Parasitologic analyses of the sifaka (Propithecus verreauxi verreauxi) at Beza Mahafaly, Madagascar.

One reserve, three primates: applying a holistic approach to understand the interconnections among ring-tailed lemurs (<i>Lemur catta</i>), Verreaux's sifaka (Propithecus verreauxi), and humans (<i>Homo sapiens</i>) at Beza Mahafaly Special Reserve, Madag

Life in the slow lane? Demography and life histories of male and female sifaka (Propithecus verreauxi verreauxi)

A 16-year study of wild, unprovisioned sifaka Propithecus verreauxi verreauxi at Beza Mahafaly in southwest Madagascar provides estimates of age-speci®c fertility, mortality, and dispersal in a population of 426 marked animals, and longitudinal records of individual life histories. Sifaka females give birth for the ®rst time later and live longer, for their size, than mammals in other orders; t...

Genetic population structure of the white sifaka (Propithecus verreauxi verreauxi) at Beza Mahafaly Special Reserve, southwest Madagascar (1992-2001).

Gene flow within and between social groups is contingent on behaviourally mediated patterns of mating and dispersal. To understand how these patterns affect the genetic structure of primate populations, long-term data are required. In this study, we analyse 10 years of demographic and genetic data from a wild lemur population (Propithecus verreauxi verreauxi) at Beza Mahafaly Special Reserve, s...

Polyboroides radiatus predation attempts on Propithecus verreauxi.

Observations of raptor predation on lemurs are rare [reviewed in Goodman et al., 1993], but indirect evidence derived from raptor prey remains [Karpanty and Goodman, 1999; Thorstrom and La Marca, 2000], raptor pellets [Goodman et al., 1993], and vocal/behavioral responses to potential avian and terrestrial predators [Sauther, 1989; Karpanty and Grella, 2001; Schülke, 2001; Fichtel and Kappeler,...
