  • Life in the slow lane? Demography and life histories of male and female sifaka ( Propithecus verreauxi verreauxi )

    Open AccessAlison F Richard, Robert E Dewar et al.ARTICLEJournal of Zoology2002

    A 16‐year study of wild, unprovisioned sifaka Propithecus verreauxi verreauxi at Beza Mahafaly in south‐west Madagascar provides estimates of age‐specific fertility, mortality, and dispersal in a population of 426 marked animals, and longitudinal records of individual life histories. Sifaka females give birth for the first time later and live longer, for their size, than mammals in other orders; they also give birth later and continue reproducing…

  • The relationship between unemployment, technological change and psychosocial work conditions in British Columbia sawmills

    Open AccessA Ostry, Marion Schwartz et al.ARTICLECritical Public Health2000

    In the early 1980s, the sawmill sector in British Columbia (BC), Canada experienced economic recession which was followed by industrial restructuring in many mills. This is an investigation of the relationship between unemployment, which occurred in the recession and the new psychosocial and physical work conditions in restructured workplaces using a cohort of approximately 29,000 sawmill workers in 14 BC sawmills. The purpose of this investigati…

  • Dispersal by Propithecus verreauxi at Beza Mahafaly, Madagascar

    Open AccessAlison F Richard, Pothin Rakotomanga et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Primatology1993

    From 1984 to 1991, 126 males and females were marked and monitored in a wild population of Propithecus verreauxi in southwest Madagascar. Animals were assigned birth years, based on known birth date or degree of dental wear calibrated by recapture data. Twenty‐one of 27 groups identified in 1984 persisted within stable home range boundaries, 6 groups disappeared, and 6 new groups formed. Only males transferred between existing groups, although in…

  • Demography of Propithecus verreauxi at Beza Mahafaly, Madagascar

    Open AccessAlison F Richard, Pothin Rakotomanga et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Physical…1991Cited by: 37References: 40

    Eighty‐five sifakas ( Propithecus verreauxi ) have been captured, marked, released, and monitored between September 1984 and August 1988 at the Beza Mahafaly Special Reserve in southwest Madagascar. Estimates are presented of the age and sex structure of this population and of age‐specific fertility and survival. Using data from this and other studies, it is shown that sifaka tertiary sex ratios do not depart significantly from 50:50, but that th…
