Presbytis femoralis robinsoni locally known as the lutong ceneka is an endemic femoralis subspecies to the northern part of Peninsular Malaysia and southern Thailand. This langur warrants immediate conservation attention as it is categorized as Near Threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) with a declining numbers of population trend and being threatened with numerous conservation issues.With poor understanding on population status and unresolved conservation framework in Malaysia data on behavioral ecology such as positional behavior of P. f. robinsoni are non-existent in Malaysia. Thus this study describes the first record on qualitative aspects of the positional behavior of Robinsons banded langur (P. f. robinsoni) in the Sungai Sedim Recreation Forest (SSRF) Kedah Malaysia. The positional behaviors of P. f. robinsoni in SSRF involve sitting lying quadrupedal standing bipedal standing clinging and forelimb suspension. These varieties of observed positional modes may be identified as it may related to the primary forest habitat conditions. Understanding langur behavioural responses to their natural habitat environments are useful in developing an effective conservation framework for the Robinsons banded langur in Malaysia.

Abstract

Presbytis femoralis robinsoni locally known as the lutong ceneka is an endemic femoralis subspecies to the northern part of Peninsular Malaysia and southern Thailand. This langur warrants immediate conservation attention as it is categorized as Near Threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) with a declining numbers of population trend and being threatened with numerous conservation issues.With poor understanding on population status and unresolved conservation framework in Malaysia data on behavioral ecology such as positional behavior of P. f. robinsoni are non-existent in Malaysia. Thus this study describes the first record on qualitative aspects of the positional behavior of Robinsons banded langur (P. f. robinsoni) in the Sungai Sedim Recreation Forest (SSRF) Kedah Malaysia. The positional behaviors of P. f. robinsoni in SSRF involve sitting lying quadrupedal standing bipedal standing clinging and forelimb suspension. These varieties of observed positional modes may be identified as it may related to the primary forest habitat conditions. Understanding langur behavioural responses to their natural habitat environments are useful in developing an effective conservation framework for the Robinsons banded langur in Malaysia.
