Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Climate change and anthropogenic activities drive antagonistic degradation of landscape connectivity for endangered François’ langur (1987–2024), causing 48.8% habitat loss, north‐south fragmentation, and centroid migration (1.2 km/yr). Despite protected areas buffering connectivity, static management fails dynamic priority habitats; we propose ...

Baby on board: olfactory cues indicate pregnancy and fetal sex in a non-human primate. [PDF]
, 2015 Olfactory cues play an integral, albeit underappreciated, role in mediating vertebrate social and reproductive behaviour. These cues fluctuate with the signaller's hormonal condition, coincident with and informative about relevant aspects of its ...

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.We developed a population viability analysis to inform reintroduction strategies for the endangered Barbary macaque (Macaca sylvanus), incorporating age‐specific vital rates, release costs on survival and reproduction, environmental and demographic stochasticity, and catastrophic events.

Population genetics of mouse lemur vomeronasal receptors: current versus past selection and demographic inference. [PDF]
, 2017 BACKGROUND: A major effort is underway to use population genetic approaches to identify loci involved in adaptation. One issue that has so far received limited attention is whether loci that show a phylogenetic signal of positive selection in the past ...

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Deforestation in the tropics is a major threat to forest‐specialist animals, many of which are already threatened with extinction. We assessed how forest fragmentation and its associated edge‐effects impact animal biodiversity in Northwest Madagascar using soundscape analysis and acoustic indices.

BMC Ecology, 2012 Background Studies of host-parasite interactions have the potential to provide insights into the ecology of both organisms involved. We monitored the movement of sucking lice (Lemurpediculus verruculosus), parasites that require direct host-host contact ...

Characterisation of urinary WFDC12 in small nocturnal basal primates, mouse lemurs (Microcebus spp.) [PDF]
, 2017 Mouse lemurs are basal primates that rely on chemo- and acoustic signalling for social interactions in their dispersed social systems. We examined the urinary protein content of two mouse lemurs species, within and outside the breeding season, to assess ...

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Ataxin‐1 is a polyglutamine protein associated with the etiology of spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1) that has been recently found implicated in the risk of developing the autoimmune disorder multiple sclerosis (MS). Here, we took a conditional knockout approach to ablate ataxin‐1 exclusively in the B‐cell compartment and we found that this protein ...
