At the national scale, within the territory of each unit of N, material (produce, forest products, crops) and ...

Metabolic Strategy and Social Behavior in Lemuridae
1999Research on lemurs contributes importantly to evaluation of hypotheses on primate development and evolution. A central question about social behavior has asked why adult females in many lemur species socially dominate males while this trait is rare among Anthropoids and other mammals.
