Journal ArticleDOI
Reconstructing the evolution of laughter in great apes and humans.
TL;DR: Results indicate that there were two main periods of selection-driven evolutionary change in laughter within the Hominidae, to a smaller degree, among the great apes and, most distinctively, after the separation of hominins from the last common ancestor with chimpanzees and bonobos.
Journal ArticleDOI
The ever-increasing diversity in mouse lemurs: three new species in north and northwestern Madagascar.

TL;DR: Elements of both biogeographic models are combined in a new hypothesis that aims to explain the speciation process leading to the present distribution of mouse lemurs in Madagascar.
Journal ArticleDOI
Species-specific usage of sleeping sites in two sympatric mouse lemur species (Microcebus murinus and M. ravelobensis) in northwestern Madagascar
TL;DR: The sleeping site ecology of two sympatric mouse lemur species in northwestern Madagascar during the second half of the dry season with respect to the type, quality, and usage pattern of the sleeping sites, as well as to social sleeping habits and response to potential threats is investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sex-specific usage patterns of sleeping sites in grey mouse lemurs (Microcebus murinus) in northwestern Madagascar.
TL;DR: The underlying study indicates that sleeping sites may be a restricted and defendable resource for grey mouse lemurs and gives new insights into the distribution patterns and social organization of this species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship Between Microhabitat Structure and Distribution of Mouse Lemurs ( Microcebus spp. ) in Northwestern Madagascar
TL;DR: The results indicate the importance of microhabitat analyses for the understanding of distribution patterns of species and for successful conservation planning.
