TL;DR: Community-based management, ecotourism, and researchers' presence are proposed to prevent lemur extinctions and reasons for hope are discussed in light of site-specific, local actions proposed in an emergency conservation action plan.

TL;DR: Overall this study suggests that protein selection is influenced by the protein availability in the environment, explaining the sometimes contradictory results in previous studies on protein selection.

TL;DR: A phylogenetic least-squares analysis on 10 populations of Eulemur and 7 of Propithecus found similar ecogeographic variation; populations of both genera with heavier body mass consumed more fruit and switched the diet from fruit to alternative food more frequently.

TL;DR: The authors found that diurnal species already inhabiting hot, sparsely canopied sites, and exhibiting more generalized diets, are more likely to shift toward greater ground use, which is associated with increased temperature and a decrease in canopy cover, as well as species-specific traits, including a dietary shift away from fruits and larger group size.

TL;DR: It would have been more prudent to replace “ original forest cover” with “surface” and there is palaeoecological evidence for “ surface” in Madagascar.
