Ontogeny of Diet and Behavior of a Wild, Critically Endangered Lemur ( Indri indri )
The early developmental period plays a key role in primate behavioral outcomes. Understanding the behavioral ecology of infant indris ( Indri indri ) helps to identify resources needed during early developmental stages, the weaning process, and the role of mothers in developing infants' survival abilities. In this study, we investigated the behavioral and dietary development of wild Indri indri in Madagascar. We found that infants undergo signifi…
Singing in the rain! Climate constraints on the occurrence of indri's song
The study of how animals adapt their behaviors depending on weather variables has gained particular significance in the context of climate change. This exploration offers insights into endangered species' potential threats and provides information on the direction to take in conservation activities. In this context, noninvasive, cost‐effective, and potentially long‐term monitoring systems, such as Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM), become particu…
Feeding Ecology and Regurgitation–Reingestion Behavior of the Critically Endangered Indri indri in the Maromizaha Protected Area, Eastern Madagascar
Comparative Analysis of the Vocal Repertoires of the Indri (Indri indri) and the Diademed Sifaka (Propithecus diadema)
Strepsirrhine vocalisations are extraordinarily diverse and cross-species comparisons are needed to explore how this variability evolved. We contributed to the investigation of primate acoustic diversity by comparing the vocal repertoire of two sympatric lemur species, Propithecus diadema and Indri indri. These diurnal species belong to the same taxonomic family and have similar activity patterns but different social structures. These features ma…
Marking Versus Overmarking
In mammals, olfactory communication plays an essential role in territorial and mating dynamics. Scent depositions in various species, including lemurs, can be placed via marking or overmarking (marking over previous depositions). We focused on the role that marking and overmarking play in territorial defence and intrasexual competition. We investigated these aspects in diademed sifaka ( Propithecus diadema ) in the primary rainforest of Maromizah…
Sexually dimorphic phrase organization in the song of the indris ( Indri indri )
Animal acoustic communication often takes the form of complex sequences, composed of multiple distinct acoustic units, which can vary in their degree of stereotypy. Studies of sequence variation may contribute to our understanding of the structural flexibility of primates' songs, which can provide essential ecological and behavioral information about variability at the individual, population, and specific level and provide insights into the mecha…
Intra- and Intergroup Spatial Dynamics of a Pair-Living Singing Primate, Indri indri
Evidence of genetic monogamy in the lemur Indri ( Indri indri )
Monogamy is a rare strategy among mammals but relatively common among primates. The study of the evolution of monogamy in mammals and primates is lacking empirical studies that assess the relationship between a pair‐living social organization and genetic monogamy. Sexual or genetic monogamy can only be assessed by performing molecular analyses and investigating rates of extra‐pair paternity (EPP). Studying the occurrence of EPP can provide valuab…
First ethnobotanical inventory and phytochemical analysis of plant species used by indigenous people living in the Maromizaha forest, Madagascar
Exploring Local Perceptions of and Attitudes toward Endangered François’ Langurs (Trachypithecus francoisi) in a Human-Modified Habitat
Comparative Analysis of the Vocal Repertoire of Eulemur
Behavioral correlates of extra-pair copulation in Indri indri
Vocal Tract Morphology Determines Species-Specific Features in Vocal Signals of Lemurs (Eulemur)
The use of Artificial Neural Networks to classify primate vocalizations
The identification of the vocal repertoire of a species represents a crucial prerequisite for a correct interpretation of animal behavior. Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) have been widely used in behavioral sciences, and today are considered a valuable classification tool for reducing the level of subjectivity and allowing replicable results across different studies. However, to date, no studies have applied this tool to nonhuman primate vocali…
