Delimitation of cryptic species is increasingly based on genetic analyses but the integration distributional, morphological, behavioral, and ecological data offers unique complementary insights into diversification. We surveyed communities nocturnal mouse lemurs (Microcebus spp.) in five different sites northeastern Madagascar, measuring a variety morphological parameters assessing reproductive states for 123 individuals belonging to lineages. documented two non-sister lineages occurring...
A bstract Mouse lemurs ( Microcebus ) are a radiation of morphologically cryptic primates distributed throughout Madagascar for which the number recognized species has exploded in past two decades. This taxonomic explosion prompted understandable concern that there been substantial oversplitting mouse lemur clade. Here, we take an integrative approach to investigate diversity pairs sister lineages occur region northeastern with high levels microendemism and predicted habitat loss. We...
