“…Whether this was due to the unsuitability of the other artificial saltlicks, or because artificial saltlick sites were unknown to langurs, or due to other biological or behavioral aspects is unknown. Typically, primate species utilize natural mineral licks with specific physical or chemical characteristics, and incorporate anti-predator and ranging behaviors when descending to mineral lick sites (Link et al, 2011;Matsubayashi et al, 2011;Ampeng et al, 2016).…”

“…Primatologists have access to a rich depth of information on their species that other researchers may lack, as primates are often the focus of countless long‐term behavioral projects. Therefore, beyond the usual landscape and environmental variables such as forest coverage, elevation, and climatic variables, researchers can add in the locations of sleeping trees, fruiting trees, mineral licks, or other features of importance to their study species 51,52 . If landscape data are not readily available, researchers can generate layers themselves.…”

Landscape genetics is an emerging field that integrates population genetics, landscape ecology, and spatial statistics to investigate how geographical and environmental features and evolutionary processes such as gene flow, genetic drift, and selection structure genetic variation at both the population and individual levels, with implications for ecology, evolution, and conservation biology. Despite being particularly well suited for primatologists, this method is currently underutilized. Here, we synthesize the current state of research on landscape genetics in primates. We begin by outlining how landscape genetics has been used to disentangle the drivers of diversity, followed by a review of how landscape genetic methods have been applied to primates. This is followed by a section highlighting special considerations when applying the methods to primates, and a practical guide to facilitate further landscape genetics studies using both existing and de novo datasets. We conclude by exploring future avenues of inquiry that could be facilitated by recent developments as well as underdeveloped applications of landscape genetics to primates.

“…It is estimated that at least 104,700 P. pygmaeus still exist on Borneo ( Ancrenaz 2016 ). In Sarawak, orangutan can be found in Batang Ai National Park, Ulu Sebuyau National Park, Sedilu National Park and Lanjak Entimau Wild Life Sanctuary which are all totally protected areas ( Ampeng et al 2016 , Tisen and Silang 2016 , Pandong et al 2018 ). Based on distribution map by Wich et al (2008) and Ancrenaz (2016) , the orangutan sighting in UANP constitutes a new orangutan record outside its published habitat range in Sarawak.…”

Wildlife surveys were conducted in Usun Apau National Park (UANP), Sarawak from Oct 2017 to Oct 2020. This was the first attempt to document fauna diversity in Usun Apau National Park on the UANP plateau at 1200-1400 m a.s.l. On 17 September 2020, 10 AM, we observed an orangutan individual, Pongo pygmaeus, over a period of one minute at Libut Camp UANP (E: 114039’.546, N: 2052’36.44) at 1,020 m a.s.l. We also recorded four nests and orangutan vocalisation twice. This observation is important for Bornean orangutan conservation as this was the first orangutan sighting in UANP and well outside the species distribution range for in Sarawak.
