An alu-based phylogeny of lemurs (infraorder: Lemuriformes).

PLoS ONE, 2012
LEMURS (INFRAORDER: Lemuriformes) are a radiation of strepsirrhine primates endemic to the island of Madagascar. As of 2012, 101 lemur species, divided among five families, have been described. Genetic and morphological evidence indicates all species are

Season and reproductive activity influence cortisol levels in the Malagasy primate Lepilemur edwardsi

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 337, Issue 9-10, Page 994-1001, December 1, 2022., 2022
Hair cortisol concentrations of male Lepilemur edwardsi increased from the early wet season to the early dry season, presumably due to mating behavior. Female hair cortisol concentration showed no seasonal changes throughout their reproductive cycle.

Contribution à l’étude de la mobilité de l’hallux et de la phylogénie des primates actuels

Revue de Primatologie, 2015
Material and methods: 51 anatomical specimens of non-human primates were dissected (18 embalmed, 33 fresh). The amplitudes of the medial cuneometatarsal and metatarsophalangeal articulations of the first ray of the foot of the various fresh pieces and ...

120 Years of “Lemurology”: A Qualitative Review of What We Have Learned

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 3, May 2025.
This review synthesizes about 120 years of scientific articles, starting in 1900, to summarize current advances in scientific studies about lemurs (Lemurology)”. It also addresses the conservation challenges these animals face, emphasizing the urgent need for effective protective measures.

Dental topography of prosimian premolars predicts diet: A comparison in premolar and molar dietary classification accuracies

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 185, Issue 1, September 2024.
Abstract Objectives This study tests whether (1) premolar topography of extant “prosimians” (strepsirrhines and tarsiers) successfully predicts diet and (2) whether the combination of molar and premolar topography yields higher classification accuracy than using either tooth position in isolation.

Terrestriality across the primate order: A review and analysis of ground use in primates

Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, Volume 33, Issue 4, August 2024.
Abstract Terrestriality is relatively rare in the predominantly arboreal primate order. How frequently, and when, terrestriality appears in primate evolution, and the factors that influence this behavior, are not well understood. To investigate this, we compiled data describing terrestriality in 515 extant nonhuman primate taxa.

Impact of forest fragmentation and associated edge effects on the population density of four nocturnal lemur species in North West Madagascar

Animal Conservation, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 522-537, August 2024.
The clearing and fragmentation of tropical forest is the single biggest threat to primate populations who depend on this habitat for survival, and whilst some primate species are highly sensitive to habitat fragmentation, other species can adapt and even thrive in fragmented and degraded forests.

Dietary flexibility of the greater bamboo lemur (Prolemur simus), a specialized feeder, in eastern Madagascar

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 86, Issue 5, May 2024.
“Percentage of feeding observations of Prolemur simus on bamboo and non‐bamboo resources across three study sites” Abstract The degree of dietary flexibility in primates is species specific; some incorporate a wider array of resources than others. Extreme interannual weather variability in Madagascar results in seasonal resource scarcity which has been
