... since they are both nocturnal, folivorous, and have a comparable body mass. Here we investigate how two nocturnal folivorous primates, Avahi meridionalis and Lepilemur fleuretae , living in the lowland rain forest of Tsitongambarika, South-East Madagascar, partition their dietary niche...

... population statistics are often dated, incomplete, or absent. Hubbard’s sportive lemur ( Lepilemur hubbardorum ) is known only from the Zombitse-Vohibasia National Park region in southwestern Madagascar. It is listed as Endangered by the IUCN owing to its fragmented, declining habitat and limited geographic...

... to estimate and monitor primate populations. However, transects may be costly and logistically challenging. We sought to test whether low-cost (<5,000 USD), ready-to-use unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) could effectively monitor primate populations in north-eastern Madagascar. Critically Endangered [A3cd...

... articles [Gould and Sauther, 2016; LaFleur et al., 2017], we used published and novel data to tally the numbers of ring-tailed lemurs ( Lemur catta ) within multiple localities at 32 and 34 sites, respectively, in regions where they persist within southern Madagascar. Our objective was to provide...

Parcel I comprises riparian gallery forest that grades into xerophytic forest with increasing westward distance from the Sakamena River [Sussman and Ratsirarson, 2006]. Most individuals aged 2 years and older from 9...

...Daniel Hending; Angelo Andrianiaina; Zafimahery Rakotomalala; Sam Cotton Sheth's dwarf lemur, Cheirogaleus shethi , is a small, recently discovered nocturnal primate endemic to northern Madagascar. Unlike many other nocturnal lemurs, C. shethi lives sympatrically with morphologically similar...

... of L. catta in at least 12 of the 32 sites examined, and that significantly more extinctions occurred in areas without some form of protection. This decrease in extant populations could represent a decrease of more than 95% of all ring-tailed lemurs in Madagascar since the year 2000. While...

...Kim E. Reuter; Melissa S. Schaefer Live extraction of wildlife is a threat to biodiversity and can compromise animal welfare standards. Studies of the captive environments and welfare of pet primates are known, but none has focused on Madagascar. We aimed to expand knowledge about the captive...

...Simon Furnell; Mary L. Blanchard; Robin H. Crompton; William I. Sellers The locomotor behaviour of 2 groups of Propithecus verreauxi (Verreaux's sifaka) was studied over an 8-month period in Kirindy Mitea National Park (KMNP), Madagascar. This paper assesses the major characteristics...

...Marni LaFleur; Michelle L. Sauther Although Lemur catta persists in many habitat types in southern Madagascar, its ecology has been primarily studied within gallery forests. We compare plant food selection and properties for ring-tailed lemurs in the spiny and gallery forests over the synchronized...

...Tara A. Clarke; Olivia Gray; Lisa Gould; Andrew S. Burrell Madagascar's lemurs, now deemed the most endangered group of mammals, represent the highest primate conservation priority in the world. Due to anthropogenic disturbances, an estimated 10% of Malagasy forest cover remains. The endangered...

... data, we evaluated dispersal patterns in 2 L. catta populations in southwestern Madagascar: Tsimanampesotse National Park (TNP) and Bezà Mahafaly Special Reserve (BMSR). We also investigated the genetic differentiation between the populations and dispersal partner relatedness. Results showed minor...

This conversion has resulted from a complex pattern of slash-and-burn agriculture, anthropogenic fires used to create cattle pasture, and climate...

.... This instance was amongst only 51 direct reports of predation by vertebrates on nocturnal primates (90% were on Madagascar, where 56% of approx. 110 nocturnal primate species occur), of which 41% were by birds of prey. These findings prompt discussion of two possibilities: (a) nocturnality is, in part...
