TL;DR: The Bayesian phylogenetic and haplotype network analyses revealed the presence of three separated haplotype clades, suggesting a probable hybridization between M. cowani and M. baroni and at least three units for conservation in the Mantella cowani group.

TL;DR: This study provides the first experimental data on the sensory ecology of food detection in mouse lemurs, and investigates whether they use visual, auditory, and motion cues to find and to localize prey arthropods and further whether olfactory cues are sufficient for finding fruit.

TL;DR: Highly diverse and so far apparently untouched by emergent diseases, Malagasy frogs nevertheless are threatened by ongoing habitat destruction, making pro-active conservation actions especially important for preserving this unique, pre-decline, amphibian fauna.

TL;DR: A hybrid zone in one of the few remaining ecotonal corridors between dry and humid forests in Madagascar is studied, which connects two species of mouse lemurs, Microcebus griseorufus in dry spiny forest andMicrocebus murinus in humid littoral forest, and reveals intermediate morphotypes of many individuals in transitional habitat.

TL;DR: Rats' movements according to the season were likely directed by the availability of food, and important indicators of vector abundance and plague transmission were higher during the high plague transmission season.
