The mongoose lemur (Eulemur mongoz) is a small primate in the family Lemuridae, native to Madagascar and the Comoros Islands. (tinyblue.info)
Six species were members of the family Lemuridae (Eulemur coronatus, E. flavifrons, E. mongoz, L. catta, V. rubra, V. variegata), while a seventh was strictly diurnal and included as an out‐group (Propithecus coquereli). (camntech.com)
The Crowned Lemur, also known as Eulemur coronatus , is a species of lemur that belongs to the family Lemuridae. (wwnature.com)
Lemurs6
Despite Madagascar's status as a primate mega-diversity country, a critical lack of information on the hunting of lemurs at the national scale persists. (montclair.edu)
Interestingly, subfossil lemurs are outliers in HHO scaling relationships that have been discovered for haplorhine primates and other mammals. (nyu.edu)
We gathered the largest sample to date of HHO data from histological sections of primate teeth (including the subfossil lemurs) to assess the relationship of these chronobiological measures with life history-related variables including body mass, brain size, age at first female reproduction, and activity level.

Lemur10
This first national-level assessment of hunting, including one-third of Madagascar's lemur species and more than a tenth of the world's primates, identifies regional variation and lemur taxa at acute risk from hunting-important steps toward developing targeted strategies to conserve one of the world's most threatened groups of vertebrates. (montclair.edu)
The ring-tailed lemur is a large strepsirrhine primate and the most recognized lemur due to its long, black and white ringed tail. (charlespaddockzoo.org)
Despite the lack of a large brain (relative to simiiform primates) experiments have shown that the Ring-tailed Lemur can organize sequences, understand basic arithmetic operations and preferentially select tools based on functional qualities. (phylogame.org)
Unlike most diurnal primates, but like all strepsirhine primates, the Ring-tailed Lemur has a tapetum lucidum , or reflective layer behind the retina of the eye, that enhances night vision . (phylogame.org)
A gray mouse lemur herpesvirus clustered with other primate herpesviruses within the subfamily Betaherpesvirinae, just basal to the genus Cytomegalovirus. (bvsalud.org)
One of these primates, the mouse lemur, has been widely studied as a model of cerebral aging or Alzheimer's disease. (bvsalud.org)
This comprehensive examination will provide valuable insights into the biology and conservation status of the Crowned Lemur while highlighting significant areas for further research in order to ensure long-term survival for this unique primate species. (wwnature.com)
Species6
Non-human primates are potentially informative but underutilized species for investigating obesity. (bvsalud.org)
Among non-human primates, relative body mass was unrelated to dietary niche, and was marginally greater among female cohorts of terrestrial species. (bvsalud.org)
Several primate species, including chimpanzees, a sister-species to humans, had relative body masses similar to humans. (bvsalud.org)
Non-human primates are a critical species for the identification of key biological mechanisms in normal and pathological aging. (bvsalud.org)
Currently this species is classified as Endangered (EN) and its numbers are decreasing. (animalia.bio)
Further research is needed to fully understand the complexity and nuances of social behavior and communication in this unique primate species. (wwnature.com)

Diurnal primates1
These mostly diurnal primates are social animals, living in groups of 5 to 15 individuals, the average size of the group being 5 or 6. (animalia.bio)
Seed Dispersal1
Sivault E, McConkey K, Bretagnolle F, Sengupta A, Lambert J*, Heymann EW *, Herrel A*, Forget PM* (in press) Body mass and skull dimensions predict seed dispersal capacity in bats, primates and carnivores from tropical forests. (dpz.eu)
I examined patterns of obesity across the Primate order, calculating the ratio of body mass in captivity to that in the wild. (bvsalud.org)
Histology1
Skeletal histology supports the hypothesis that primate life histories are regulated by a neuroendocrine rhythm, the Havers-Halberg Oscillation (HHO). (nyu.edu)
The proposed method is applied to the primate mandible image data to extract morphological features that reflect the characteristics of the groups to which the organisms belong and then those features are visualized. (biorxiv.org)
Anatomy2
Myological variation in the forearm anatomy of Callitrichidae and Lemuridae. (ncsu.edu)
Abstract The anatomy of the primate forearm is frequently investigated in terms of locomotor mode, substrate use, and manual dexterity. (ncsu.edu)
Ratio1
Due to male intrasexual competition, the sex ratio of groups of anthropoid primates is generally female-biased. (uni-wuerzburg.de)
Variation3
In this study, we present a focused evaluation of the variation in muscle organization, integration, and architecture within two speciose primate families: the Callitrichidae and Lemuridae. (ncsu.edu)
Intraspecific and intrafamilial variation in primate forearm muscle architecture. (ncsu.edu)
Thus, little is known about intraspecific variation in forearm muscle fiber architecture in primates, and whether there are notable differences in these variables between closely related taxa. (ncsu.edu)
Length2
The current study addresses these deficits by assessing both qualitative (presence/absence of specific muscles) and quantitative (physiological cross-sectional area [PCSA], fascicle length [FL] and muscle mass [MM]) differences in forearm muscle architecture of larger intraspecific and samples with greater coverage of specific primate families than had been included in previous work.

Although many studies have characterized catarrhine and platyrrhine primate herpesviruses, little is known about herpesviruses in prosimians. (bvsalud.org)

Families1
The proposed method is applied to the image dataset of the primate mandible to extract morphological features, which allow us to distinguish different families in a low dimensional latent space. (biorxiv.org)
