| population surveys of fork-marked dwarf lemurs and needle-clawed galagos. | fork-marked dwarf lemurs (phaner spp.) of madagascar and the needle-clawed galagos (euoticus spp.) of central-west africa are two genera within the primate suborder strepsirrhini. despite their distant relationship, these genera share remarkably convergent anatomical, behavioural and ecological characteristics. however, like most nocturnal primates in sub-saharan africa they are poorly studied and little is known about the population estimates of both genera. i conducted surveys of wild populati ... | 2018 | 29882030 |
| chromosomal evolution in "lemurs". vi. chromosomal banding studies of galago senegalensis, galago alleni, galago demidovii and euoticus elegantulus. | the karyotype of four galagidae (galago senegalensis, g. demidovii, g. alleni and euoticus elegantulus) are studied and compared with the aid of various banding techniques. many common chromosome segments were found, and it was possible to reconstruct a hypothetical ancestral karyotype for the family. it was also possible to show the relation between the chromosomes of galagidae with those of two lorisidae. the general scheme of chromosomal evolution of the lorisiforms can be proposed, resulting ... | 1982 | 7076058 |
| comparative functional analysis of skull morphology of tree-gouging primates. | many primates habitually feed on tree exudates such as gums and saps. among these exudate feeders, cebuella pygmaea, callithrix spp., phaner furcifer, and most likely euoticus elegantulus elicit exudate flow by biting into trees with their anterior dentition. we define this behavior as gouging. beyond the recent publication by dumont ([1997] am j phys anthropol 102:187-202), there have been few attempts to address whether any aspect of skull form in gouging primates relates to this specialized f ... | 2003 | 12541333 |
