An organism-wide atlas of hormonal signaling based on the mouse lemur single-cell transcriptome
bioRxiv, 2021 Hormones mediate long-range cell communication in multicellular organisms and play vital roles in normal physiology, metabolism, and health. Using the newly-completed organism-wide single cell transcriptional atlas of a non-human primate, the mouse lemur

The evolution of the natural killer complex; a comparison between mammals using new high-quality genome assemblies and targeted annotation. [PDF]
, 2017 Natural killer (NK) cells are a diverse population of lymphocytes with a range of biological roles including essential immune functions. NK cell diversity is in part created by the differential expression of cell surface receptors which modulate ...

Acoustic divergence in the communication of cryptic species of nocturnal primates (
BMC Biology, 2008 Background A central question in evolutionary biology is how cryptic species maintain species cohesiveness in an area of sympatry. The coexistence of sympatrically living cryptic species requires the evolution of species-specific signalling and ...

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 ...

Causative agent of canine heartworm (Dirofilaria immitis) detected in wild lemurs
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2019 The lemurs of Madagascar are threatened by human activities. We present the first molecular detection of canine heartworm (Dirofilaria immitis) in a wild non-human primate, the mouse lemur (Microcebus rufus). Zoonotic D.

Spatial memory in the grey mouse lemur (Microcebus murinus) [PDF]
Animal Cognition, 2009 Wild animals face the challenge of locating feeding sites distributed across broad spatial and temporal scales. Spatial memory allows animals to find a goal, such as a productive feeding patch, even when there are no goal-specific sensory cues available.
