Lemur catta in small forest fragments
Habitat fragmentation is an increasingly serious issue affecting primates in most regions where they are found today. Populations of Lemur catta (ring‐tailed lemur) in Madagascar's south‐central region are increasingly restricted to small, isolated forest fragments, surrounded by grasslands or small‐scale agriculture. Our aim was to evaluate the potential for population viability of L. catta in nine forest fragments of varying sizes (2–46 ha, pop…
Surviving in fragmented landscapes
Research Highlights The papers included in this special issue examine interspecific responses to habitat fragmentation by primate populations We identify intra and interspecific variables that can help predict primate population viability and potential persistence in fragmented landscapes
Paternity in wild ring‐tailed lemurs ( Lemur catta )
In group-living species with male dominance hierarchies where receptive periods of females do not overlap, high male reproductive skew would be predicted. However, the existence of female multiple mating and alternative male mating strategies can call into question single-male monopolization of paternity in groups. Ring-tailed lemurs (Lemur catta) are seasonally breeding primates that live in multi-male, multi-female groups. Although established …
Teaching critical health literacy in the US as a means to action on the social determinants of health
In spite of improvements in global health over the 20th century, health inequities are increasing. Mounting evidence suggests that reducing health inequities requires taking action on the social determinants of health (SDOH), which include income, education, employment, political empowerment and other factors. This paper introduces an alternative health education curriculum, developed by the US-based non-profit organization Just Health Action, wh…
Variation in dental wear and tooth loss among known‐aged, older ring‐tailed lemurs ( Lemur catta )
Tooth wear is generally an age‐related phenomenon, often assumed to occur at similar rates within populations of primates and other mammals, and has been suggested as a correlate of reduced offspring survival among wild lemurs. Few long‐term wild studies have combined detailed study of primate behavior and ecology with dental analyses. Here, we present data on dental wear and tooth loss in older (>10 years old) wild and captive ring‐tailed lemurs…
A comparison of salivary pH in sympatric wild lemurs ( Lemur catta and Propithecus verreauxi ) at Beza Mahafaly Special Reserve, Madagascar
Chemical deterioration of teeth is common among modern humans, and has been suggested for some extinct primates. Dental erosion caused by acidic foods may also obscure microwear signals of mechanical food properties. Ring‐tailed lemurs at the Beza Mahafaly Special Reserve (BMSR), Madagascar, display frequent severe tooth wear and subsequent tooth loss. In contrast, sympatric Verreaux's sifaka display far less tooth wear and infrequent tooth loss,…
Variation in fecal testosterone levels, inter‐male aggression, dominance rank and age during mating and post‐mating periods in wild adult male ring‐tailed lemurs ( Lemur catta )
In primate species exhibiting seasonal reproduction, patterns of testosterone excretion in adult males are variable: in some species, peaks correlate with female receptivity periods and heightened male–male aggression over access to estrous females, in others, neither heightened aggression nor marked elevations in testosterone have been noted. In this study, we examined mean fecal testosterone ( f T) levels and intermale aggression in wild adult …
Effects of reproductive and social variables on fecal glucocorticoid levels in a sample of adult male ring‐tailed lemurs ( Lemur catta ) at the Beza Mahafaly Reserve, Madagascar
Glucocorticoids, a group of adrenal hormones, are secreted in response to stress. In male primates, variables such as breeding seasonality, dominance hierarchy stability, and aggressive and affiliative interactions can affect glucocorticoid levels. In this study, we examined interindividual differences in mean fecal glucocorticoid (fGC) levels among males in three groups of wild ring‐tailed lemurs to better understand the physiological costs of g…
