 EMPIRICAL ESTIMATES OF MINIMUM VIABLE POPULATION SIZES FOR PRIMATES: TENS TO TENS OF THOUSANDS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Small Sunda region islands have fewer taxa than do large ones.
Assuming extinction on the small islands, the MVP size is somewhere between the population size on the smallest island on which the taxon is extant and that on the largest island on which the taxon no longer exists (population size calculated as density of taxon by area of land available).
Results for eight to 10 genera (depending on the taxonomy) on 35 islands indicate MVPs of perhaps a few score for Nycticebus (loris) and Macaca (macaque) to several thousands, or scores of thousands, for Pongo (orang-utan) and Symphalangus (siamang).

Our efforts here (sometimes in the rain!) were repaid by fine views of Short-tailed Magpie, Indigo Flycatcher, Sunda Bush-Warbler, Chestnut-crested Yuhina, and another Bornean endemic, the delightfully confiding Mountain Wren-Babbler.
The road was, as usual, the most "birdy" area, and here we found Maroon Woodpeckers, Sunda and Chestnut-capped laughingthrushes, Bornean Whistler, Mountain Blackeye, and Golden-naped Barbet.
We caught up with that diminutive and cunning beast--the Black-sided Flowerpecker--in the gardens while half the group had the incredible luck to watch for ten minutes the very rarely seen Everett's Thrush.
