Diurnal primates commonly modify their behaviour in response to predator vocalizations, but little is known about how nocturnal perceive calls. Mouse lemurs do not innately calls as dangerous may learn so the wild. I hypothesized that wild brown mouse ( Microcebus rufus ) Ranomafana National Park, Madagascar, differentiate between and non-predator vocalizations exposed 29 adult subjects of 3 sympatric predators (goshawk, fossa owl), non-predators 4 controls. Brown did among stimuli, there...
Abstract Predator odors such as urine and feces are known to elicit antipredator behaviors in prey including avoidance, fear, curiosity. We measured how wild brown mouse lemurs ( Microcebus rufus ) responded of mammalian, avian, snake predators well nonpredator controls. The first experiment took place under controlled conditions a laboratory where we recorded the occurrence four behavioral categories (ignore, curiosity, alert, fear) response single odor. Subjects exhibited change...
Estimates of population size are fundamental to setting conservation priorities for threatened primate species. Many taxa in the lemur genus Lepilemur remain understudied, and basic statistics often dated, incomplete, or absent. Hubbard’s sportive ( hubbardorum ) is known only from Zombitse-Vohibasia National Park region southwestern Madagascar. It listed as Endangered by IUCN owing its fragmented, declining habitat limited geographic range. However, this classification has not been...
Abstract Zombitse‐Vohibasia National Park harbours a species‐rich but understudied lemur community in southwestern Madagascar. Local population estimates are dated or absent for its four sympatric species of Cheirogaleidae: the grey mouse ( Microcebus murinus ), Coquerel's giant Mirza coquereli fat‐tailed dwarf Cheirogaleus medius ) and pale fork‐marked Phaner pallescens ). To provide local density encounter rate these cheirogaleids, we conducted line transect surveys Zombitse sector over...
