| ecoethological study of free-ranging aye-ayes (daubentonia madagascariensis) in madagascar. | an ecoethological study was undertaken on the activity rhythms, diet, ranging and social behavior of 3 aye-ayes. preliminary information on reproduction and mother-infant relations are given. the study included research into the different habitat types in which the aye-aye was found within the biosphere reserve at mananara-nord. in addition, the impact of habitat degradation on aye-aye ecology was investigated. the aye-ayes spent the majority of time in locomotion; resting accounted for a surpri ... | 1994 | 7721207 |
| evidence for nonseasonal reproduction in wild aye-ayes (daubentonia madagascariensis). | the lemurs of madagascar typically exhibit a strictly seasonal pattern of breeding, with a limited number of successive estrous cycles occurring at a particular time of the year, which varies from species to species. previous reports indicated that aye-ayes also exhibit such a strictly seasonal polyestrous pattern. data from the author's 2-year field study of aye-ayes on the island of nosy mangabe, combined with information from recently initiated captive breeding programs, now indicate that thi ... | 1994 | 7721208 |
| maintenance and breeding of aye-ayes (daubentonia madagascariensis) in captivity: a review. | the husbandry practices of the 3 institutions currently holding captive aye-ayes outside madagascar (jersey wildlife preservation trust, duke university primate center and paris zoo) are reviewed. information on housing, diet, oestrous cycles and infant rearing is included. aye-ayes are active, nocturnal animals that are mainly solitary in the wild. they need large cages that are well furnished with arboreal substrates. captive diet consists of fruit, nuts, insects and a pellet- or cereal-based ... | 1994 | 7721209 |
| field observations of aye-ayes (daubentonia madagascariensis) in madagascar. | data are presented from a field study of aye-ayes (daubentonia madagascariensis) in an area of degraded secondary forest in northeast madagascar. animals were followed by radiotelemetry for 3 months during the cool dry season, when productivity of the forest is at a minimum. population density was variable. male home ranges were larger and overlapped the range of at least 1 female. male ranges also overlapped, and areas of overlap could be occupied by 2 animals simultaneously. most of the partie ... | 1994 | 7721206 |

| dietary intake, food composition and nutrient intake in wild and captive populations of daubentonia madagascariensis. | data are presented on dietary and nutrient intake in a wild population of aye-ayes. study animals ate 4 main food types: seeds, nectar, fungus and insect larvae. calculated calorie intake was slightly lower during the cold season than during the hot, wet and the hot, dry seasons. total intakes almost doubled to compensate for the lower energy content of the diet during the cold season. comparison of natural and captive diets suggests that maintenance and even growth requirements of aye-ayes can ... | 1994 | 7721197 |

| the aye-aye (daubentonia madagascariensis) found in the eastern rainforest of madagascar. | in the course of a study on the ecology of nocturnal lemurs several aye-aye (daubentonia madagascariensis) were seen in the eastern rainforest of madagascar near perinet. these observations of the aye-aye in a forest of higher altitude suggest a still much wider distribution of this species than previously thought. | 1986 | 3804102 |
| modified subfossil aye-aye incisors from southwestern madagascar: species allocation and paleoecological significance. | two of the three drilled aye-aye incisors collected in 1901 by grandidier at the subfossil site of lamboharana were recently rediscovered in uncatalogued collections of the institut de paléontologie in paris. these teeth are not much wider or thicker than those of the extant aye-aye (daubentonia madagascariensis), but their arc of curvature is noticeably greater. these facts indicate that the teeth probably belong to d. robusta, a large extinct aye-aye whose dentition is otherwise unknown. no ot ... | 1988 | 3254846 |
| ecology and conservation of the crowned lemur, lemur coronatus, at ankarana, n. madagascar. with notes on sanford's lemur, other sympatrics and subfossil lemurs. | forests of ankarana limestone massif in northern madagascar support one of the largest and least disturbed populations of crowned lemurs, lemur coronatus. this paper reports a preliminary study of the ecology of this species in the ankarana special reserve conducted at the end of the dry season in 1986, with additional information collected a year later. crowned lemurs occur in very high densities in the semi-deciduous canopy forest and this probably represents a dry season refuge for the specie ... | 1989 | 2807091 |
| conservation biology of malagasy strepsirhines: a phylogenetic approach. | the phylogenetic diversity of extant lemurs represents one of the most important but least studied aspects of the conservation biology of primates. the phylogenetic diversity of a species is inversely proportional to the relative number and closeness of its phylogenetic relatives. phylogenetic diversity can then be used to determine conservation priorities for specific biogeographic regions. although malagasy strepsirhines represent the highest phylogenetic diversity among primates at the global ... | 2006 | 16365858 |
| characterization and evolution of major histocompatibility complex class ii genes in the aye-aye, daubentonia madagascariensis. | major histocompatibility complex genes (mhc-dqb and mhc-drb) were sequenced in seven aye-ayes (daubentonia madagascariecsis), which is an endemic and endangered species in madagascar. an aye-aye from a north-eastern population showed genetic relatedness to individuals of a north-western population and had a somewhat different repertoire from another north-eastern individual. these observations suggest that the extent of genetic variation in mhc genes is not excessively small in the aye-aye in sp ... | 2005 | 15322927 |
| development of behaviour in a young aye-aye (daubentonia madagascariensis) in captivity. | this paper provides descriptive and quantitative information on the development of a young aye-aye in captivity during its first 10 months of life. the mother's behaviour was observed to provide an adult standard against which to evaluate the young male's development. early development of the young aye-aye (including early vocalizations, locomotion and manipulation, acquisition of independence from the mother, threat/defence and alarm) is described in qualitative terms. quantitative data on a nu ... | 1994 | 7721214 |
| infant development in a captive-bred aye-aye (daubentonia madagascariensis) over the first year of life. | an adult wild-caught female aye-aye (daubentonia madagascariensis) and her captive-bred offspring were studied for 2 weeks pre partum and 52 weeks post partum. data on activity, substrate use, approach-leave interactions and social interactions were recorded in 30-min samples. observations on the mother were started 10 days pre partum, and 2 h of data were collected on each of 9 days up to birth. observations in each week were split evenly over 5 days and between two 4-hour blocks of time during ... | 1994 | 7721212 |
