Multiple nuclear loci reveal patterns of incomplete lineage sorting and complex species history within western mouse lemurs (Microcebus).
Mouse lemurs (genus Microcebus) are nocturnal primates endemic to the island of Madagascar. Until recently, they were classified as two species, one from eastern and one from western Madagascar. Previously published analyses of morphometric and mitochondrial DNA data show strong support for the recognition of more than eight species, however. Here, we test the eight-species hypothesis with DNA ...
متن کاملSeasonal variation in the abundance and distribution of ticks that parasitize Microcebus griseorufus at the Bezà Mahafaly Special Reserve, Madagascar
At Bezà Mahafaly Special Reserve (BMSR), Madagascar, mouse lemurs (Microcebus griseorufus) are parasitized by multiple species of haemaphysaline ticks. At present we know little about the role ticks play in wild lemur populations and how they can alter interspecies relationships within communities or impact host fitness. In order to better understand these dynamics at BMSR, we examined parasite...
متن کاملIsland revelations
Madagascar is the world’s fourth largest island and is recognised as one of of the world’s top ten hotspots for biodiversity. Separated from Africa for 160 million years, it is home to between around 12,000 plant species of which nearly 10,000 are thought to be unique to the island. And much of its fauna is of great interest too, no more so than its lemurs, the primate family of major interest ...

متن کاملTracking year-to-year changes in intestinal nematode communities of rufous mouse lemurs (Microcebus rufus).
While it is known that intestinal parasite communities vary in their composition over time, there is a lack of studies addressing how variation in component communities (between-hosts) manifests in infracommunities (within-host) during the host lifespan. In this study, we investigate the changes in the intestinal parasite infracommunities in wild-living rufous mouse lemurs (Microcebus rufus) fr...
