Acoustic characterization of ultrasonic vocalizations by a nocturnal primate Tarsius syrichta
Altitude and Forest Edges Influence the Density and Distribution of Pygmy Tarsiers ( Tarsius pumilus )
In this study, we examine how high‐altitude ecology and anthropogenic edges relate to the density and distribution of pygmy tarsiers. Pygmy tarsiers ( Tarsius pumilus ) are extremely small‐bodied primates (55 g) that are endemic to high‐altitude forest and exhibit several differences from lowland Sulawesian tarsier species. From June to September 2010 and January to March 2012, we conducted a population census of pygmy tarsiers across multiple al…

Function of snake mobbing in spectral tarsiers
Numerous species are known for their tendency to approach and confront their predators as a group. This behavior is known as mobbing. Snakes seem to be one of the more consistent recipients of this type of predator‐directed behavior. This paper explores individual differences (sex and age) in the mobbing behavior of the spectral tarsier toward live and model snakes. This study was conducted at Tangkoko Nature Reserve (Sulawesi, Indonesia) during …
Predator Mobbing in Tarsius spectrum
Associations between adult spectral tarsiers
While anecdotal observations of gregarious behavior in nocturnal prosimian primates are common, most anthropologists continue to refer to them as solitary, perhaps based on the assumption that the occasional social interactions observed via ad libitum methods represent random chance encounters and not patterned social interactions. In this paper, I test the null hypothesis that nocturnal encounters between spectral tarsier ( Tarsius spectrum ) gr…
Lunar Philia in a Nocturnal Primate
The behavioral ecology of the spectral tarsier, Tarsius spectrum
Sociality in the spectral tarsier,Tarsius spectrum
Recent studies indicate that many of the nocturnal prosimian primates are gregarious rather than solitary. This paper shows that the spectral tarsier is gregarious during its nightly activity period as well as in its sleeping tree. Using mist nets and radiotelemetry, focal follows were conducted on six groups at Tangkoko Nature Reserve in Sulawesi, Indonesia. During 442 focal follows, 1072 encounters between a focal adult group member and another…

Effect of Seasonality on the Behavior of an Insectivorous Primate, Tarsius spectrum
Effects of radio transmitter weight on a small nocturnal primate
An increasing number of primatologists have begun using radio telemetry to study the behavioral ecology of nocturnal prosimian primates. Radio telemetry has enabled the collection of data on these nocturnal and cryptic prosimians that was previously difficult or impossible to otherwise obtain. A critical assumption of studies employing radio telemetry is that the radio transmitters have no appreciable negative effects on the study animals and the…
