Abstract:

The study of orangutan cognition is significant to understanding the connection between human intellectual qualities and that of non-human great apes, In their isolated position as the last existing link to the Asian Hominidae lineage and the first to depart from our clade's common ancestry, orangutans may hold the key to the evolution of our own behavioural adaptations. By using a hierarchy of species appropriate Piagetian type developmental tasks supported by theories of evolutionary cognitive expansion we place orangutans in a broader phylogenetic developmental level. Each of the experimental chapters is examining a small piece of hierarchal intelligence allowing us to see how captive orangutans can be tested for their ability to form concepts by achieving increasing levels of spatial awareness, representational, classification, seriation and transitive skills.

Abstract:

The Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ Orangutan Species Survival Plan® aims to maintain 100 Bornean orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus) in captivity. Because investment in breeding these lineages is high, properly managing sociality of potential mothers is essential. This study assessed how behaviors of a captive breeding female at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo changed from pre-gestation through the offspring’s sixth month of age to improve breeding recommendations. The infant Bornean orangutan was born September 2016. Results indicate that during breeding, the mother socialized most with two adult females. During pregnancy, the pregnant female socialized in less energy-consuming ways, i.e. grooming. Post-partum socialization and proximity data suggest a shift in female affiliation. The presence of another female with maternal experience may be beneficial to the rearing of new offspring. These results can help guide socialization management for pregnant captive orangutans to improve breeding outcomes.

Abstract:

Orangutans are the largest predominantly arboreal primate and consequently have a diverse repertoire of positional behaviour. Problems associated with travel on thin flexible supports worsen as body size increases; therefore locomotion should vary with body size. The aim of this thesis was to explore how orangutans solve problems related to life in wild and captive environments and how this changes with growth and development. A cross-sectional sample of wild orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus wurmbii) was studied at Tuanan Field Station in Central Borneo with subjects ranging from infant to adult. Results from wild orangutans showed that locomotion varied according to body size with larger orangutans using larger supports and gaining stability by bearing their weight in suspension. In contrast captivity promoted higher frequencies of terrestrial behaviours and these increased with age. Wild orangutans crossed large gaps in the canopy by oscillating compliant trunks. However I found that these skills are not fully mastered until 6 years old. Mothers were found to provide assistance during gap crossing according to the needs of their offspring. This thesis has shown that complex locomotor behaviour develops slowly during ontogeny and this may have implications for orangutan life history in different types of habitat.
