Madagascar's Lemurs

Scientific American, 1993
These primates can tell us a great deal about our own evolutionary past. But many species are already extinct, and the habitats of those that remain are shrinking fast.

Lemur coronatus (Crowned lemur)

1977
Lymphocyte cultures of three animals (2.1) at San Diego Zoo were employed. The chromosomes of the male are G-banded. All metaphases of the female had one abnormal pair, here shown as #12. In neither males nor in Rumpler’s experience is this a metacentric pair. The phenotype of the chromosomally aberrant female is normal.

Protecting Lemurs—Response

Science, 2014
McConnell and Kull question whether the current forest habitat represents “only 10 to 20% of Madagascar's original forest cover.” We agree that it would have been more prudent to replace “original forest cover” with “surface.” We also concur that there is palaeoecological evidence ...

Lemur macaco (Black lemur)

1974
These karyotypes were kindly supplied by Dr. D. H. Wurster-Hill, Hanover, New Hampshire, USA. They were prepared from skin cultures of display animals of the San Diego Zoological Park, San Diego, California, USA. As in most lemurs, a number of microchromosomes are present that are difficult to classify. Identification of the X chromosome is unequivocal.

Lemur variegatus subcinctus (Ruffed lemur)

1975
These karyotypes are prepared from skin biopsies. The male was identified by Dennis A. Merritt, Lincoln Park Zoo, Chicago, Illinois, USA, the female by C. A. Hill, San Diego Zoo, San Diego, California, USA. The latter was donated by Dr. D. H. Wurster-Hill, Hanover, New Hampshire, USA. These animals belong to the subspecies L. r.

Lemur catta (Ring-tailed lemur)

1970
One pair of the submetacentric autosomes is especially large. Several pairs of the acrocentric autosomes are very small elements. Two pairs of small acrocentric autosomes bear secondary constriction near the centromere.

Nerve endings of the lemur (Lemur fulvus rufus)

American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1965
AbstractNerve structures in lemur skin (Lemur fulvus rufus) studied with silver impregnation and histochemical methods presented certain unique features. The primary nerve structure of the skin was found to be the hair nerve end‐organ. In this animal it contained no cholinesterase.

Lemur fulvus albifrons (White-fronted lemur)

1977
Lymphocyte cultures of a pair of lemurs at San Diego Zoo were employed for these karyotypes. Identification of all chromosomes is present with G-bands, top karyotype. The female metaphase is prepared with C-bands.

Aspects of Reproduction in Ruffed Lemurs (Lemur variegatus)

Folia Primatologica, 1977
Results of breeding of ruffed lemurs (Lemur variegatus) at the Duke Primate Facility provide information concerning estrous cycle, sexual behavior, age of first conception, gestation period, parturition, litter size. L. variegatus differs from other Lemur species in these respects.
