Dietary flexibility of the greater bamboo lemur ( Prolemur simus ), a specialized feeder, in eastern Madagascar
The degree of dietary flexibility in primates is species specific; some incorporate a wider array of resources than others. Extreme interannual weather variability in Madagascar results in seasonal resource scarcity which has been linked to specialized behaviors in lemurs. Prolemur simus , for example, has been considered an obligate specialist on large culm bamboo with >60% of its diet composed of woody bamboos requiring morphological and physio…
Locomotion of an adult female and juvenile male aye‐aye ( Daubentonia madagascariensis ) in Torotorofotsy, Madagascar
Aye‐ayes ( Daubentonia madagascariensis ) locate and acquire invertebrates from within woody substrates at all levels of the rainforest; yet how their locomotion helps them accommodate this diet has not been explored in detail. We studied the locomotor behavior of an adult female ( N = 1,085) and juvenile male ( N = 708) aye‐aye in the undisturbed forest of Torotorofotsy, Madagascar from May to December 2017. We used bout sampling to record locom…
Developmental Timeline of Wild Aye-Aye (Daubentonia madagascariensis) Infants in Kianjavato and Torotorofotsy, Madagascar
Re‐assessing the applicability of the Jarman/Bell model and Kay's threshold to the insectivorous aye‐aye ( Daubentonia madagascariensis )
OBJECTIVES: Jarman/Bell principle and Kay's threshold suggest that large animals should not be able to sustain themselves on insects. However, animals with specialized morphological and/or behavioral adaptations violate these assumptions. Male aye-ayes were recently identified as having an insectivorous diet despite weighing 2.5 kg. We further explored this diet/body size disparity by studying behaviors of an adult female and juvenile male aye-ay…
Comparing the use of live trees and deadwood for larval foraging by aye-ayes (Daubentonia madagascariensis) at Kianjavato and Torotorofotsy, Madagascar
