Eulemur fulvus rufus has been described as having stable multi-male/multi-female groups, a male-biased sex ratio, and female philopatry. However, in a 16-year study of this subspecies we documented a great deal of demographic change as several groups

In this study, high-resolution computed tomography X-ray scanning was used to scan ring-tailed lemur (Lemur catta) copulatory plugs. This method produced accurate measures of plug volume and surface area, but was not useful for visualizing plug inter

In this study, we compare the behavioral development of captive male vervet monkeys (Chlorocebus pygerythrus) and Sykes’ monkeys (Cercopithecus albogularis) to male hybrids of these species. Focal animal sampling sessions were conducted on the stud

Scent-marking and olfactory communication are used extensively by prosimians and can provide spatial and temporal records of group movement and behavior. We compare rates of male scent-marking in relation to reproductive seasons, male dominance rank,

In this study, we compare the life-history patterns of male and female Eulemur fulvus rufus based on longitudinal data collected on individuals from two study groups from 1988–1998 in southeastern Madagascar. Mean group size was 9.5 individuals, an
