...Recent advances in the standardization of positional mode classifications (Hunt et al., 1996), which advocate approaching locomotion from a biomechanical perspective, have opened the way for a comprehensive and meaningful analysis of primate positional behavior....

...The area is covered by pristine rain forest on riverine terraces located along the course of the Alas River, and was described in detail by Rijksen (1978) and van Schaik and Mirmanto (1985)....

...Once located, the orangutans were followed for a maximum of 5 consecutive days from when they left their night nest until they built their next night nest, and on at least two separate occasions....

...It is obviously impossible to differentiate every movement, and as Hunt et al. (1996) argued, neither is it desirable, as it is equally impossible to analyze the anatomical implications of each of a near-infinite roster of positional classifications....

...Thus, at the mode level, pronograde stand subsumes all pronograde compressive postures, including those classified under stand mode by Hunt et al. (1996) and contralateral and ipsilateral compression, which are submodes novel to orangutans....
