Asian primate classification
D. Brandon-Jones,A. A. Eudey,Thomas Geissmann,Colin P. Groves,Don J. Melnick,Juan Carlos Morales,Myron Shekelle,Caro-Beth Stewart +7 more
TL;DR: The Asian primate classification that is presented is the outcome of electronic communication among the co-authors after a workshop, which was especially convened to attempt to determine the number of recognizable primate subspecies and to identify potentially recognizable subspecies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Duet‐splitting and the evolution of gibbon songs
TL;DR: This appears to be the first time that a non‐duetting animal can be shown to be derived from a duetting form, and the return to exclusive solo singing may be related to the isolated island distribution of the non-duetting species.
Journal ArticleDOI
The relationship between duet songs and pair bonds in siamangs, Hylobates syndactylus
TL;DR: The recording of daily frequency and duration of duetting and three generally accepted indicators of pair bond strength in siamangs suggested that the production of coordinated duets by siamang pairs is related to pair bonding.
Status reassessment of the gibbons: Results of the Asian Primate Red List Workshop 2006
Thomas Geissmann,Noviar Andayani,Bill Bleisch,Nguyen Manh Ha,Vincent Nijman,Ben Rawson,Matthew C. Richardson,Carl Traeholt,Joe Walston,Danielle J. Whittaker,Eric. Meijaard +10 more
TL;DR: The status of East Asian primate taxa was reassessed for the IUCN Red List at a workshop held from September 8 12, 2006, in Phnom Penh, Cambodia and the resulting new information on their taxonomy, geographic range, population size, major threats, conservation measures, and conservation status is summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular Phylogeny of the Major Hylobatid Divisions
Christian Roos,Thomas Geissmann +1 more
TL;DR: The authors' data show that the molecular distances among the four gibbon subgenera are in the same range as those between Homo and Pan, or even higher, and it is proposed to raise all four gibbonsSubgenera to genus rank.
