The earlier decade has noticeable a gentle bring up in experiences oflemur habit and ecology. for this reason, there's a lot novel info on newly studied populations, or even newly found species, that has no longer but been released or summarized. actually, lemurs haven't been the focal point of a world symposium because the Prosimian Biology convention in London in 1972. additionally, learn on lemurs has reached a brand new caliber by way of addressing normal concerns in behavioral ecology and evolutionary biology. even though lemurs supply vital comparative details on those subject matters, this element of study on lemurs has now not been reviewed and in comparison with comparable experiences in different primate radiations. hence, as did many within the box, we felt that the time used to be ripe to check and synthesize our wisdom of lemur behavioral ecology. Following an initiative by way of Gerry Doyle, we geared up a symposium on the XIVth Congress of the overseas Primatological Society in Strasbourg, France, the place 15 contributions summarized a lot new info on lemur social structures and their ecological foundation. This quantity presents a suite of the papers provided on the Strasbourg symposium (plus stories from lately accomplished box projects). each one bankruptcy used to be peer-reviewed, in general via one "lemurologist" and another biologist. the 1st 3 chapters current novel details from the 1st long term box experiences of 3 enigmatic species. Sterling describes the social association of Daubentonia madagascariensis, exhibiting that aye-aye ranging styles deviate from these of all different nocturnal primates.

In May, the main study group split into three subgroups that used distinct core areas (Fig. 7). In this case, subgroups were formed by two male-female couples and by a single male, but, in the dry season, daily subgroups consisting of two females (probably a mother with her young daughter) and more rarely two males were common. This tendency to form subgroups in the cool-wet season and to stay more cohesive in the transit10nal-dry months was particularly evident in some periods of each season. In Figure 8, data from May are compared with data from November.
The first discovery of change in the enclosure fencing occurred when CL lead OC and MA towards the west fence. OC and MA then ran at the fence and engaged in a chase-jump away territorial defense display directed at the NHE2 males (CA, AM, and ZU) that responded with a similar display at them from the opposite site of the fence until 15:54. AM then entered NHE4 through the open west gate. OC chased AM back into NHE2 but stopped abruptly at the boundary line marked by the previous location of the closed gate.
