Beyond the Mouse: The Mouse Lemur as a New Primate Model for Cardiovascular Research. [PDF]
Curr Cardiol RepDue to differences in cardiac structure and function, it has become increasingly clear that many aspects of cardiovascular anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, and disease are not well modeled in mice. This has spurred a search for new model organisms with

eLemur: A cellular-resolution 3D atlas of the mouse lemur brain. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S AThe gray mouse lemur (Microcebus murinus), one of the smallest living primates, emerges as a promising model organism for neuroscience research. This is due to its genetic similarity to humans, its evolutionary position between rodents and humans, and ...

Where the small things are: Modelling edge effects on mouse lemur population density and distribution in northwestern Madagascar. [PDF]
Am J PrimatolEdge effects result from the penetration to varying depths and intensities, of abiotic and biotic conditions from the surrounding non‐forest matrix into the forest interior.

Digital templates and brain atlas dataset for the mouse lemur primate [PDF]
Data in Brief, 2018 We present a dataset made of 3D digital brain templates and of an atlas of the gray mouse lemur (Microcebus murinus), a small prosimian primate of growing interest for studies of primate biology and evolution.

Delimiting species without nuclear monophyly in Madagascar's mouse lemurs. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Speciation begins when populations become genetically separated through a substantial reduction in gene flow, and it is at this point that a genetically cohesive set of populations attain the sole property of species: the independent evolution of a ...

Daily Torpor and Sleep in a Non-human Primate, the Gray Mouse Lemur (Microcebus murinus). [PDF]
Front Neuroanat, 2019 Daily torpor is an energy-saving process that evolved as an extension of non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep mechanisms. In many heterothermic species there is a relation between torpor expression and the repartition of the different behavioral states of

Jumping Stand Apparatus Reveals Rapidly Specific Age-Related Cognitive Impairments in Mouse Lemur Primates. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The mouse lemur (Microcebus murinus) is a promising primate model for investigating normal and pathological cerebral aging. The locomotor behavior of this arboreal primate is characterized by jumps to and from trunks and branches.

Photoperiodic regime influences onset of lens opacities in a non-human primate [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Background Opacities of the lens are typical age-related phenomena which have a high influence on photoreception and consequently circadian rhythm. In mouse lemurs, a small bodied non-human primate, a high incidence (more than 50% when >seven years) of ...
