We exposed Sumatran orangutan (Pongo abelii) orphans from tool-using and non-tool-using regions (western swamps...

Which factors determine orangutan nests’ detection probability along nest-count transects

Effective conservation needs a solid baseline of animal distribution, density, and abundance data to base management strategies on and evaluate the effectiveness of conservation efforts on the species of interest. For many species it is not feasible to directly count individuals, and scientists are forced to use indirect methods that can provide estimates of density and abundance. For orangutan...
