Acknowledgments
I would like to express my deep gratitude to Dr David J. Chivers, University Reader in Primate Biology and Conservation, Anatomy School, University of Cambridge, for his advice, encouragement, and comments on this manuscript. I am extremely grateful to Fauna and Flora International (FFI) through their Project Orang Pendek (POP) and Biodiversity Assessment in Kerinci-Seblat National Park, Sumatra, which gave me the inspiration to survey those animals. I thank the Indonesia Institute of Science (LIPI) (especially Dr Jito Sugardjito), and the Ministry of Forestry of Indonesia for sponsorship, support, and permission to undertake this study in Kerinci-Seblat National Park. Finally, I would like to express my deep thanks to the Gibbon Foundation, in particular Dr Willie Smits, for financial support during the writing of this manuscript.
