feed on a large variety of foods. Figs and other small, sweet fruits are preferred, but young leaves, buds, flowers, new shoots, berries, vines, vine shoots, insects (including mantids and wasps), and bird eggs are also consumed. They are known to eat parts of more than 100 species of plants. Diet varies considerably with seasons; for example, in Khao Yai National Park, non-fig fruits dominate the diet throughout the year except in November-December. There, flowers are most available during the cool season, while ripe fruit is most abundant during the hot-wet seasons. Ripe fruit is preferred when available, with the diet being more diversified when ripe fruit is less available during the cool season. Fruit (including figs) never falls below 50% of the diet year-round. Overall, the average diet is composed of 66% fruit, 24% leaves, 9% insects, and 1% flowers.

has a menstrual cycle of 21-2-22 days (range 15-25 days). In the wild, females reproduce for the first time when about eleven years old (range 9 years and nine months to twelve years and nine months). At a minimum, the interbirth interval is three years and averages 3-4 years. If a female loses a baby, she may ovulate again sooner, but the average interbirth interval in a population at carrying capacity is c.3-5 years. Females exhibit swelling, protrusion, and a change in the color of the sexskin beginning several days before ovulation and ending after ovulation, usually lasting c.7-11 days. Pregnant females also show sexual swelling at random times during pregnancy. Females start to show a conspicuous swelling of the vulva by the third month of pregnancy. Mating occurs in every month of the year, but most conceptions occur during the dry season (March). Sexual solicitation by the female involves her placing herself in front of a male and looking back at him, presenting her genitals. Copulation is dorso-ventral, with the male behind the female. Females may refuse copulation by moving away from the male, calling, or agonistically refusing his advances. Male-male mounting has been observed among wild male

show that solid food is first ingested at four months of age. The wild infant also starts moving a short distance from its mother at that age. The ability to brachiate was first seen in a captive infant around nine months old. Infants are weaned at about 28 months old. Infant mortality is generally low, less than 10% in the first year oflife. Juveniles of both sexes reach adult size at aboutsix years of age, but they remain with their natal group until they reach sexual maturity at around 8-9 years. Generation length of

in Thailand are active for an average of 8-7 hours/day, leaving their sleeping sites around sunrise and entering sleeping trees an average of 3-4 hours before sunset. If the morning is clear before dawn, an adult male emits his solo calls, usually from his sleeping tree. At sunrise when all members of a group awaken, they defecate and urinate while hanging from a branch. The group then movesto a feeding tree. There is normally a duet call among the adult pair before noon, and the rest of the day is spent alternating between feeding and traveling to new trees to feed. With seasonal reductions in the amount of available fruit, feeding time increases and correspondingly less time is spent in social activities. The group usually pauses each day for about an hour of rest and social activities.

live in serial monogamous pairs with up to four offspring in each group, but occasionally they are found in socially polyandrous groups (a female and two adult males); sometimes sexual relationships can extend beyond the mated pair (extrapair copulations), and polygamous mating has also been observed. Long-term data indicate that females may live in several different types of groups (e.g. pair or multimale) over their lifetimes. In the case of extrapair copulation by females, however, the frequency of copulation remains much higher with the pair-mate than with other males. Censuses at Khao Yai National Park from 1992 to 2007 recorded an average proportion of pairs of 76-9% (n = 120), with multimale—unifemale (polyandrous) groups accounting for 21-:2% (n = 33, groups with mature male offspring excluded).

. In the case of individual pair-bonds, changes can result from desertion (often for another mate), replacement of one of a pair by a peripheral individual, or disappearance or death of one of the adults. Changes in pair composition can be common due to disease, shortage of food resources, and fragmented and isolated forests. Pair bonds are normally life-long. Average group size in

generally increases with latitude, illustrating that group size is not a useful species-specific character in gibbons. This reflects a general trend of increasing birth rate with latitude found in many vertebrate groups. Average group sizes have been reported at 2-7-3-3 individuals in Peninsular Malaysia, 3-7 in central Thailand, and 4-4—4-9 in northern Thailand. Home ranges are 12-54 ha, averaging c.40 ha, with highs of 44-54 ha on the Malay Peninsula and c.16 ha in Khao Yai National Park. While home ranges of different groups often overlap, sometimes extensively, there is a core territory defended from other groups that averages 76% of the home range. Average daily movementis 1400 m, although there is considerable variation among study sites. Daily movements tend to increase with greater fruit availability. Group progressions at some locations are usually led by an adult male, while at other sites females lead and coordinate group movements. Males are mainly responsible for defending the group’s territory. Within-group social behavioris variable throughout the year, from almost a fifth of the activity budget to only a small percentage; there is more social activity at times when ripe fruit is abundant. The three main types of within-group social interaction are grooming, play (wrestling, chasing, and slapping and biting), and social contact, with grooming being the most common. Aggression is rare. In general, immature

and tends to be reciprocal. Encounters between different groups of

can range from agonistic (physical altercations) to friendly (between-group playing or grooming). Most interactions between groups are agonistic, but they can be purely vocal and even neutral (both groups when they meet barely react to one another). Groups may also travel, feed, or rest together when they come into contact. Males are the principal participants in most territorial disputes, but females are sometimes approached by males during intergroup interactions. Disputes generally occur near boundaries of the home range when two groups can see each other. They typically last about an hour, and most intergroup interactions are accompanied by calls. Variability of the nature of interactions between neighboring groups may partly be the result of variable social and kin relationships between members. Nevertheless, intergroup interactions can be quite violent, and there is evidence that wounds incurred in territorial aggression have resulted in death. There is seasonal variation in the occurrence of intergroup encounters, and territoriality may function in resource defense. In one long-term study, males dispersed from their natal groups at about ten years of age and usually attained a territory by replacing a resident adult. Dispersal distances are usually c.1-2 territories from the natal territory, averaging 0-71 km in one population. Densities of

range from 2-4 groups/km? in Ketambe Research Station, Gunung Leuser National Park, Sumatra, to 0-7-2-6 groups/km? in Kuala Lompat and Tanjong Triang on the Malayan Peninsula and 6-5 groups/km? in Khao Yai National Park.

are loss of habitat and hunting. They are hunted for subsistence and for the pet trade. Hunting pressure varies across the range, but they are hunted even within protected areas. They are traditionally hunted by hill tribes in Thailand, and increased forest fragmentation has increased hunting pressure there. In Sumatra, some local people have a religious taboo against hunting primates, including

, but in some areas, taboos against hunting gibbons appear to be breaking down. Shifting agriculture and commercial plantations of oil palm are major causes of deforestation. Some protected areas (e.g. Nam Phouy Biodiversity Conservation Area in Laos) are threatened with road construction within their boundaries. This promotes forest clearing and strip development and increases fragmentation and access by hunters. In northern Sumatra, most of the lowland forests have been logged, and the threat of Ladia Galaska, a road network to link the west and east coasts of Aceh Province, means that much of the remaining forest is at risk. In most of its range, the

is confined to protected areas (e.g. in Thailand, no significant populations survive outside them), but, in most countries, these areas are not well patrolled, even if they are well managed for tourism. Illegal use of forest products and poaching are common in most protected areas. In Thailand, the decrease in forest cover has caused increased hunting. Further survey work is needed to determine current population numbers in protected areas. Current estimates suggest that there are probably 15,000-20,000

in Thailand with several populations numbering in the thousands, although they are now very rare in the north. The largest Thailand population is in Kaeng Krachan National Park with 3000-4000 individuals; the Western Forest Complex may well have 10,000 individuals; there may be more than 1000 individuals in the western part of Khao Yai National Park, as well as in Phu Khieo Wildlife Sanctuary and Nam Nao National Park. A few smaller populations survive in the south (e.g. Khao Sok National Park). In southern Peninsular Thailand and north-western Peninsular Malaysia, a few smaller, fragmented populations survive, perhaps together numbering in the low thousands. There are no recent or reliable estimates of the populations in the Tenasserim section of Myanmar, northern Sumatra, or the southern Peninsular Malaysia.

Surveys in search of this subspecies were carried out in 2008, and it was concluded that it had been entirely extirpated as a result of continued forest destruction, fragmentation, and deterioration and hunting. It is not known to occur anywhere else, but slim hope remains that there are populations in neighboring Myanmar.
