We examined the mechanisms guiding male affiliative relationships among ring-tailed lemurs (Lemur catta) to investigate the adaptive significance of male social bonds in a female dominant, strictly seasonally breeding strepsirhine primate.To test whether male affiliative relationships were driven reproductive and/or ecological conditions, we compared the frequency of male affiliation across Female dominance in spotted-hyenas (Crocuta crocuta) and other sex dynamics rejecting biological differences as the basis for social practices. She … The ring-tailed lemur (Lemur catta) is a small, achromatic primate endemic to the island of Madagascar of the continent of Africa.Named for its long, thick tail with several distinctive black and white rings running along it from base to tip, this lemur is the only species of lemur that possess such a striped tail. The aye-aye (Daubentonia madagascariensis) is a long-fingered lemur, a strepsirrhine primate native to Madagascar with rodent-like teeth that perpetually grow and a special thin middle finger. It is the world's largest nocturnal primate. It is characterized its unusual method of finding food: it taps on trees to find grubs, then gnaws holes in the wood using its forward-slanting incisors The greater dwarf lemur (Cheirogaleus major), or the Geoffroy's dwarf lemur, is a lemur that is widely distributed over the primary and secondary forests near the eastern coast of Madagascar. They are also found in northern parts of Madagascar. Greater dwarf lemurs live in forests and dry scrub areas. Lemur catta Linnaeus, 1758, is a lemurid commonly called the ring-tailed lemur. A strikingly colored, long-tailed lemur, it is the only species in the genus Lemur. It occurs in the southern half of Madagascar, where it inhabits a variety of forested habitats. It is listed as Vulnerable the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources.

Lemur Social Systems and Lemur catta, the ring-tailed lemur (Fig. 4.9), is probably the most well-known Malagasy mammal.It is a gray animal with a long, striped tail; the sexes are monomorphic, meaning they look alike.Ring-tailed lemurs are diurnal (or perhaps cathemeral; Parga, 2011), live in the dry south of Madagascar, and feed both on the ground and in the trees.They are the most terrestrial of living On the basis of these search results, we calculated the percentage of papers from the search in PrimateLit that were published in the above mentioned journals. We also examined, on the basis of values summed up over 5-year periods, whether there is a temporal trend in the representation of primate ecology papers in ecological journals. Aaron A. Sandel, Evan L. MacLean, and Brian Hare have sought their own clarity in regards to primate cognitive evolution. Their 2011 article “Evidence from four lemur species that ringtailed lemur social cognition converges with that of haplorhine primates” explores the sociality of lemurs through the study of their ability to read social cues in scenarios related to food competition. Lemur behavior is as variable as lemur morphology. Differences in diet, social systems, activity patterns, locomotion, communication, predator avoidance tactics, breeding systems, and intelligence levels help define lemur taxa and set individual species apart from the rest. Continuing loss of natural systems could make human activities increasingly vulnerable to ecological surprises in the future. The most immediate impact of deforestation occurs at the local level with the loss of ecological services provided tropical rainforests and related ecosystems.
