| lemur responses to edge effects in the vohibola iii classified forest, madagascar. | forest edges are dynamic zones characterized by the penetration (to varying depths and intensities) of conditions from the surrounding environment (matrix) into the forest interior. although edge effects influence many tropical organisms, they have not been studied directly in primates. edge effects are particularly relevant to lemurs because of the highly fragmented forest landscapes found in madagascar. in this study, data are presented regarding how the densities of six lemur species (avahi l ... | 2006 | 16477598 |
| edge effects and their influence on lemur density and distribution in southeast madagascar. | edge effects are caused by the penetration of abiotic and biotic conditions from the matrix into forest interiors. although edge effects influence the biogeography of many tropical organisms, they have not been studied directly in primates. edge effects are particularly relevant to lemurs due to the loss of 80-90% of forests in madagascar. in this study, data are presented on how biotic edge effects influenced the distribution and density of lemurs in the vohibola iii classified forest in southe ... | 2006 | 16323178 |
