The article discusses the discovery of dwarf lemurs in the Itremo Protected Area in Madagascar, which is managed by the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew. Previous surveys had identified other lemur species in the area, but the presence of dwarf lemurs is a new finding. The researchers conducted trapping and nocturnal surveys to gather more information about the dwarf lemurs and confirm their genetic identity. The article emphasizes the need for further research and conservation efforts in the Itremo Protected Area. Additionally, the article mentions the recolonization of black-and-white ruffed lemurs in a disturbed forest in Ranomafana National Park, challenging the belief that they are always absent from disturbed sites. The researchers fitted GPS collars on three lemurs to monitor their behavior and health. [Extracted from the article] |
