Seasonality in gum and honeydew feeding in gray mouse lemurs
Marine Joly,Elke Zimmermann +1 more
TL;DR: This study studied gray mouse lemurs in the dry deciduous forest of the Ankarafantsika National Park in northwestern Madagascar to investigate the relative consumption of gum and hemipteran honeydew, a sap-derived product, and to assess respective foraging strategies in a highly seasonal and quite predictable environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Posture does not matter!: paw usage and grasping paw preference in a small-bodied rooting quadrupedal mammal
TL;DR: The findings suggest that the lack of paw/hand preference for grasping food at a population level is a universal pattern among those species and that the influence of postural demand on manual lateralisation in quadrupeds may have evolved in large-bodied species specialised in fine manipulations of food items.
Journal ArticleDOI
An empirical estimate of the generation time of mouse lemurs
TL;DR: This study estimates the generation time of a widely studied small primate, Microcebus murinus, based on parentage data generated for a free‐living population over a 6‐year period in northwestern Madagascar to estimate the possible upper limits of generation time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization and phylogenetic relationship of prosimian MHC class I genes.
TL;DR: In gene tree analysis, the strepsirrhine class Ia genes described here cluster significantly separately from the known class I genes of Catarrhini and Platyrrhini species, suggesting that the class I loci of Simiiformes arose by gene duplications which occurred after the divergence of prosimians.
Journal ArticleDOI
High frequency/ultrasonic communication in a critically endangered nocturnal primate, Claire's mouse lemur (Microcebus mamiratra).
Alida F. Hasiniaina,Marina Scheumann,Mamy Rina Evasoa,Diane Braud,Solofonirina Rasoloharijaona,Blanchard Randrianambinina,Elke Zimmermann +6 more
TL;DR: The present study provides the first quantified information on vocal acoustics of calls, sound associated behavioral context, acoustic niche, and vocal activity of this species, and compared findings with published findings of five bioacoustically studied mouse lemur species.
