Journal ArticleDOI
Unexpected species diversity of Malagasy primates (Lepilemur spp.) in the same biogeographical zone: a morphological and molecular approach with the description of two new species.
Mathias Craul,Elke Zimmermann,Solofonirina Rasoloharijaona,Blanchard Randrianambinina,Ute Radespiel +4 more
TL;DR: According to the ”large river model“, large rivers in north and northwestern Madagascar acted as geographical barriers for gene flow and facilitated speciation events on a much smaller spatial scale than previously thought.
Journal ArticleDOI
Feeding Ecology of Sympatric Mouse Lemur Species in Northwestern Madagascar
TL;DR: Both lemurs used in common >50% of the plant species that each consumed, which accounts for ≥70% of all individual plants used, however, both species seemed to differ in their degree of specialization on certain plant species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of forest fragmentation on an endangered large-bodied lemur in northwestern Madagascar
Mathias Craul,Lounès Chikhi,Lounès Chikhi,Vitor C. Sousa,Gillian L. Olivieri,Andriatahiana Rabesandratana,Elke Zimmermann,Ute Radespiel +7 more
TL;DR: The effects of forest fragmentation on presence, abundance and genetic diversity in a larger-bodied lemur species, Lepilemur edwardsi, inorthwestern Madagascar and signals of a demographic collapse of about two orders of magnitude are revealed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infanticide by a male Milne-Edwards' sportive lemur (Lepilemur edwardsi) in Ampijoroa, NW-Madagascar
TL;DR: A male newcomer killed the infant of a female whose male partner had left her recently, and both the social-pathology and the sexual-selection hypotheses may explain infanticidal behavior in Lepilemur edwardsi.
Journal ArticleDOI
OrangFACS: A Muscle-Based Facial Movement Coding System for Orangutans ( Pongo spp.)
Catia Correia Caeiro,Catia Correia Caeiro,Bridget M. Waller,Elke Zimmermann,Anne M. Burrows,Anne M. Burrows,Marina Davila-Ross +6 more
TL;DR: OrangFACS, a FACS adapted for orangutans, is presented, indicating an overall facial mobility similar to that found in chimpanzees, macaques, and gibbons but smaller than thatFindings indicate the need for facial communication in specialized contexts, phylogenetic inertia, and allometric effects.
