Ultrasonographic Diagnosis of Bilateral Spontaneous Ovarian Hemorrhage in a 7-Year-Old Female Black-and-White Ruffed Lemur (Varecia variegata). [PDF]
Vet Radiol UltrasoundABSTRACT A 7‐year‐old female intact, black‐and‐white ruffed lemur (Varecia variegata) presented for acute anorexia, lethargy, and abnormal behavior. Initial radiographs were concerning for gastrointestinal ileus. Abdominal ultrasonography identified bilateral periovarian masses and a moderate volume of echogenic peritoneal effusion; no definitive blood

Revision of Madagascar's Dwarf Lemurs (Cheirogaleidae:Cheirogaleus): Designation of Species, Candidate Species Status and Geographic Boundaries Based on Molecular and Morphological Data [PDF]
, 2014 The genus Cheirogaleus, the dwarf lemurs, is a radiation of strepsirrhine primates endemic to the island of Madagascar. The dwarf lemurs are taxonomically grouped in the family Cheirogaleidae (Infraorder: Lemuriformes) along with the genera Microcebus,

Captive Dwarf and Mouse Lemurs Have Variable Fur Growth
Animals, 2020 Researchers typically assume constant fur and hair growth for primates, but the few studies that have investigated growth explicitly suggest this may not be the case. Instead, growth may vary considerably among individuals and across seasons.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Ecological communities are structured by interactions between coexisting species that mutually influence their distribution and abundance. Ecologically similar species are expected to exclude one another from suitable habitat, so the coexistence of two ...

Shortest known prion protein allele in highly BSE-susceptible lemurs [PDF]
, 2000 We describe the shortest prion protein allele known to date. Surprisingly, it is found as a polymorphism exactly in a species (prosimian lemurs) which seems highly susceptible to oral infection with BSE-derived prions. The truncation of the prion protein

Rôles des populations captives dans la conservation des lémuriens
Revue de Primatologie, 2011 Many species of lemurs can be found in European Zoos. Some French zoos, which are very implicated in the conservation of the lemurs, are the founders of several captive populations of lemurs.

Genetic analysis of hybridization and introgression between wild mongoose and brown lemurs
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2009 Background Hybrid zones generally represent areas of secondary contact after speciation. The nature of the interaction between genes of individuals in a hybrid zone is of interest in the study of evolutionary processes.

Preliminary study to investigate the Delboeuf illusion in ring-tailed lemurs (Lemur catta): Methodological challenges [PDF]
, 2017 Visual illusions are commonly used in animal cognition studies to compare visual perception among vertebrates. To date, researchers have focused their attention mainly on birds and mammals, especially apes and monkeys, but no study has investigated ...

Coevolution of Cyanogenic Bamboos and Bamboo Lemurs on Madagascar.
PLoS ONE, 2016 Feeding strategies of specialist herbivores often originate from the coevolutionary arms race of plant defenses and counter-adaptations of herbivores. The interaction between bamboo lemurs and cyanogenic bamboos on Madagascar represents a unique system ...
