Nest Characteristics of the Sumatran Orangutan () in the Wildlife Sanctuary Soraya Station in Aceh Province, Indonesia.

Orangutans ( spp.) populations used to be widely distributed throughout Southeast Asia, from Java in the south to the Southern China in the north during the Pleistocene. Their populations have declined up to 75% of their original size and are now distributed only in parts of the tropical rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra.

Immunohistochemical Expression of AQP2 and HSP70 in Broiler Kidney Tissue Treated with Roxb. Extract under Heat Exposure.

The administration of plant extracts to broilers may be a way to mitigate the effects of heat stress. The importance of AQP2 and HSP70 compounds in maintaining the homeostasis of the chicken body when it is subjected to heat stress is well established. This study aims to determine the effect of giving the ethanolic extract of the leaves of Roxb.

Androgen correlates of male reproductive effort in wild male long-tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis): A multi-level test of the challenge hypothesis.

The challenge hypothesis (Wingfield et al., 1990) has been broadly utilised as a conceptual framework to study male androgen correlates of reproductive challenges in mammals. These studies mainly assessed male androgen responsiveness to a general degree of challenge over extended periods of time.

Costs of mate-guarding in wild male long-tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis): physiological stress and aggression.

Mate-guarding is an important determinant of male reproductive success in a number of species. However, it is known to potentially incur costs. The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of mate-guarding on male physiological stress and aggression in long-tailed macaques, a species in which males mate-guard females to a lesser extent than predicted by the Priority of Access model (PoA).

Costs of and Investment in Mate-Guarding in Wild Long-Tailed Macaques (): Influences of Female Characteristics and Male-Female Social Bonds.

Male primates living in multimale groups tend to direct mate and mate-guarding choices toward females of high reproductive value, i.e., high-ranking, parous females, or females with which they share strong bonds.

Mate-guarding constrains feeding activity but not energetic status of wild male long-tailed macaques ().

Mate-guarding is an important determinant of male reproductive success in a number of species. Little is known however about the constraints of this behaviour, e.g.
