TL;DR: The discovery of a distinctive new species of cophyline anuran in central-western Madagascar suggests the existence of forest corridor between the eastern rainforest stretch and the relatively dry Tsingy de Bemaraha massif during a period of more humid climate.

TL;DR: Electronics experiments demonstrated that rats were more attracted by the rodent granules and peanut butter, and incorporation of RB in baits did not reduce their appetence, and the effectiveness of the marking was comparable between males and females.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors visited four cave roosts of the near threatened, and endemic, fruit bat Rousettus madagascariensis over a five year period and found major threats to the bats from hunting and deforestation.

TL;DR: Twenty-two nuclear microsatellite loci were isolated from a genomic DNA library derived from Madagascar’s Rousettus madagascariensis and will provide valuable information for the study of population genetics and gene flow within this species of bats.

TL;DR: The sex ratio of pups at birth favored females by approximately 3:1, which may represent a survival strategy of this species, possibly associated with ecological conditions.
