Codetection of Respiratory Syncytial Virus in Habituated Wild Western Lowland Gorillas and Humans During a Respiratory Disease Outbreak
Conservation education in Madagascar
Few Malagasy children and adults are aware of the rare and unique fauna and flora indigenous to their island‐continent, including flagship lemur species. Even the Malagasy ancestral proverbs never mentioned lemurs, but these same proverbs talked about the now extinct hippopotamus. Madagascar's geography, history, and economic constraints contribute to severe biodiversity loss. Deforestation on Madagascar is reported to be over 100,000 ha/year, wi…

Social system of the Alaotran gentle lemur ( Hapalemur griseus alaotrensis )
Group composition and mating system were investigated in wild Alaotran gentle lemurs ( Hapalemur griseus alaotrensis ) using genetic markers. These small‐bodied herbivorous and cathemeral primates are endemic to the reed and papyrus beds around Lac Alaotra in Madagascar. They live in small groups in small, defended territories. Data were collected during the rainy seasons in 1996, 1997, and 1999, and include 99 individuals from 22 neighboring soc…
Food Sharing in Pied Bare-Faced Tamarins (Saguinus bicolor bicolor)
Food sharing in black lion tamarins (Leontopithecus chrysopygus)
Food sharing behavior was investigated by studying 10 captive black lion tamarin (Leontopithecus chrysopygus) infants (six litters) between the ages of four and 26 weeks. The frequency of sharing by parents in response to infant begging increased steadily from the age of five to nine weeks, but then declined gradually, although infants were still receiving food even at 26 weeks. Until the age of 15 weeks, infants received more food items by trans…
Social organization of the Alaotran gentle lemur (Hapalemur griseus alaotrensis)
Knowledge of the social organization of lemurs is still limited for most species. Where there is sufficient information, it has been shown that lemur social organization differs in essential points from that of other primates. In the field study reported here, demographic structure and life-history processes were investigated in order to characterize the social organization of the Alaotran gentle lemur (Hapalemur griseus alaotrensis). Data were o…
Cross-generic Food Sharing in Tamarins
Group encounters and territoriality in wild Alaotran gentle lemurs (Hapalemur griseus alaotrensis)
During a 3 month field study, 18 group encounters between four groups of Alaotran gentle lemurs (Hapalemur griseus alaotrensis) were observed in the Lake Alaotra marshland in Madagascar. Behaviors observed during group encounters are described, and quantitative data on intergroup interactions and ranging patterns are discussed in the context of territoriality. Intergroup interactions varied in their intensity, ranging from visual monitoring, scen…
Food sharing in lion tamarins
Infant marmosets and tamarins (Callitrichidae) frequently receive food from older group members. Three possible functions of food sharing in lion tamarins were examined experimentally. The first hypothesis, that food sharing ensures that infants receive sufficient food even if it is difficult for them to acquire it themselves, was tested by varying the ease with which infants could reach a food source. When access to food was restricted, infants …
