ABSTRACT Lemurs, a highly diverse primate group endemic to Madagascar, have captivated the attention of researchers for nearly 120 years. Here, we conducted literature review and bibliometric analysis provide an overview how various aspects “Lemurology” or scientific studies lemurs, changed over time. Focusing only on original articles, described trends in topics taxa studied, publication languages, authorship, study sites. We used two datasets: one from Web Science (WoS; 2223 articles)...
Abstract Objectives The investigation of morphological variation in animals is widely used taxonomy, ecology, and evolution. Using large datasets for meta‐analyses has dramatically increased, raising concerns about dataset compatibilities biases introduced by contributions multiple researchers. Materials Methods We compiled data on 13 variables 3073 individual mouse lemurs (Cheirogaleidae, Microcebus spp.) from 25 taxa 153 different sampling locations, measured 48 applied a filtering...
Abstract Fruit‐eating animals play important roles as seed dispersal agents in terrestrial systems. Yet, the extent to which by nocturnal omnivores may facilitate germination and recruitment of plant communities has rarely been investigated. Characterizing their is necessary provide a more complete picture how processes affect ecosystem functioning. We investigated impacts two species omnivorous lemur species, Microcebus jollyae M. rufus , on Madagascar's rain forests, through analysis fecal...
Finding sleeping sites is important for the fitness of many mammal species. Like most nonhuman primates, Madagascar's mouse lemurs (genus:
Abstract In tropical forests, most plant species rely on frugivorous animals for seed dispersal services. Such mutualisms are imperiled by defaunation, which disproportionately affects large-bodied vertebrates and may impact the interactions of large-seeded plants they disperse. However, frugivore-mediated (zoochory) not be only mechanism ensuring a given species. With focus canopy trees in genus Canarium rainforests Madagascar, thought to dispersed lemur species, we investigated...
Abstract Certain plant species have traits adapted for seed dispersal by megafauna, which may be absent in their current ranges. Characterizing the mechanism of such can provide insights about population dynamics and regeneration. We investigated effectiveness extant fauna as dispersers Malagasy baobab, Adansonia grandidieri , megafaunal traits. documented animal that interact with its fruits seeds canopy on ground through direct observations, camera trapping, opportunistic search feces...
The concept of “facilitated restoration” aims at native biodiversity reinstatement with the help animal seed dispersers attracted by fruiting trees. Yet, large-crowned trees will have to develop in early stages restoration; therefore, dispersal provided small generalist mammals and birds that use rapidly growing herbs, shrubs, forest succession would accelerate restoration. Due elusive lifestyle these animals, it is unclear what species can contribute this process. Using primate genus...
Abstract Historically, Internet access has been linked to a country’s wealth. However, starting decade ago, this situation changed dramatically and became increasingly available in primate range countries. The rapid growth of smartphone use developing nations created new avenues communicate conservation. Here we assess the potential social media promote conservation at local level within We interviewed 381 people communities associated with 18 projects from 11 countries their media. found...
We present here a commentary essay on the challenges and perspectives recruitment retention of Malagasy women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics). base our personal experience as scientists support arguments with responses 60 to an online survey that was shared among scientists. identified main causes for limited number relied upon traditional expectations heavily ingrained cultural values. The situation becomes more complicated when accounting familial constraints,...
