ORANGUTAN DIET:

LESSONS FROM AND FOR THE WILD

Madeleine E. Hardus

Madeleine E. Hardus 2012

In this thesis, I examine several aspects and determinants of orangutan

diet at individual and species levels. Up to now, most orangutan studies

on diet have focused on broad diet categories at the population level.

As such, this study presents results at a new level of detail, which is a

necessary step to better understand orangutan behavior and predict

how (reintroduced) orangutans can survive and adapt to habitat

changes (and to their release in unfamiliar forest). I started this study

in 2007 on the island of Sumatra, with this thesis containing the main

findings of 2.5 years of field and experimental work.
