Myrmecophagous microwear: Implications for diet in the hominin fossil record
Lemur habitat and dental senescence in Ranomafana National Park, Madagascar
Not only can teeth provide clues about diet, but they also can be indicators of habitat quality. Conspecific groups living in different habitats with different kinds of foods may exhibit different rates of dental attrition because their teeth are less well adapted to some foods than to others. Ecological disequilibrium describes the situation in which animals live in habitats to which they are relatively poorly adapted. We test whether dental sen…
Seed handling by three prosimian primates in southeastern Madagascar: Implications for seed dispersal
In this paper, we studied three species of prosimian primate (Propithecus diadema edwardsi, Eulemur fulvus rufus, and Eulemur rubriventer) from June–July 1995 at the Ranomafana National Park to answer three questions: 1) how they handle and process seeds, 2) how the physical properties of seeds influence seed handling and seed fate, and 3) whether handling and processing patterns influence seed dispersal. Seeds from five plant species were collec…

Primate Faunivores: Physical Properties of Prey Items
Seasonal variation in activity and diet in a small‐bodied folivorous primate, Hapalemur griseus, in southeastern Madagascar
Seasonal variation in activity and diet in a small‐bodied folivorous primate, Hapalemur griseus, in southeastern Madagascar
How small-bodied (500–1,200 g) folivorous prosimian primates cope with large amounts of foliage in their diet seasonally has yet to be determined for many species such as Hapalemur griseus, which specializes on bamboo. To address this issue, we present results on seasonal variation in activity and diet from a wild group of H. griseus in southeastern Madagascar. Throughout the study (which was conducted from July–November 1994 and July 1995–Februa…
Tooth use and the physical properties of food
For decades, natural historians and comparative anatomists have acknowledged the form/function relationship between an animal's dentition and its food. Historically, anthropologists have cited this relationship to explain adaptations observed in modern species as well as to infer the diets of extinct animals found in the fossil record. Anthropologists have described morphological differences between species that permit dietary niche partitioning …
Molar microwear in extant small‐bodied faunivorous mammals: An analysis of feature density and pit frequency
This study quantitatively examined molar microwear in nine species of extant small‐bodied faunivorous primates and microchiropterans. Comparative analyses were performed within the food category faunivory, both between hard‐ and soft‐object feeding faunivores and between primarily insectivorous and carnivorous taxa. Additionally, microwear in faunivores was compared to that reported in the literature for frugivorous and folivorous primates. The r…
