2007, Lameira and Wich 2008, but see Hardus et al. 2009a. However, Hardus et al. 2009b examined the vocal and sound repertoire of orangutans at Tuanan, Central Kalimantan.
These results support the view that orangutans may owe one of the richest repertoires among great apes. Hardus et al. 2009b also showed that some populations share calls but
vary in the presence or absence of other calls. It is necessary to conduct similar recordings and analyses in other sites to recognize the true extent of cultural variation. We propose
to  replicate  the  study  by  Hardus  et  al.  2009b  at  Gunung  Palung  in  West  Kalimantan, Indonesia. Two different topics will be studied:
1. Individual variaion across orangutan vocal and sound repertoire at Gunung Palung.
Informaion  on  individual  variaion  is  prospected  to  give  insight  into  each  call’s potenial funcion. It also allows invesigaing which factors facilitate the evoluion of
individual acousic signatures in orangutans.
2. Geographic  variaion  in  vocal  and  sound  repertoire  between  a  Bornean  Gunung
Palung  and  Sumatran  Ketambe  orangutan  populaion.  It  is  essenial  to  examine whether  culture  generates  variaions  in  the  acousic  characterisics  of  shared  calls
between populaions between a Bornean and Sumatran populaion.
Both studies will follow the methodology of previous reference ape studies Mitani et al. 1996, Delgado et al. 2009. Eestablishing the repertoire of the orangutan at several
sites may reveal more population specific call types and has the benefit that it enables us to examine whether variations andor differences found may be ascribed to local cultures
see van Schaik et al 2003, 2006.

Abstrak
When  digging  for  the  root  of  human  communication,  researchers  quite  naturally focus  on  non-human  primates.  One  highly  debated  question  is  how  human  language
evolved  from  nonhuman  primate’  communication,  and  which  specific  modality  vocal, gestural  or  both  constitutes  the  most  likely  precursor  of  human  language.  While  this
question  has  received  most  attention  and  still  remains  unanswered,  identifying  the selective  pressures  that  allowed  the  emergence  of  complex  communicative  system
can be achieved by studying closely related species that differ in relevant evolutionary variable such as their group size 9 Dunbar, 1988, habitat Tomasello  Call, 2007 or social
style Maestripieri, 1999. Due to their great diversity Macaques provide a useful model for the comparative study of communication. While less tolerant species such as rhesus
macaques  Macaca  malatta  are  well  studied  Gouzoules  et  al,  1984;  Hauser    Marler,

1993;  Maestripieri,  2005;  Partan,  2002,  data  is  lacking  in  more  tolerant  species  such  as the Sulawesi macaques. Tolerant species are supposed to show a higher flexibility in their
expression and interpretation of communicative signals Maestripieri, 1999; Preuschoft van Hooff, 1997; Preuschoft  van Schaik, 2000 and studies of their behavioural repertoires
suggest greater context dependant meaning  of signal and the importance of multimodal communication 9Thierry et al., 2000.
We plan to take advantage of the pre-existing methodology  and results available on less tolerant macaque species in order to make comparrisons between different species.
In order to measure communication complexity, we will focus on 1 the overall size and dynamic of communication, 2 the flexibility of use of communicative signals i.e. the use of
a single signal in diffrent context; and 3 the use and function of multimodal signals. This comprehensive approach will allow a direct comparison of selected key communicative
features in closely related species that differ in their social style, thereby allowing us to have insight into its influence on species’ communicative system.

Very little is known about the ranging strategies of male orang-utans, particularly the  Bornean  species,  and  estimates  of  home  range  size  vary  greatly  between  different
research  sites  and  between  species.  Male  ranges  have  been  found  to  be  larger  than

those of females across all research sites but we generally know little else of long-term movements,  particularly  degree  of  dispersal,  philopatry  and  the  influences  of  social
factors. Here I will investigate these social factors and examine how ecological factors also affect  home  range,  to  determine  how  habitat  type,  forest  productivity  and  seasonality
influences male ranging strategies.
Over three decades have passed since the first studies of orang-utan behaviour yet there  is  still  little  data  available  on  male  ranging  behaviour,  since  ranges  often  exceed
the size of study areas 1. The principal factors shaping primate social organization and grouping are the distribution and abundance of food resources and reproductive potential
2 and it is recognized that the distribution of attractive females in an area has an effect on male range use in orang-utans, as in most other mammals 3. Orang-utans are the only
extant ape to exhibit bi-maturation and a semi-solitary nature; consequently this species has developed a complex social organization resulting in much male-male competition
for females and two co-existing mating strategies both of which have greatly influenced male ranging behaviour.
To establish a better understanding of the social system of this solitary species I will use behavioural, survey and genetic methods to determine patterns in male orang-utan
ranging and dispersal; By conducting follows I will investigate the size of home ranges and core areas, as well as examining how these areas are determined and used in relation to
social and ecological contraints. By carrying out habitat analysis and nest count surveys I can gain an understanding of how fruiting patterns, seasonality and habitat type and quality
affect male orang-utans range use in this disturbed forest. By analysis microsatellite and mitochondrial DNA from faecal and hair samples collected from multiple localities within
the  Sabangau  peat-swamp  forest,  I  will  identify  relatedness  within  the  population  and discover from where certain males originate, furthering our knowledge dispersal patterns,
as it is known that once mature male orang-utans disperse from their natal range, where as females are philopatric 4. We are only now beginning to understand orng-utan social
organization and this information is important not only to better understand this species but also when devising conservations plans to ensure the survival of this species as the
spatial needs of both individual and populations of orang-utans must be considered.

Abstrak
The  Sulawesi  crested  black  macaque  Macaca  nigra  is  a  critically  endangered primate
Species  endemic  to  north  Sulawesi.  Over  the  last  40  years  their  population  has declined,  a  trend  which  continues,  due  to  habitat  destruction  and  hunting  activities.
Carefully  designed  and  implemented  environemntal  Education  Programmes  EEPs  can increase awareness and understanding of conservation issues and from a foundation for
long lasting conservation, which is hoped will mitigate the threats faced by this species.
In the current study, three different educational materials, a book, poster and film, transfer  knoledge  about  the  needs  of  and    threats  to  M.  Nigra. These  materials  will  be
introduced  in  the  villages  of  Batu  Putih  and  Kasuari,  both  neibouring  Tangkoko  dua Saudara Nature Researve in north Sulawesi, over a period of three months. The efficacy of
these materials to transfer knowledge and effect empathy and attitudes towards M. Nigra and their habitats, will be studied several days after each introduction. Data collected will
test what type of educational material is most effective, adn whether the accumulative effect of being exposed to all three media increases efficacy beyond that seen when only
one media is provided.
The  collected  data  will  be  written  up  as  theisis  as  part  of  the  completion  of  MSc in Zoo Conservation Biology trhough the University of Plymouth. This research has the
potential  of  increasing  the  knowledge  of  Eeps,  and  will  contribute  to  increasing  our understanding about which media can effectively convey information and contribute to
attitute and empathy. Those educational media found to be effective will be disseminated further whitin Minahasa, the home Range of M. Nigra.

The  goal  of  this  research  is  to  determine  the  extent  that  altitude  is  the  driving force behind the unusual behavior and morphology exhibited by pygmy tarsiers Tarsius
pumilus  of  the  upper  montane  forest  in  Central  Sulawesi,  Indonesia.  This  project  will continue preliminary research conducted May-Ocktober 2008 on Mt. Rorekatimbu in Lore
Lindu national Park Central Sulawesi, during which the principal investigators recorded the first field observations of this little-known primate species Gursky-Doyen  Grow 2009;
Grow    Gursky  –  Doyen  in  press.  Our  preliminary  observation  suggest  pygmy  tarsiers differ  from  the  lowland  Sulawesian  tarsier  species  in  both  behavior  foraging,  ranging,
habitat  usage,  group  composition,  and  communication  strategies  and  morphology body size, hindlimb proportions, and claw-like nails on all digits. This study will answer
the research question : how does altitude affect pygmy tarsier behavior and morphology ? We hypothesize that the behavior and morphology of pygmy tarsiers are adaptations
to a high altitude environment. To test this hypothesis, this study will investigate wether behavioral and morphological variation within pygmy tarsiers corresponds to altitudinal
ecological variation.
Interspecific and intraspecific variation in primate behavior and morphology often corresponds to variation in environmental selective pressures Chapman 2009; Van Schaik
1989,  including  food  resource  availability.  In  a  cross-species  comparison,  variability  in primate diet and range usage was found to associate with variation in food abundance,
distribution,  and  quality  Clutton-Brock    Harvey  1977.  Primate  sociality  and  grouping patterns  also  vary  with  food  distribution.  For  example,  among  mouse  lemurs,  females
that feed upon dispersed insects exhibit more dispersed social relationships than females that  feed  on  patchy  fruit  resources  Dammhahn    Kappeler  2009.  Factors  other  than
food  availability,  including  the  distribution  of  sleep  sites  and  risks  of  predation  and infanticide, also affect primate social behavior and habitat usage. For example, woodland
and  savanna  baboons  aggregate  at  sleeping  sites  that  are  inaccessible  to  predators, generating larger group sizes than macaques, which live in rain forests that contain evenly
distributed sleeping sites Hamilton 1982. Threat of predation may also impact sleep site selection. Sifakas select lower daytime resting sites, possibly in response to diurnal avian
predators, while they choose higher sleep sites in the night time when the predator threat is mammalian Wright 1998. In terms of social affiliation within groups, risk of infanticide
has  been  suggested  as  an  important  selection  pressure  in  the  evolution  of  male  and female associations.

This  research  focuses  on  the  phenomenon  of  commensalism  between  primates and humans corresponding to a strategy of adaptation where primates exploit habitats
in  sympatry  with  humans,  adapting  their  ecology  and  behaviour  to  anthropogenic environments. The ecological and behavioural modifications, as well as the interspecific
conflicts  generated  by  comensal  situations,  threaten  the  long  term  survival  of  primate populations. We propose to investigate the commensalism issue using as model the long-
tailed macaque Macaca fascicularis a primate species found in Southeast Asia and known for the diversity of its habitats. We plan to study macaque populations living at temple
or tourist sites on the island of Bali, Indonesia. The main objective of this research is to establish a recent eco-behavioural profile demography activity budget diet ranging of
the population at “ Padangtegal Monkey Forest”, Ubud Gianyar Regency and to compare it with available previous data to document modifications over time. A second objective
is  to  realize  demographic  census  of  two  other  commersal  populations  of  long-tailed macaque living in the South of Bali Badung Regency.
This research project aims to assess the impact of human-primate commensalism on  the  behavioural  ecology  and  the  long  term  viability  of  some  primate  populations.
To  achieve  this  objective  we  use  as  species  model  the  long-tailed  macaque  Macaca

fascicularis, a primate species widespread throughout Southeast Asia [1,2] and exploiting a  wide  diversity  of  habitats  characterized  by  various  degrees  of  commensalism  with
human, from primary forests to urban environments [3,4,5]. We use an interpopulational comparative approach by comparing 4 populations of  Macaca fascicularis characterized
by  various  anthropic  levels  on  the  Island  of  Bali.  Through  this  approach,  we  control multiple  anthropic  and  environmental  factors  for  a  more  complete  understanding  of
the commensalism impact. The anthropic and ecological factors are: 1 the habitat and microhabitat type, 2 the frequency and the quantity of human food provisioning, 3 the
human presence degree and 4 the habitat quality diversity of vegetal species naturally present  in  the  macaques’habitat. We  analyze  the  impacts  on  the  behavioural  ecology,
and  more  specifically  on  the  activity  and  ranging  patterns,  the  feeding  ecology,  the demography  and  the  population  dynamics.  The  commensalism  impact  on  these  eco-
behavioural  parameters  is  investigated  at  two  levels:  between  populations  and  within populations  between  group  and  between  daily  periods. We  chose  to  investigate  this
research question in Bali Indonesia because this island is a particularly appropriate site for a comparative study, given the diversity of its ecosystems and landscapes, the extent of
commensalism, and the high density of long-tailed macaques 8-10,000 notably around temples [6]. This research is conducted in collaboration with the “Pusat Kajian Primata”Dr. I.

The genus Macaca is unique among the non-human primates for the range of habitats it has colonised. Ten macaque species inhabit the Indonesian archipelago Fooden, 1980;
Groves, 1980; Groves, 1996; Evans et al., 1999. This is the only area in the world where oceanic islands are sufficiently stocked by primates to allow significant assessment of the
population in terms of evolution and conservation Abegg et al, 2002. Due to its geological and zoogeographical separation for 0.5 – 1.0 Mio years, the Mentawai islands off Sumatras
west coast are characterized by an usual high rate of endemism. All of the five currently recognized primate species, namely the Kloss gibbon Hylobates klossii, Pig tailed langur
Simias concolor, Mentawai langur Presbytis potenziani the Siberut macaque Macaca siberu and the Mentawai macaque Macaca pagensis are endemic to this archipelago
Watanabe, 1981; Roos et al., 2003; Whittaker, 2006; Ziegler et al. 2007. The populations of these primate species are threatened by various factors, e.g. legal and illegal logging,
conversion of the forest into oil palm plantations, forest clearing and product extraction by local people, hunting and pet trade Whittaker, 2006.
Little  is  known  about  the  Mentawai  macaques  dute  to  their  endemic  occurrence on  the  remote  Mentawai  islands  Whitten    Whitten,  1982;  Abegg    Thierry,  2002.
Until  recently  all  Mentawai  macaques  were  considered  to  be  close  relatives  of  Macaca nemestrina living on mainland Sumatra and although the morphology of macaques from
Siberut differs clearly from the macaques of the southern Mentawai islands Sipora, North and South Pagai, they were classified as closely related subspecies. It was only recently,
that  two  studies  based  on  molecular  genetic  showed  that  the  two  forms  of  Mentawai macaques have a paraphyletic origin and that the macaques from Siberut are more closely
related to Macaca nemestrina on Sumatra than to the macaques form the neighbouring islands of the Mentawai archipelago Roos et al., 2003; Ziegler et al. 2007. Consequently it
was suggested to reclassify the Mentawai macaques into two taxa on full species level.
In the present study we will investigate structural differences in loud calls of Mentawai macaques to find out whether they can support the proposed reclassification. A recent
meta-analysis over the primate order Which  Nunn 2002 suggests that loud calls mainly serve to defend resources and to attract mates. Interestingly, only few macaques’ species
produce such loud calls and it is not known why they developed only in these species. From our observations we know that both Mentawai macaques use regularly loud calls.
We know form former studies on other primate species, like gibbons Konrad  Geissmann, 2006,  Thinh  et  al.  in  press,  thath  loud  calls  can  be  useful  to  confirm  phylogenetic
relationships. To which extent this is also true for macaque loud calls is unclear until now, because they is only a limited knowledge on species-specific differences in macaque loud
calls Muroyama  Thierry 1998.

Abstrak
Good health result from homeostasis: the balancing, through continuous interaction, of an organism’s myriad dynamic physiological processes. Parasitology allows us to gain
important information not only about the types of parasites which are infecting individuals, but  also  about  their  general  condition.  By  comparing  the  health  of  wild  and  semi-wild
orangutans, at different sites under varying degress of human pressure, we have begun to build a picture of the factors affecting health in these two equally important populations.
Our  unique  approach  enables  us  to  investigate  whether  complex  aspects  of  ethology and and ecology influences parasite infections and how parasites may have an impact on
whole ecosystem, out of all proportion to their relative size. It is hoped that these efforts will lead to an improved understanding of how best to promote the long-term survival of
all orangutans. Together with our past result, we will create the most extensive database of orangutan health from the data gathered at different locations. The result of this project
will  be  useful  not  only  for  primatologists,  biologists,  pharmacologists,  parasitologists, wildlife  veterinarians  and  conservationists,  but  will  contribute  to  the  local  population’s
social and economic needs.
Result  will  be  published  in  the  speciality  journals  of  the  various  disciplines  e.g., Parasitology,  Int.  J.  Parasitology,  Phytochemistry,  J  Ethnopharmacology,  Primates,
Medical Primatology, Int.J. Primatology, and Am.J. Primatology and more general science magazines Bio Science, Evolutionary Anthropology.

Abstrak
Primate socioecology aims to identify the causal links between ecological variables, such as the distribution of food, and the social behavior of primates.  Female relationships
have traditionally been the focus of socioecology because female reproductive success is strongly constrained by access to food.  This project expands the scope of socioecology
by exploring the nature of male-male relationships in moor macaque monkeys and the potential role males play in important socioecological domains, such as between-group
competition.  Methods  in  behavioral  observation  will  be  used  to:  1  determine  rates  of male-male affiliation and aggression; 2 record the context and participants of between-
group  competitive  encounters;  and,  3  measure  the  mating  success  of  males  that participate in those encounters. This research will not only enhance our understanding of
the role ecological and social factors play in shaping primate social systems but also will provide opportunities for SDSU students to engage in international field research.

Abstrak
The  Influence  of  resources  seasonality  on  the  behavioral  ecology  of  nonhuman primates has been extensively studied. However variation in resources distribution and
abundance  also  extends  beyond  intra  annual  seasonal  fluctuations.  Such  supra  annual variation  is  characteristic  of  Southeast  Asian  forest,  which  exhibit  irregular  “masting”
cycles  in  which  highly  synchronized  periods  of  fruiting  are  interspersed  with  extended periods  of  little  or  no  fruit  production. The  term  scarcity  can  be  used  to  refer  to  such
prolonged,  supra  annual  periods  of  resources  shortage.  Although  scarcity  may  exert an  even  stronger  selective  pressure  or  organisms  than  seasonality,  and  has  most  likely
played an important role in shaping the Biology and behavior of many primates species, it has not been studied extensively. Resources scare habitats should select for behavioral
flexibility, which is likely to be highly adaptive in variable condition. Nonhuman primates exhibit  great  potential  for  behavioral  flexibility  in  response  to  different  environmental
conditions,  but  few  comparative  studies  has  been  conducted  with  wild  primates. Thus, the  influence  of  resources  scarcity  on  the  behavioral  ecology  of  primates  species,  and
capacity of nonhuman primates for behavioral flexibility, remain poorly understood.
This study will examine how nonhuman primates that are known to rely on ripe fruit as  major  component  of  their  diet  elsewhere  cope  with  the  scarcity  and  unpredictable
availability of fruit in East Kalimantan. The forests of Borneo particularly East Kalimantan, exhibit  exceptionally  low  fruit  availability  outside  of  masting  event  and  provide  an
excellent environment in which to study responses to scarcity. The proposed research will examine the feeding ecology, including the dietary composition and ranging behavior,

of  tree  sympatric  primates  species  in  the  Wehea  protected  forest:  orangutans  pongo pygameus, Bornean gibbons hylobates muelleri, and red langurs presbytis rubicund.
These  same  species  have  been  studied  elsewhere  in  Borneo,  providing  a  basis  for comparison  between  fruit  scarce  and  more  fruit  abundant  conditions. This  project  will
takes place between March 2010 and February 2011.
The  significance  of  this  proposal  is  that  it  uses  a  within-site  and  inter  specific comparative approach to examine the range of responses of different sympatric primate
species  to  fruit  scarce  habitat  conditions.  This  will  allow  us  to  better  understand  how behavioral  flexibility  is  promoted  or  constrained,  and  its  role  in  shaping  response  to
the environment. A broader impact of this study is that examining responses to varying habitat condition can provide crucial insight into how nonhuman primates might adapt to
environmental changes induced by anthropogenic habitat alteration, which is crucial for designing effective management plans. Finally this study will also provide much needed
information about Asian primate communities, which have been understudied relatives to African, Neotropical, and Malagasy primate communities.

Abstrak
This study examines inter-population differences in Orangutan interbirth intervals and reproductive ecology. Comparisons of habitat quality and reproductive data accross
ape  taxa,  across  populations  of  chimpanzees,  and  within  one  population  of  Bornean Orangutan strongly point to the hole of energic condition as a determinant of reproductive
timing and reprodductive rate in female apes. Those in better energetic condition have shorter inter-birth intervals and an accelerated rate of other reproductive parameters such
as age at first birth. Hoever, the inter-birth interval data for Orangutans seems contrary to the predictions ofthe energetic hypothesis in that Sumatra Orangutans appear to have
better energic circumstances but but longer  inter-birth intervals. Researcers in Sumatra have proposed that better conditions in Sumatra have led to the selection of elongated life
history parameters such as longer lifespan and inter-birth intervals in this species Wich, et al., 2006. However, at this point it is not clear that the contrasting data from each field
site is directly comparable, nor whether the data suggesting shoter IBI’s on Borneo in not an artifact of the short period of wild orangutanresearch relative to their lifespan.
An  additional  component  of  this  study  is  to  conduct  a  population  survey  of  the density  of  orangutans  living  in  Gunung  palung  National  Park.  Density  estimates  and
subsequent population monitoring are fundamental to determining how threats may be impacting ape populations and assessing the success of conservation actions. This project
extends a previous density survey conducted in 2001, which estimated there to be -2500 individual orangutans within the park and subsequently called for their conservation and
long-term monitoring. However, with the exception of one survey in 2002, which was not condcuted  to  assess  orangutan  density,  there  have  been  no  further  orangutan  surveys
or associated monitoring of orangutans in the area. We believe a large-scale orangutan survey of this critical population is long overdue.

Abstrak
Javan  gibbons  Hylobates  moloch  usually  live  in  monogamous  pairs. We  call  this type  of  social  organization  as  social  monogamy  that  involves  sharing  territory.  One  of
the surprising features of gibbons is the presence of sexual swelling. Sexual swellings are usually aeen in species that form multi-male and multi-female groups but monogamous
gibbons also show sexual sweeling. We think that it may be another key to understand why gibbons are monogamous. Sexual swelling can be categorized into three levels by
tumescence  intensity  exaggerated,  ordinary,  no  swelling.  Gibbons  have  an  ordinary swelling that is different from the exaggerate swelling of chimpanzees. But its function,
pattern  and  characteristic  appear  to  be  quite  similar  to  exaggerated  sexual  swelling. According to the graded signal hypothesis, sexual swellings provide information about
the  probability  of  ovulation,  instead  of  its  actual  timing. That  means  the  female  sexual swelling occurs almost 50 of the time per month. So even though one male may be able
to  defend  a  female’s  territory,  he  would  be  unable  to  defend  both  females  themselves from other males effectively. Therefore social monogamy with EPC may be the optimal
strategy. We hypothesize female benefits from pair-bonding because male defense of the territory increase food availability at little energy cost to the female. This food availability
enables  female  gibbons  to  manipulate  male  behavior  by  prolonging  the  duration  of sexual swelling which may lead to pair-bonding. To test these hypotheses, we will measure
pattern of sexual swelling, collect Behavioral data such as copulation rate per day, daily path length to patrol and proctect territory, and conduct hormone analysis using a fecal
samples.  This  research  can  help  us  to  understand  the  function  of  sexual  swellings  in Javan gibbons. It should also help understand the origin of gibbon monogamy and the
relationship between ecology food availability and social organization.

Abstrak
The aim of this project is to investigate individual differences in several temperamental traits  and  social  competence  in  orangutans  Pongo  pygmaeus,  chimpanzees  Pan
troglodytes,  and  human  children  Homo  sapiens.  How  a  species  or  individual  reacts emotionally  differs  in  temperament  to  various  environmental  stimuli  can  play  an
important  role  in  explaining  differences  in  their  behavioural  phenotype  Fairbanks  et al. 2004; Hare, 2007. In human children, it has been shown that differences in emotion-
related regulatory capacities are associated with high levels of social competence in their daily life. For example, differences in being able to inhibit a dominant response and acting
flexibly  in  a  given  situation  is  related  with  children’s  socially  appropriate  and  prosocial behavior  Eisenberg  et  al.  1995,1997,  Murphy  et  al  2004.  The  majority  of  research  on
temperament in humans and non-human primates has focused on individual variability in temperamental traits within a single species and comparisons across species are mostly
neglected Gosling 2001; Kagan  Snidman 2004.
Until now very little is known about individual differences in the non-human great apes, in general, and especially in regard to their temperament. One reason is that most
of  the  behavioural  research  done  in  the  past  was  conducted  with  very  few  individuals and  with  different  methods,  wich  made  it  impossible  to  investigate  their  individual
differences systematically. Further, there has been no systematic study that investigated

similarities  and  differences  in  temperamental  traits  between  humans  and  their  closest living relatives the non-human apes. Therefore, this project will compare the reaction of
human children, orangutans and chimpanzees to novelty and uncertainty. Moreover, we will investigate if individual temperamental predisposition can predict social competence
in each species. We developed six temperamental tasks that can be used to assess and document the individual differences of orangutans, chimpanzees and human children in a
standardized manner. In addition we developed a social competence task for orangutans and chimpanzees which investigates each individual social tolerance over food. Moreover,
social competence will be assessed by a questionnaire. In this project we also want to find out if age and sex can have an influence on individual differences.

It  was  recently  shown  the  nest-building  in  orangutans  shows  cultural  elements Berlowitz 2008; van Schaik er al. 2003; van Shchaik et al. 2009; van Schaik et. Al 2006, and
it has even been suggested to be the most pervasive form of material skill in great apes fruth and Hohmann 1996.
Infant orangutans have been observed to build adequate small day nest when they are2-3 years old, and all immature are competent nest builders before the age of weaning
6-8 years of age; van Noordwijk  van Schaik 2005; van Noordwijk et al. 2009. Despite obvious individual learning through practice, Forss 2009 found that infants often closely
pay attention when their mothers or another nonspecifik build a nest, thus indicating ample opportunity for social learning.

Both, Tilson 1977and Watanabe 1981 studied Simias concolor on Siberut Island, but  neither  of  them  noted  sexual  swellings.  Either  they  overlooked  the  swellings  or
swellings are absent in the Siberut subspecies. This  preliminary  study  should  answer  basic  questions  on  the  emergence  and
characteristics  of  female  sexual  swellings  in  S.  concolor  and  provide  first  data  on behavioural correlates linked to this morphological phenomenon, not known from other
Asian Colobines. The study will form a basis for a longer term study on the reproductive biology of this  critically endangered primate species.

In  addition  the  study  will  also  ensure  that  individuals  of  S.  concolor  previously habituated  to  human  observers  will  not  loose  their  tolerance  towards  humans  within
their home range and it will enable the researchers to habituate other individuals recently immigrated into the study groups.
The  membership  of  the  study  groups  will  be  monitored  and  for  identification  of single monkeys, individual morphological characteristics will be documented by drawings

I will as a volunteer between 01112010 and 31072011 for the ongoing Macaca Fascicularis  project  supervised  by  Dr.  Antje  Engelhardt  on  the “Costs  of  mate-guarding
in  male  long-tailed  macaques  Macaca  Fascicularis”.  This  project  result  from  the collaboration  between  the  German  Primate  Center  DPZ,  Department  of  Reproductive
Biology,  the  Bogor  Agricultural  University  IPB  through  Dr.  Muhammad  Agil  from  the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, and the Universitas Syiah Kuala UNSYIAH Banda Aceh,
through Erdiansah, Ms.
My position in this project is a volunteer position. I will therefore NOT use any data of this project for the preparation of a thesis. The purpose of my involvement in the project
is to get practical training and field experience through this position. During my stay, I will help Cedric Girard-Buttoz, PhD student from the German Primate Centre in collecting
behavioural data, faecal and urine samples. His study aims at investigating the costs of mate-guarding in male long-tailed macaques. The most common reproductive strategy of
dominant males in multi-male multi-female groups is to mate guard females during their period of fertility. While mate-guarding behavior has been proven to increase mating and

reproductive success of male primates, little is known about the costs and limitation of this behavior. Although some costs have been measured, no study has so far comprehensively
investigated all potential sources of costs of mate-guarding. The main aim of the project is therefore to quantify costs and benefits of mate-guarding for male primates in multi-male
multi-female groups using the long-tailed macaques as a model species.

Abstrak
Not much is known on the vocal repertoire of great apes, our closest relatives, and in particular not on orangutans calls. Early studies only resulted in descriptions of calls, but
then mainly focused on male long calls. A recent study by Hardus at al. 2009 showed that orangutans have a very diverse vocal and sound repertoire, which underlines the view that
orangutans may have one of the richest repertoires among great apes and thus represent a model species for the evolutionary study of human speech in hominoids. To investigate
the  true  extent  of  orangutan  vocal  and  sound  capacities  and  behavioural  flexibility  in orangutan calls, the research by Hardus must be replicated in other sites. Establishing the
vocal repertoire of the orangutan at several sites may reveal more populations specific call types and also enables us to examine whether variations andor differences found may
be ascribed to local cultures. The study site of this research will be Suaq Balimbing, where orangutan vocalizations will be recorded, as well as information on the individual and its
environment, and will be analysed using the Raven software package.

Abstrak
While  sud-adult  male  orang-utans  appear  similar  to  females  in  their  morphology, dominants males are visibly distinct, They develop large cheek pads or ‘Facial flanges’,
though the reason for this is not fully understood. It may be that check pads render male orangutans  more  attractive  to  females,  resulting  in  greater  male  reproductive  success.
This  benefit  might  justify  the  initial  disadvantage  s  associated  with  developing  these ornaments, such as increased nutrient demands, greater inter male aggression and the
need for behavioral adaptations. The role of cheek pads in sexual selection can be assessed using paternity studies, though only two paternity studies have been conducted to date
and only one of these was in Borneo. Each found that flanged males only sired about half six of all offspring. In the proposed study, we will investigate paternity in two orang-utan
populations in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia: at Camp Leakey in Tanjung Puting National Park  and  in  the  Lamandau  River  Wildlife  reserve.  Out  study  will  go  beyond  previous
studies  of  social  dominance,  bima  tourism  and  reproductive  success  by  evaluating  the relative importance of male orang-utan cheek pads in sexual selection and reproductive
success. This will be considered in light of individual genetic traits and genetic disparity between breeding pairs. These results may also be of conservation value: the inclusion of
ex-captive populations in this study will help us to determine if reintroduction of captive orang-utan is available strategy for conservation of the species.

Abstrak
This  project  will  investigate  skill  learning  behavior  of  wild  immature  Sumatran orangutans. Special focus will be put on skill acquisition of independently ranging, weaned
immatures  in  order  to  get  insight  into  learning  behavior  during  the  period  between weaning  and  first  reproduction.  The  collected  data  will  be  entered  into  a  data  base
established by students of the University of Zurich who had conducted former projects on skill acquisition. Data of individuals of different age classes, collected during different
study periods will help to refine the understanding of skill acquisition of orangutans during immaturity. Data of Sumatran orangutans may be especially helpful, as so far skill learning
has primarily been investigated on Bornean orangutans. The data will be compared with the established data of Bornean orangutans to investigate potential differences between
the two populations. The aim of this project is to produce additional data to develop skill learning  trajectories  of  orangutans. This  will  finally  help  to  understand  the  derived  life
history of this species.
The  aim  of  this  project  is  to  investigate  skill  learning  behavior  of  immature orangutans.  Data  on  the  timing  of  the  acquisition  of  ecological,  social  and  technical
skills  will  help  to  refine  skill  learning  trajectories.  Understanding  when  animal  acquire different skills will help to get a better understanding of the comparably long period of
immaturity of orangutans. This will finally give insight into the derived life history of this species. Because of their remarkably long period of immaturity it will be very interesting
to  test  whether  the  skill  learning  hypothesis  or  the  expensive  brain  hypothesis  applies to orangutans. Different predictions about the development of skill competence can be
made for the two hypotheses:
101

2010
1. If  the  skill  learning  hypothesis  applies  to  orangutans  and  the  need  to  learn  skills
determines the pace of maturaion, immature would reach stable values of ecological competence around the age at irst reproducion. So unil the age of irst reproducion
orangutans would be expected to gradually acquire skills and knowledge needed for survival and successful reproducion.
2. The expensive brain hypothesis on the other hand suggest that it is not the number
of skills but the energy available that determines the length of immaturity. Therefore ecological competence is not expected to coincide with the age at irst reproducion.
To solve these question, data on the acquisition of ecological competence will be produced  by  studying  immatures  of  different  ages.  In  terms  of  feeding  competence,
diet composition, processing techniques including tool use, at least in Suaq Balimbing, feeding rates and range use features will be analyzed. Further the development of non
food  related skills will be described. Examples of non food related skills are technological skills ex.nest building or building of head covers against the rain, and social skills. Special
focus will be put on juveniles, which already range independently from their mothers as it is crucial to analyze akill acquisition during this period of life to test the two hypotheses.
Further,  the  collected  data  will  be  compared  with  data  on  the  development  of  skill competence of immature orangutans at the Tuanan study site in Borneo.

Abstrak
The  cultural  intelligence  hypothesis  states  that  the  conditions  for  social  learning during development affect how intelligent an individual can become, thus animals with
a similar brain size that grow up in a more complex social and cultural environment are capable of more cognitively complex behavior. The main goal of this PhD project will be to
test the cultural intelligence hypothesis on one of human’s closets relatives, the orangutan. Previously performed work on orangutans at both the islands of Borneo and Sumatra has
generated a very diverse picture regarding sociality. To this date documented variance in opportunities for social learning between our two chosen study populations, Tuanan in
east Kalimantan and Suaq Balimbing in Sumatra, is the basis for our interesting in testing the possible cognitive differences between these socially dissimilar populations. In this
study we aim to examine whether the differences between these populations caused by sociality, affects response to novelty, neophobia as well as general intelligence in form of
problem solving tasks. We will approach these goals by detailed field observations and an experimental set up at both sites. The study will be carried out approximately 10 months
at each study site, starting in May 2010.

Abstrak
Recent  studies  of  Bornean  orangutans  Pongo  pygmaeus  in  Central  Kalimantan have reported that this population prefers certain tree species for nest building. The aim of
this study is to investigate if Sumatran orangutans Pongo abelii at Suaq Balimbing, Aceh Selatan also show a preference for certain tree species and if the reason for their choice
are similar to the ones proposed for Bornean orangutans. The study will concentrate on two possible factors influencing nesting behavior: mosquito repellent effects of the nest
site and nesting position.
Field  experiments  have  already  shown  that  live  intact  plants  are  able  to  repel mosquitoes and studies of Bornean orangutans imply that they incorporate such parasite
repelling  abilities  of  tree  species  in  their  nesting  choice.  Thus  in  Suaq  leaves  of  trees often selected for nesting will be tested for possible mosquito-repelling properties using
mosquito traps. The nesting position influences to which extent the animal is exposed to rain and wind and those factors in turn impact on parasite abundance. How far nesting
position really affects exposure to such parasites will be examined using again mosquito traps.

Recent  studies  suggest  that  animal  play  is  an  important  behavioral phenotype,especially in the phase of an individual’s development and maturation phase.
Detailed  analyses  of  play  phenomenon  can  help  us  grow  our  understanding  of  the evolution  of  social  behavior  and  the  interaction  of  phylogeny,  ecology  and  behavioral
development Bekoff 1984. This study is a part of a larger project: “Testing the Cultural Intelligence Hypothesis in orangutan” and is focusing on the role of play among orangutan
infants.  We  aim  to  investigate  the  explorative  meaning  of  object  manipulation  and the  social  significance  of  play  with  conspecifics.  Further  we  intend  to  compare  playing
behavior  between  two,  socially  very  different  orangutan  populations,  Suaq  Balimbing, Sumatra and Tuanan, Kalimantan.

Abstrak
This study concerns the growing problems of crop raiding in subsistence farming communities  bordering  a  protected  area  and  will  examine  conflict  issues  in  relation  to
habitat degradation and fragmentation, wild food availability and competition for forest resources,  with  conservation  of  a  vulnerable  “flagship’  species  at  its  core.  Predicting
behavioural responses and survival probabilities for populations of threatened endemic species  in  human-dominated  and  changing  environments  are  global  concerns  facing
many primatologists. This problem is particularly acute for the Buton macaques Macaca ochreata brunnescens, which is endemic to Buton Island, southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia.
This  study  aims  to  investigate  wild  versus  cultivated  food  choice,  which  is  essential  for ensuring the survival of the Buton macaques in this agro forest ecotone. The ecological
determinants of crop raiding will be studied over an 18-month period, to assess feeding ecology in relation to forest phenology. Human-wildlife conflict, particularly crop-raiding
by  wildlife,  is  an  increasing  important  issue  for  social  and  natural  scientists  in  the  21st Century. The results of this PhD study will be used directly to support conservation efforts
for the Buton macaque and to benefit the people of Buton.

Abstrak
Sexual  dismorphism  is  common  in  a  wide  range  of  animal  species. Where  sexual selection  is  at  work,  males  often  exhibit  striking  seconday  sexual  characteristics. While
in most species all the males carry  these ornaments, in orang-utans, two different adult male  morphs  exits:  aflanged  and  an  unflanged  one.  Flenged  males,  which  tend  to  be
dominant  at  least  over  unflanged  males,  have  developed  cheek  flanges,  a  throat  sac, and have considerably grown in size and in weight. Unflanged males are sexually mature
as well, despite their arrested or delayed development of secondary sexual traits. These two forms of adult males follow different reproductive strategies. Females prefer flanged
males  and  are  attracted  by  their  long  calls,  vocalisations  that  can  be  heard  over  large distances. In Sumatra, unflanged  males are more  mobile and actively seek and pursue
females  who  often  refuse  their  mating  attempts,  which  results  in  forced  copulations. In  Borneo,  flanged  males  travel  on  the  ground  sometimes  and  in  addition  to  emitting
long calls may actively pursue females and may also engage in forced copulations. While males tend to dlay development of full secondary sexual characteristics in Sumatra, such
arrested development is probably less pronounced in Bornean orangutans.
Hormones play a substantial role in controlling the development of secondary sexual traits, mating strategies, and reproductive behaviour. Among these are testosterone, an
important androgen, and the stress hormone cortisol. This project aim to contribute to longterm investigation into the relationships between levels of testosterone and cortisol
with  dominance  rank,  long  call  vocaliasations,  and  different  developmental  stages  in Bornean Orang-utans Pongo pygmaues, in order to gain more insight into the function
and evolution of male bimaturism.

Abstrak
Primate  studies  have  traditionally  focused  on  primate  behaviour  in  habitats where  humans  are  absent. Yet,  a  continually  increasing  human  population  is  resulting
in  concomitantly  increasing  interactions-both  direct  and  indirect-between  human  and non-human primate populations. It is therefore critical to understand the consequences
of  human-non-human  primate  interactions  to  build  sound  conservation  policy  and implement  appropriate  tactics. Thus,  in  this  study  I  propose  to  evaluate  the  impact  of
human presence on non-human primate population viability, and address the following questions: 1 to what extent does human presence cause primates to alter their behaviors,
and; 2 do these behavioral alterations affect the survival of the species? Because primates are behaviorally flexible, exposure to humans often does not result in death or reproductive
cessation, however behavioral changes within a lifetime can alter activity budgets, which can influence individual fitness, which in turn can affect population growth rates. While
such changes may be insignificants in large populations, they may have large affects on small populations of animals. Therefore, I aim to address the question of how proximate
behavioral  responses  to  human  activity  by  the  endangered  Javan  gibbon  Hylobates Moloch may affect their long-term survival as a species.
Nature-based  tourism,  in  which  wildlife  or  natural  features  draw  tourists  to  a  site, but where tourists may or may not contribute to long term conservation, is a major source
of interaction between human and non-human primates. The intensity of nature-based
108

DIREKTORI PENELITIAN ASING DI INDONESIA
2010
tourism can vary from highly invasive, which would include provisioning and direct contact with  wildlife,  to  much  more  low  impact,  which  would  include  tourist  groups  viewing
wildlife with little interaction or ignoring wildlife completely, as wildlife viewing may not be an objective of the visit. Not all species suffer negative effects from tourism, such as
behavioral  alterations  and  increased  energy  expenditure  e.g.  black  striped  capuchins, Cebus libidinosus. However, even in cases where human actions e.g.noise from walking
in groups, talking, viewing animals are seemingly low impact, primates may alter their behaviors  in  the  presence  of  humans.  For  example,  black  howler  monkeys  Alouatta
pigra scatter, flee to higher in the canopy, or come to the ground when tourist groups are present  despite  years  of  exposure  to  them.  Pygmy  marmosets  Callithrix  pygmaea  will
increase their home-range size, travel to non-preferred strata levels, vocalize and engage in less frequent social play, and have fewer offspring when exposed to human presence.
Behavioral  changes  such  as  these  can  have  the  proximal  effect  of  raising  an individual’s  daily  energy  expenditure,  which  can  influence  total  fitness  and  individual
reproductive  output,  and,  ultimately-population  parameters.  Population  growth  is affected  by  the  birthrate  and  mortality  rate  of  a  species.  If  birthrate  is  greater  than
mortality rate, a population continues to increase, but if mortality exceeds birthrates, a population  will  decrease.  Behavioral  changes  are  unlikely  to  affect  an  individual  adult
animal’s survival, and therefore the adult mortality rate of a population. However, infant mortality rate can increase. Moreover, if animals are not able to compensate for changes
in energy expenditure-as a consequences, for example, of increased day range-birthrates can decrease as a consequences of less available energy devoted to reproduction. These
known  consequences  of  behavioral  and  reproductive  adjustments  to  human  presence result in slowed population growth. Large populations have a greater capacity to withstand
demographic  stochasiticy  than  small  and  isolated  populations,  and  Javan  gibbons are  restricted  to  many  small,  isolated  populations  throughout  the  island  of  Java  Large-
bodied, slow-growing mammalian species such as gibbons living in small populations are at greatest risk for extinction and are especially sensitive to changes in growth rates; a
shrinking population can easily result in local extinction of that population, which impacts the ultimate survival of the species.
My  goal  is  this  pilot  study  is  to  investigate  the  effects  of  incidental  nature-based tourism i.e. tourism geared towards nature viewing but not towards animal viewing, so
contact with animals is incidental on Javan gibbon behavior. Javan gibbons are endemic to the Western half of Java, and are critically endangered. Over 91 of the forets cover in
Java has been lost, but deforestation has slowed considerably in recent years, and most gibbons now live in small, protected reserves that are frequently utilized by the people
living nearby. Therefore, this species fate in large part relies on how well they can survive and deal with anthropogenic stressors in the remaining fragments. My specific research
goal is to address this issue by assessing the ability of one population of Javan gibbons to acclimate to human proximity, which is often a direct consequence of fragmentation.
I  propose  to  conduct  research  on  Javan  gibbons  living  in  the  Cagar  Alam  Leuweung Sancang CALS,West Java. My research design will center on comparing individual animal
behavior when in the presence of tourist to animal behavior when humans are absent; additionally I will compare gibbon groups with a history of interaction with humans to
gibbon groups with no such history of interaction.

Abstrak
Siberut island of the Mentawai archipelago off the west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia, harbours  four  of  five  primate  species  endemic  to  the  archipelago:  Simias  concolor,
Hylobates klossii, Macaca siberu, and Presbytis potenziani. All four species are IUCN listed as globally threatened, assessed in 2009, suggesting declining population trends; recently
three of the four species were uplisted, highlighting importance for conservation action.
Siberut primates face threats from habitat loss due to looging and agriculture, and also of hunting for food.
This project assessed population densities for all four species at the field site of the Siberut Conservation Project in North Siberut, which is currently a safe haven for primates
but  is  potentially  affected  by  very  recent  logging  in  the  region.  A  combination  of  two different methods to estimate species abundance and densities was used; line-transects
and triangulation, which is a common method of auditory sampling to estimate gibbon densities.
The  study  took  place  between  30th    of    August  and  30th  of    November  2010.  A line  transect  survey  effort  of  155  km  was  achieved.  In  this  report  we  analysed  data
up  to  148  km  and  sighted  a  total  of  478  primate  groups  including  auditory  and  visual counts. S. concolor was counted 222, P.potenzia 70, H.klossii 100 and M.siberu 82 times.
In  comparison  to  result  from  2005  it  seems  that  S.concolor,  P.potenziani  and  H.klosii increased  there  densities  slightly  whereas  M.siberu  seems  to  have    a  slight  decrease  in
population size compared to 2005. If the differences are statistically significant must still be analysed. The differences could be because of agriculture conversion of land at the SCP
border and the use of ground traps in which whole M.siberu families can be caught might have had an influence. To make a more accurate statement further data analysis is needed.
Triangulation was conducted at four different locations, with each three listening posts, within the study area. Data were collected on three up to four consecutive days at each
site. The result have shown a slightly lower density of H.klosii then we achieved by the census, but also for the data gained by triangulation further analysis is needed.

Abstrak
Extant  apes  have  served  as  models  for  reconstructing  ape  and  human  ancestors. Many of these models assume an ancestor that was Asian ape-like. The purpose of this
study  is  to  document  the  feedingforaging  strategies,  positional  behavior,  and  ranging behaviors of sympatric Sumatran gibbons Hylobates agilis and siamangs Symphalangus
syndactylus.
Hylobatids are the first of the extant apes to diverge from the human ancestral line. They  are  exclusively  arboreal  and  exhibit  considerable  variation  in  body  size.  Previous
work has demonstrated that body size is associated with differences in primate positional behavior  and  range  use;  however,  gibbons  and  siamangs  are  relatively  understudied
in  these  regards. The  Asian  hylobatids  provide  an  interesting  case  study  of  alternative ecological strategies among sympatric arboreal frugivores.
Observations  of  wild  gibbons  and  siamangs  will  be  conducted  at  West  Batang Toru Forest Black, Sumatra, Indonesia. Associations between body size, feedingforaging
strategies, positional behavior, and range use of these, the taxonomically most primitive and arboreal extant apes, will be sought. Identifications of these associations will improve
the current understanding of selective pressure that may have contributed to the evolution of apes and humans.
Broader  Impact:  A  key  factor  for  all  conservation  efforts  is  an  understanding  of the  community  ecology  of  a  given  ecosystem.  This  study  provides  data  on  the  forest
utilization of wild sympatric gibbon and siamang populations. The hylobatids are key to understanding the overall primate biota of the West Batang Toru Forest Block, as they are
two of the main resource competitors of the critically endangered Sumatran orangutan Pongo abelii.

Abstrak
This project aims to study ranging and its flexibilities in Pongo pygmaeus morio, the orangutans of E Kalimantan. New comparison show morio as the extreme of orangutan
adaption:  morio  faces  the  harshest  environment  and  my  therefore  have  distinct morphology,  behavior,  and  life  history.  Most  morio  data  are  20-25  year  old,  however.
They not good enough verify these distinctions, they suggest others difference, and they represent conditions that may no longer exits because natural disasters and development
since damaged and fragmented much of morio’s habitat. New studies of morio are then needed, and ranging is good place of start. Orangutan ranging is determined mainly by
two resources, fruit and mating partners, but there biology and ecology make it extremely complex. First orangutan have enormous food need because of their extremely large size,
but  they  live  in  forests  know  for  poor,  irregular  food  productivity  .  Second  their  main foods  are  patchy  in  time  and  space,  so  their  ranging  must  be  flexible. Third  orangutan
must learn their complex ranging skill but they do so very slowly because they develop extremely slowly. Studying ranging then offer a good view of how orangutan use space
and resources, including those caused by habitat change. In addition to enhancing our understanding of orangutan biology, ranging studies may contribute to managing morio-
human conflicts by improving understanding of why and how morio change their ranging patterns  and  where  they  cannot.  Objectives  of  this  project  include  reassessing  morio
ranging and flexibilities by assessing long-term ranging patterns in normal habitat and, as possible, in extreme damaged and unfamiliar habitat. Concepts and methods developed

Abstrak
This  study  has  two  main  objectives.  Firs,  it  aims  to  determine  the  variation  in  the orangutan acoustic repertoire of four study populations three on Sumatra, one on Borneo.
Variation can occur on two levels : 1 Variation in the acoustical structure of the same call type  e.g. long calls between contexts, sexes andor individuals and populations and 2
presenceabsence of certain call types in one population but not in another population. Both levels of variation are known to occur in orangutans but have not been documented
well  for  noteworthy  studies  on  this  subject  see  van  Schaik  et  al.  2006,  Hardus  et  al.  in prep.  There  are  three  factors  that  are  important  to  explain  both    levels  of  variation  :
genetic, ecological, and social transmission cultural. Addressing both levels of variation will provide us with a detailed database on orangutan calls that can be used to carefully
examine the factors affecting this variation. This part of the study will therefore focus on variation in orangutan vocalization on all levels and will provide us with the first detailed
results on variation in a board array of orangutan vocalizations between study sites. In case some acoustic variation andor repertoire patterns can not be explained by ecological or
genetic factors between orangutans populations, these could represent dialects.
The second aim of this study is to examine the semantic content of orangutan calls. Observational  studies  of  variation  in  the  same  call  types  in  relation  to  context  indicate
these vocalizations may have referential meaning e.g. Notman  Rendall 2005. The most recent descriptive work on orangutan repertoire Hardus et al. in prep has also revealed
the  existence  of  contextual  variation  in  several  orangutan  calls.  When  orangutans consistently show particular responses to particular calls, these calls can be used in play-

back  experiments  to  determine  whether  orangutans  can  obtain  information  about  the events in the environment from calls of others.
Both these objectives will enlarge our understanding of the roots of human vocal behavior and the emergence of language.

Abstrak
The basis of survival, growth and reproduction for all animals, so also for orangutans, is  foraging.  A  central  question  in  ecological  studies  is  why  and  how  animals  select  the
foods that comprise their diets. It is known that for orangutans, the development of food choice is likely to be a combination of individual and social learning, but strong evidence
remains absent. Orangutans are highly threatened and the severest threat is loss of habitat due to logging. A loss of habitat will influence food availability and learning opportunities
thus will interfere with orangutans foraging strategies. Investigating feeding habits and transmission  of  such  behaviours  in  orangutans  will  enable  us  to  understand  how  tree
species  and  forest  composition  influence  ultimately  one  of  the  highest  levels  of  social behavior in animal – the emergence of culture. In addition, this study will broaden our
knowledge  of  the  origin  of  culture  in  hominin  evolution.  The  Ketambe  area  Leuser Ecosystem, Aceh provides a unique opportunity to investigate this, since part of the area
has  been  subject  to  logging  during  the  Aceh  conflict  and  research  on  orangutans  had been conducted for 30 years prior to logging.

Abstrak
The basis of survival, growth and reproduction for all animals is faraging. A central question in behavioral and ecological studies is why and how animals select the foods
that comprise their diets. It is known that for orangutans, the development of  food choice is likely to be a combination of individual and social learning, but strong evidence remains
absent. Ecological factors such as food availability and food nutritional and mechanical properties are known to influence diet, however individual’s body size and rank may also
play an important role. This study will examine long term orangutan data to assess the development  of  diet  in  particular  individuals,  from  childhood  to  adulthood.  According
to  the Theory  of  Optimal  Foraging,  all  individuals  will  tend  to  maximize  their  intake  of energy and thus, one may expect that development of diet from childhood to adulthood
is equivalent between individuals and consequently that they will show similar i.e. high degree of overlap diets. At the same, orangutans have been shown to rely on innovation
and social learning to acquire new behaviors into their repertoire. The results of this study will  ultimately  indicate  if  orangutan  diet  is  strictly  ecology  driven,  or  if  individual  and
social factors also determine the diet of a particular individual.

Abstrak
The aim of this project is to investigate individual differences in several temperamental traits  and  social  competence  in  orangutans  Pongo  pygmaeus,  chimpanzees  Pan
troglodytes,  and  human  children  Homo  sapiens.  How  a  species  or  individual  reacts emotionally  differs  in  temperament  to  various  environmental  stimuli  can  play  an
important  role  in  explaining  differences  in  their  behavioural  phenotype  Fairbanks  et al. 2004; Hare, 2007. In human children, it has been shown that differences in emotion-
related regulatory capacities are associated with high levels of social competence in their daily life. For example, differences in being able to inhibit a dominant response and acting
flexibly  in  a  given  situation  is  related  with  children’s  socially  appropriate  and  prosocial behavior  Eisenberg  et  al.  1995,1997,  Murphy  et  al  2004.  The  majority  of  research  on
temperament in humans and non-human primates has focused on individual variability in temperamental traits within a single species and comparisons across species are mostly
neglected Gosling 2001; Kagan  Snidman 2004.
Until now very little is known about individual differences in the non-human great apes, in general, and especially in regard to their temperament. One reason is that most
of  the  behavioural  research  done  in  the  past  was  conducted  with  very  few  individuals and  with  different  methods,  wich  made  it  impossible  to  investigate  their  individual
differences systematically. Further, there has been no systematic study that investigated similarities  and  differences  in  temperamental  traits  between  humans  and  their  closest
living relatives the non-human apes. Therefore, this project will compare the reaction of human children, orangutans and chimpanzees to novelty and uncertainty. Moreover, we
118

will investigate if individual temperamental predisposition can predict social competence in each species. We developed six temperamental tasks that can be used to assess and
document the individual differences of orangutans, chimpanzees and human children in a standardized manner. In addition we developed a social competence task for orangutans
and chimpanzees which investigates each individual social tolerance over food. Moreover, social competence will be assessed by a questionnaire. In this project we also want to find
out if age and sex can have an influence on individual differences.

Abstrak
Sexual  dimorphism  is  common  in  a  wide  range  of  animal  species.  Where  sexual selection is at work, males often exhibit striking secondary sexual characteristics. While in
most species all the males carry these ornaments, in orang-utans, two different adult male morphs exist: a flanged and an unflaged one. Flanged males, which tend to be dominant
at  least  over  unflanged  male,  have  developed  cheekflanges,  a  throat  sac,  and  have considerably grown in size and in weight. Unflenged males are sexually mature as wekk,
despite their arrested or delayed development of secondary sexual traits. These two forms of adult males follow different reproductive strategies. Females prefer flanged males and
areattracted  by  their  long  calls,  vocalizations  that  can  be  heards  over  large  distances. In  Sumatra,  unflanged  males  are  more  mobile  and  actively  seek  and  pursue  females
who  often  refuse  their  mating  attemps,  which  results  in  forced  copulations.  In  Borneo, flanged  males  travel  on  the  ground  sometimes  and  in  additional  to  emiting  long  calls
may actively pursue females and may also engage in forced copulations. While males tend to delay development of full secondary sexual characteristics in Sumatra, such arrested
development is probably less pronounced in Bornean orangutans.

Hormones  plays  s  substantial  role  in  controlling  the  development  of  secondary sexual traits, mating strategies, and reproductive behavior. Among these are testosterone,
an important androgen, and the stress hormone sortisol. This Project aims to contribute to a longterms investigation into the relationship between levels of testosterone and cortisol
with dominance rank, long call Pongo pygmaeus, in order to gain more insight into the function and evolution of male bimaturism.
Field work will be carried out at the Tuanan Field Station in Kalteng in Borneo, and will be part of the ongoing research under the Memorandum of understanding between
the UNAS of Jakarta UNAS and the Anthropologial Institute  Museum of the University of Zurich AIM and BOSMawas. Faecal samples will be collected for hormonal analyses
in  collaboration  with  the Vetrinary  Hormone  Lab  at  IPB  and  faecal  samples  for  genetic identity analyses are collected in collabotion with the Pusat Primata at IPB.

Abstrak
The  concept  of  general  intelligence  was  developed  for  humans,  but  recent  work demonstrating its existence in nonhuman primates suggests evolutionary continuity. The
adaptive significance of general intelligence must lie in the set of learned skills it generates for its bearer, rather than in an abstract ability per se. The cultural intelligence hypothesis
claims that the conditions for social learning during development affect how intelligent an individual can become, by affecting how many learned skills an individual can acquire.
It  also  claims  that  on  evolutionary  timescales,  these  conditions  affect  selection  of  the underlying  learning  ability.  Here,  we  plan  to  test  the  developmental  version,  especially
the predictions i that animals in populations with more opportunities for social learning, and thus a greater repertoire of learned skills, should show greater intelligence problem-
solving ability when tested, and ii that the increased learning ability is likely to make the animals more exploratory and less novelty-averse. We intend to test these predictions
by comparing wild orangutans on Borneo and Sumatra, which are known to differ widely in  sociability  and  therefore  opportunities  foe  social  learning  and  repertoires  of  cultural
variants, and as a control test the same two taxa in captivity, where the social conditions are  much  more  similar  and  constant  proximity  with  conspecifics  and  humans  should
produce  better  opportunities  for  social  learning.  We  expect  to  find  i  a  pronounced difference in general intelligence in the wild and no or a much smaller one in captivity,

thus  linking  early  conditions  to  the  cognitive  skill  set  of  adults  and  ii  a  pronounced difference between the captive and the wild populations, with captive ones having better
current  learning  abilities.  Importantly,  we  will  simultaneously  identify  the  responsible processes as much as possible. If the results emerge as predicted, this will bolster the idea
that intelligence, innovation and culture as socially transmitted information are causally linked, and thus support the cultural intelligence hypothesis, the evolutionary version of
which states that systematic differences in the efficiency of learning across populations or species should lead to variable thresholds of selection on the innate learning ability
due to the feedback on fitness through the set of learned skills. Comparative tests of the evolutionary predictions of the cultural intelligence hypothesis are planned.

The genus Macaca is unique among the non-human primates for the range of habitats it has colonised. Ten macaque species inhabit the Indonesian archipelago Fooden, 1980;
Groves, 1980; Groves, 1996, Evans et al., 1999. This is the only area in the world where oceanic islands are sufficiently stocked by primates to allow significant assessment of the
population in terms of evolution and conservation Abegg et al, 2002. Due to its geological and zoogeographical separation for 0.5 – 1.0 Mio years, the Mentawai islands off Sumatras
west coast are characterized by an unusual high rate of endemism. All of the five currently recognized primate species, namely the Kloss gibbon Hylobates klossii, Pig tailed langur
Simias concolor,  Mentawai langur Presbytis potenziani the Siberut macaque Macaca siberu and the Mentawai macaque Macaca pagensis are endemic to this archipelago

Watanabe, 1981; Roos et al., 2003; Ziegler et al. 2007. The populations of these primate species are threatened by various factors, e.g. legal and illegal logging, conversion of the
forest  into  oil  palm  plantations,  forest  clearing  and  product  extraction  by  local  people, hunting and pet trade Whittaker, 2006. The aims of the study are:
1. To  compare  structural  features  and  usage  of  loud  calls  in  macaques  from  diferent
Mentawai islands. 2.
To  clairy  the  taxonomic  relaionship  of  Macaca  siberu  and  Macaca  pagensis  at  a biological level.
3. To evaluate the role of loud calls in the progress of speciicaion.
The study will be carried out on Siberut, the northernmost and largest island of the Mentawai  Islands,  situated  on  the  offshore  of  Sumatra  and  comprising  approximately
4,030 km2. Siberut is generally hilly, although the highest elevation is only 384m above sea  level  Watanabe,  1981.  The  study  site  is  situated  in  the  Peleonan  Forest,  Norhern
Siberut, and is part of the Siberut Conversion Project. For the latter half of the total time period, the experiment will be based at a second, not yet determined location, on one of
the other islands of the Mentawai archipelago.
Due to the geographical separation of Mentawai macaques we expect substantial differences in the structure of loud calls of Macaca siberu and Macaca pagensis.

Abstrak
This  research  will  study  Kloss’  Gibbon  on  the  Island  of  Siberut  in  the  Mentawai Archipelago. Siberut Island is 403,000 ha and is the largest island in the Mentawai chain.
It lies about 135 km off the coast of West Sumatra and has been separated from mainland Sumatra  for  at  least  500,000  years  Eliot    Bickersteth,  2000;  Asian  Development  Bank,
2001. The island is hilly and heavily forested including mangrove, swamp, and dipterocarp forests and there is almost daily rainfall Hess, 2005. Daily temperatures range from 22 oC
to 31 oC Meyers, 2006. Aims of the study are :
1. to compare Kloss gibbon songs Hylobates klossii in two diferently forested habitats,
i.e. lowland rainforest and peat swamp forest. 2.
to describe possible vocal lexibility in Kloss gibbon songs. 3.
to determine the extend to which gibbons use the peat swamp forest as home range habitat.
Different groups of Kloss gibbons will be recorded in two locations. The first location is  the  SCP  field  station  within  the  primary  rainforest.  The  second  location  is  the  peat
swamp forest near the ecolodge on the northern coast of Siberut. The transition between peat swamp forest and primary lowland forest occurs approximately 2.5 – 3.5 km away
from the seashore. Both locations have a transect system which can be used to find and allow gibbons Ziegler et al., 2005; Quinten, 2008.
The result will show whether Kloss gibbon are able to adapt their songs to different environmental  conditions.  Further,  the  results  will  enhance  our  knowledge  about  the
possibility of Kloss gibbon to use peat swamp forest habitats and therefore give us further implications for conservation.

Abstrak
Both species of Bornean Gibbons Hylobates albibarbis and Hylobates Muelleri are threatened by the destructrion of their habitat or its conversion to agriculture land and
are  listed  as  Endangered  on  the  IUCN  Red  List  of Threatened  species  2008.  In  order  to inform conservation plans to protect those species and their habitat, understanding the
complex links between forest and the density of the Gibbon population they can support is essential. Previous research, undertook at the M.Sc. level at Oxford Brookes University,
showed that the density of H. Albibaribis was strong correlated with vegetation variables in  the  peat-swamp  forest  ecosystem  of  the  Sabangau  cathment,  in  Indonesian  Borneo,
Gibbons were found to be present at higher density where large, high trees remainded, with good canopy cover, Food availability was found to be weakly correlated with gibbon
density. Building on these resulths, the proposed study will seek to confirm the existence of such correlations in Sabangau.

Abstrak
In Sabangau, I aim to study how Bornean southern gibbon dueting frequency and song  duration  correlates  to  affiliative  social  behaviors  such  as  grooming,  mating  and
play and agonistic behaviors such as chasing, biting, grabbing, and fear grimace facial features.  I  predict  that  increased  dueting  within  a  mated  pair  is  positively  correlated
with affiliative behaviors grooming, mating, and play, and is negatively correlated with aggressive behaviors chasing, biting, and grabbing. I hope to add to current scarce data
on Bornean southern gibbon vocalization and the literature on the function of dueting behavior in gibbons.

Ecological  conditions  are  known  to  influence  the  social  structure  of  most  animal species. The  extent  and  complexity  of  this  influence  and  the  characteristics  of  such  an
interaction  are,  however,  not  yet  fully  understood.  Food  resources  and  their  properties e.g. distribution, quality and abundance play a central role in the interaction between
ecology and sociality as they are the shaping factors of all types of food competition, one of  the  major  costs  group-living  animals  are  facing.  Primate  species  show  pronounced
differences  in  both  their  social  structure  and  habitat  ecology  and  are  thus  appropriate taxa for such investigations.
The present study aims to contribute to the understanding of these questions by investigating the feeding ecology and patterns of food competition in Siberut macaques
Macaca siberu, an endangered species endemic to the small island of Siberut Indonesia, which is part of one of the biodiversity hotspots in the world. Specifically, we will investigate
i the influence of food resource characteristics on the mode of feeding competition and its social consequences, ii how seasonality in the habitat affects seasonality in reproduction,
and iii how nutritional and social conditions affects physiological stress levels.
After  the  habituation  of  two  groups,  detailed  behavioural  data  e.g.  agonistic interactions, group spread, home range size, feeding party composition and ecological
data e.g. food resource distribution, abundance, quality and phenology will be collected, accompanied  by  chemical  analysis  of  food  items  and  hormonal  data  on  stress  levels,
physical condition and female reproductive success. Results of this study will provide the first detailed description of ecological characteristics of the habitat of Siberut macaques,
and are thus an important basis for conservation plans of this endangered primate species. Results of this study will also help to explain and understand the interactions between
ecology  and  social  structure  and  thus  further  the  development  of  general  theoretical concepts.

Abstrak
In the last 50 years,the island of Borneo has lost over 56 of its lowland rainforest and is currently losing more than 1.2 million hectares annually to deforestation. Conservation
strategies  for  threatened  biodiversity  are  therefore  rapidly  required  to  ensure  its  long term survival. Pre-requisites, such as home-range reqirements and resource competition
are  vital  for  informing  such  actions.  However,  studies  of  the  maroon  langur,  Presbytis rubicunda-an  endemic  to  Borneo-have  thus  far  yielded  published  results  at  only  three
sites. An ecological study of  P. rubicunda has not been conducted in almost 25 years, and populations whose ranges are restricted to peat swamp forest have never been studied.
P.  rubicunda  is  currently  listed  as  Least  Concern  on  the  IUCN  Red  List.  However,  the extreme level of deforestation of both peat swamp forests and lowland forest in general;
the lack of data available on the species and fact that the category of Endangered being assigned to its’ better-studied sympatric primate species due to rapid habitat loss orang-
utans and gibbons is impetus for reassessing its status. Currently, long-term behavioural ecology projects of Bornean orangutans and southern gibbons are ongoing in the Natural
Laboratory for the Study of Peat swamp Forest LAHG, Sabangau Forest under The Center for International Cooperation in Sustainable Management of Tropical Peatland CIMTROP
based at the University of Palangka Raya, Central Kalimantan. A research project began in  October  2009  to  assess  density  estimates,  conservation  status,  and  behavioural  and
feeding ecology P. rubicunda in the Sabangau Forest. This project intends to compliment that study by investigating home-range and habitat use of  P. rubicunda in the Sabangau

Abstrak
In order to survive in a complex tropical environment, orangutans must cope with an unpredictable spatial and temporal distribution of food sources. The objective of this
study is to examine foraging efficiency in wild orangutans by applying concepts from the Optimal Foraging Theory OFT to foraging and travel behavior in wid Bornean orangutans
Pongo Pygmaeus Wurmbii. Orangutans are an ideal species for testing principles derived from optimal foraging theory because they are often solitary and foraging decisions are
unlikely to be influenced by other individuals. We will initially examine simple questions regarding  orangutan  foraging  efficiency  including:  Is  there  a  relationship  between
species profitability and preferences? Are fruits more preferred relative to non-fruit item type? Is there a relationship between feeding bout length and food item type? Is there a
relationship between foraging efficiency and food item type? We will study 35 habituated individuals  at  the Tuanan  Research  Station  from  April  2010-March  2011  located  in  the
MAWAS Reserve, Central Kalimantan. This study is part of the long-term research project that  has  been  conducted  at  Tuanan  by  Dr.  Erin  Vogel  in  collaboration  with  Dr.  Carel
van  Schaik, Tatang  Mitra  Setia,  and  Dr.  Suci  Utami-Atmoko. We  will  use  a  combination of  methods  including  full-day  focal  follows,  fruit  sample  collection,  processing,  and
nutritional analyses conducted by LIPI in Indonesia, GPS mapping of daily routes, and computer modeling.
It  has  been  demonstrated  that  ecologically  naïve  ex-captive  orangutans  struggle with identifying suitable food items upon release into their natural habitat Russon 2003.
Our study will provide crucial information on the role that diet optimization nutrition and  cognition  play  in  diet  selection  in  wild  orangutans,  which  can  then  be  applied  to
help  shape  reintroduction  efforts  currently  underway. We  will  also  identify  which  food resources  are  most  preferred  by  wild  orangutans,  providing  valuable  information  on
which  tree  species  should  be  planted  during  reforestation  efforts  by  BOS-F  personel. Finally, our approach involves the participation and training of local Indonesian scientist,
students, and local assistants in the process of empirical measurement. We anticipate on publishing  our  results  in  international  scientific  journals  and  presenting  our  results  at
scientific conferences, UNAS Jakarta, and BOS-MAWAS Palangkaraya.
