5 True/False Questions
-
Territoriality Indicated by behavior during intergroup encounters → Vocalizations, male and female solos, duets
-
"Lesser Apes" : Most are allopatric, but siamangs (Symphalangus) overlaps with → lar gibbons and agile gibbons
-
Relationship among lesser apes → Hylobatidae, (about 5MYA) becomes Nomascus, Symphalangues and Hylobates. Hylobates subdivide to Hoolock
-
True Monogamy? Crested gibbons (Nomascus) are sometimes → Extra-pair copulations well documented
-
Territoriality: Occasionally (but → Fruit 59% diet on average, also young leaves, flowers, insects
Figs as an important fruit (25% diet)
