Histological and Immunohistochemical Characterization of a Histiocytic Sarcoma Associated With a Follicular Lymphoma in a Ring‐tailed Lemur (Lemur catta) [PDF]
Veterinary Medicine and ScienceA 20‐year‐old neutered male ring‐tailed lemur (Lemur catta) diagnosed with an intrathoracic mass died during surgical excision. Morphological characteristics of the mass during necropsy were consistent with a mediastinal abscess in the left hemithorax ...

Climate, diet, and nutrition drive gut microbiome variation in a fruit-specialist primate [PDF]
Scientific ReportsMuch of what we know about drivers of mammalian gut microbiome (GM) variation focuses on limited seasonal data, or effects of dietary fiber, particularly in leaf-eating and grazing taxa. We know little about the synergistic relationships between climate,

The Sublingua of Lemur catta and Varecia variegata: Only a Cleaning Function? [PDF]
AnimalsThe sublingua is an anatomical structure located under the tongue. This rare organ can be present in some animals as a rudimentary structure, but among prosimian primates, such as lemurs and lorises, it is fully developed.

Total evidence time-scaled phylogenetic and biogeographic models for the evolution of sea cows (Sirenia, Afrotheria) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Molecular phylogenetic studies that have included sirenians from the genera Trichechus, Dugong, and Hydrodamalis have resolved their interrelationships but have yielded divergence age estimates that are problematically discordant.

On the modulation and maintenance of hibernation in captive dwarf lemurs
Scientific Reports, 2021 In nature, photoperiod signals environmental seasonality and is a strong selective “zeitgeber” that synchronizes biological rhythms. For animals facing seasonal environmental challenges and energetic bottlenecks, daily torpor and hibernation are two ...

Widespread loss of mammalian lineage and dietary diversity in the early Oligocene of Afro-Arabia
Communications Biology, 2021 Using time-scaled phylogenies of several endemic clades of small Afro-Arabian mammals, Dorien de Vries et al. infer a steep drop in species numbers around the Eocene-Oligocene transition.
