..., and even distribution of leaves. Evidence from several folivorous species that experience similar constraints to frugivores does not support this hypothesis. The sympatric lemur genera Avahi (Indriidae) and Lepilemur (Lepilemuridae) are good models to understand how food availability constrains folivores...

...Travis S. Steffens; Malcolm S. Ramsay; Bertrand Andriatsitohaina; Ute Radespiel; Shawn M. Lehman Madagascar is home to many threatened and endemic primate species, yet this island has seen dramatic declines in lemur habitat due to forest loss. This forest loss has resulted in an increasingly...

...Samantha McLendon; Caroline R. Amoroso Previous primate research has demonstrated social learning related to accepting novel foods, but little evidence suggests social learning of food avoidance. Ring-tailed lemurs ( Lemur catta )have been observed to shake their heads rapidly in response to sour...

...Safidy Malala Rasolonjatovo; Mitchell T. Irwin Rarely observed in mammals, female dominance is documented in several of Madagascar’s lemurs. Although dominance affects many aspects of primates’ lives, studies have largely focused on dyadic agonistic interactions to characterise relationships. We...

... conditions of pet lemurs in Madagascar. We hypothesized that captive lemurs would often be kept in restrictive settings, including small cages, would be fed foods inconsistent with their natural diets and, as a result, would be in bad physical or psychological health. Data were collected via a web-based...

... to explain their variable social organisation. The aim of this study was to test predictions from this model in Goodman’s mouse lemur based on a data set from animals living in the semi-free colony of Zurich Zoo. During a 2-month study, we observed 5 females and 5 males using radiotelemetry. We collected...

Moreover, our results indicate that L. catta is nested within the Hapalemur clade as the sister taxon to Hapalemur griseusi’Hapalemur aureus. We...
