Background
Wildlife conservation often focuses on establishing protected areas, however, these conservation zones are frequently developed without adequate knowledge of the movement patterns of the species they are designed to protect. Understanding movement and foraging patterns of species in dynamic and diverse habitats can allow managers to deve...

Context 1
... each forest type, we followed one group in primary forest towards the center of 210 the forest (hereafter interior; characterized by lemurs having a home range at least 300 211 meters from the forest edge) and one group on the edge of the forest fragment (hereafter 212 edge; characterized by having a home range adjacent to the forest edge). Average group 213 size was six individuals and ranged from five to eight (Table 1) ...Context 2
... found that lemur habitat selection varied with forest type (Table 7) and within forest 497 type, selection varied by season (Table 8, Tables S1 -S3). Thus, to make inferences 498 about differences in selection across forest type and season, we parsed the data into forest 499 type and then again into season. ...Similar publications
This study aims to understand the behavior territoriality of the lemur Decken's Sifaka Propithecus deckenii in the Protected Areas (PAs) Complexe Tsimembo Manambolomaty and Mandrozo in the central-west of Madagascar between November 2017 and April 2018, and between July and October 2018. The continuous focal animal sampling method was used to monit...
Background
Various aspects of sociality can benefit individuals’ health. The host social environment and its relative contributions to the host-microbiome relationship have emerged as key topics in microbial research. Yet, understanding the mechanisms that lead to structural variation in the social microbiome, the collective microbial metacommunity...
In mammals, olfactory communication plays an essential role in territorial and mating dynamics. Scent depositions in various species, including lemurs, can be placed via marking or overmarking (marking over previous depositions). We focused on the role that marking and overmarking play in territorial defence and intrasexual competition. We investig...
