This special program in celebration of Earth Day focuses on the extreme and unpredictable fruiting pattern of Southeast Asian rainforests that has led to a number of energy-conserving strategies in Bornean orangutans. Dr. Vogel will summarize current research from the Tuanan Orangutan Research Station on the relationships between macronutrient balancing and urinary indicators of health. Research suggests that orangutans are adapted to a feast and famine ecology and that episodes of caloric reduction may actually be beneficial. Dr. Vogel's findings add to the growing literature on the nutrition-behavior-health link to the current global obesity epidemic in humans populations around the world.
