Absence of Evidence of Rift Valley Fever Infection in Eulemur fulvus (Brown Lemur) in Mayotte During an Interepidemic Period. [PDF]
, 2017 The potential role of Eulemur fulvus (brown lemur) in the epidemiology of Rift Valley fever (RVF) in Mayotte, during an interepidemic period, was explored. In February and March 2016, 72 animals were blood sampled and tested for RVF.

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.Puerto Rican crested toads (Peltophryne lemur) that were provided with dim night lights to simulate a natural dusk and dawn moved more frequently than those kept in complete darkness at night. Toads moved more at dusk and dawn than in the middle of the night. ABSTRACT Night light may affect captive amphibians in alternative ways. Captive amphibians may

Social information about others' affective states in a human‐altered world
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Faced with anthropogenic change, animals now encounter challenges different from their evolutionary past. To cope with such challenges, animals may use social information about others' affective states to guide their decisions. Considering affective states of wild animals could have important implications for animal welfare and wildlife conservation ...

Monitoring Impacts of Natural Resource Extraction on Lemurs of the Masoala Peninsula, Madagascar
Ecology and Society, 1998 Monitoring the influence of human actions on flagship species is an important part of conserving biodiversity, because the information gained is crucial for the development and adaptation of conservation management plans.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

The oestrous cycle of the brown lemur, Lemur fulvus [PDF]
Reproduction, 1978 Examination of vaginal smears and observations of the colour and tumescence of the genitalia and discharge of mucus of 9 brown lemurs indicated that the oestrous cycle lasted for 30 days and that cycles occurred between September and July. The timing of cycles of females housed in visual isolation differed from that of females able to see other lemurs,
