Third-party vocal intervention in the proboscis monkey (Nasalis larvatus)
Vocal intervention is a triadic social interaction, where a third party responds vocally to a conflict between group members, minimizing the costs of aggression in response to the intervention. Because there is little information on vocal third-party intervention in nonhuman mammals, we investigated whether adult male proboscis monkeys use the bray vocalization as a vocal third-party intervention signal to intervene in intragroup conflicts. First…
Introduction to the Special Issue Celebrating the Life and Work of Elke Zimmermann
Over the 34 years of her career as a zoologist and primatologist, she became interested in and published on a large variety of research topics and study species ranging from amphibians to primates and worked with equal dedication on free-ranging animal populations and with standardized experimental approaches in captivity.Encouraged by her father, Elke became interested in zoology very early in life.She published her first article when she was 16…

High frequency/ultrasonic communication in a critically endangered nocturnal primate, Claire's mouse lemur ( Microcebus mamiratra )
The critically endangered Claire's mouse lemur, only found in the evergreen rain forest of the National Park Lokobe (LNP) and a few lowland evergreen rain forest fragments of northern Madagascar, was described recently. The present study provides the first quantified information on vocal acoustics of calls, sound associated behavioral context, acoustic niche, and vocal activity of this species. We recorded vocal and social behavior of six male-fe…
The role of acoustic signaling for spacing and group coordination in a nocturnal, pair‐living primate, the western woolly lemur ( Avahi occidentalis )
OBJECTIVES: How social groups govern their distribution in time and space is a central question in socioecology. The aim of this study is to explore the role of acoustic signaling for spacing and cohesiveness in a nocturnal, cohesive, pair-living strepsirrhine. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study was conducted in northwestern Madagascar. Six pairs of Avahi occidentalis were radio-collared and home range usage, vocalizations and call-associated behavi…
Screams in the Night: Pilot Study Reveals Moderate Evidence for Individual Differences in Lorisoid Vocalizations
Vocal acoustics in the endangered proboscis monkey ( Nasalis larvatus )
The endangered proboscis monkey (Nasalis larvatus) is a sexually highly dimorphic Old World primate endemic to the island of Borneo. Previous studies focused mainly on its ecology and behavior, but knowledge of its vocalizations is limited. The present study provides quantified information on vocal rate and on the vocal acoustics of the prominent calls of this species. We audio-recorded vocal behavior of 10 groups over two 4-month periods at the …
Wild mouse lemurs revisit artificial feeding platforms: Implications for field experiments on sensory and cognitive abilities in small primates
Dealing effectively with space to find important resources in a natural environment is a fundamental ability necessary for survival. Evidence has already been provided that wild gray mouse lemurs revisit stationary feeding sites regularly. In this study, we explore to what extent two sympatric mouse lemur species, Microcebus murinus and M. ravelobensis , revisited artificial feeding sites during a period of food scarcity. As the tested population…
Manual lateralization in early primates: A comparison of two mouse lemur species
In humans, 90% of the population is right handed. Although population hand preference has been found in some primate species, the evolution of manual lateralization in primates is not yet clear. To gain insight into manual lateralization of ancestral primates, we studied hand usage in unspecialized quadrupedal, nocturnal lemurs, using a large sample size. We compared two closely related mouse lemur species to explore the variation of hand prefere…
