Summary
Globally, primates are experiencing the pressures of anthropogenic influences altering natural landscapes. Given the interconnectedness of land use and species conservation, it is vital to understand how primates move within their environments and how they may respond to future land-use changes. Herein, we used unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) vegetation surveys and direct behavioural observations to determine how living in a degraded forest has influenced a wild siamang group in northern Sumatra. Within this population, we found a high level of folivory, relatively infrequent territorial long calls, reused routes, and a preference for areas that corresponded with canopy topography high in elevation. These results show that forest degradation can affect the ranging patterns and land-use behaviour of siamangs. To conserve this species and others that display a comparable response to changes in their environment, we need to prevent further degradation before populations are separated and unable to adapt to the limitations that come with human-mediated landscape changes.

Summary
The complex structural canopy of tropical forests is extremely important for the survival and continued presence of arboreal primates. The destruction and degradation of tropical rainforest on the Indonesian island of Sumatra is causing significant declines in the endemic gibbon species residing in these shrinking habitats. This chapter compares recent density estimates of the lar gibbon (Hylobates lar) and the siamang (Symphalangus syndactylus) in a historically logged area of lowland forest, Sikundur, north Sumatra, to range-wide densities of both species and the ecologically similar agile gibbon (Hylobates agilis) across the island. Density estimates for Sumatran gibbon species are largely influenced by altitude and habitat preference. Siamang densities in Sikundur were similar to previously obtained range-wide densities, whereas lar gibbon densities were lower than their reported natural density range. Sikundur’s degraded forest, consisting of reduced tree heights and low tree connectivity, has potentially impeded the ability of the lar gibbon to attain higher densities. However, the presence of these small apes in this degraded lowland forest, albeit at lower densities, demonstrates that these areas can still be important habitats for gibbons, and emphasises the importance of ongoing regeneration of previously degraded forest for the future survival of these species.
