molecular phylogeny of mentawai macaques: taxonomic and biogeographic implications.	in order to elucidate the evolutionary history and taxonomy of the mentawai macaques, we sequenced a 567 base pairs (bp) long fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene from 39 individuals representing pigtailed macaque populations from siberut, sipora, south pagai, and sumatra. pairwise difference analyses carried out within and among populations have shown, that: (1) variation within populations is relative low, (2) variation among populations is increased, and (3) pairwise differences wi ...	2003	12967615
ecology of an endemic primate species (macaca siberu) on siberut island, indonesia.	logging and forest loss continues to be a major problem within southeast asia and as a result, many species are becoming threatened or extinct. the present study provides the first detailed and comprehensive ecological data on the siberut macaque (macaca siberu), a primate species living exclusively on the island of siberut off the west coast of sumatra. our results show that m. siberu is ecologically similar to its closest relative m. nemestrina occurring on the mainland, both species being sem ...	2013	23724365
feeding behavior and aggression in wild siberut macaques (macaca siberu) living under low predation risk.	investigating which factors influence feeding competition is crucial for our understanding of the diversity of social relationships. socio-ecological models differ in their predictions whether predation risk directly influences feeding competition and which factors exactly predict contest competition. we investigated feeding competition in siberut macaques (macaca siberu), a species endemic to siberut island (west sumatra, indonesia). siberut macaques experience low predation risk, as major pred ...	2015	25736828
