| phylogenomic reconstruction of sportive lemurs (genus lepilemur) recovered from mitogenomes with inferences for madagascar biogeography. | the family lepilemuridae includes 26 species of sportive lemurs, most of which were recently described. the cryptic morphological differences confounded taxonomy until recent molecular studies; however, some species’ boundaries remain uncertain. to better understand the genus lepilemur, we analyzed 35 complete mitochondrial genomes representing all recognized 26 sportive lemur taxa and estimated divergence dates. with our dataset we recovered 25 reciprocally monophyletic lineages, as well as an ... | 2017 | 28173059 |
| use of space and home range characteristics of lepilemur mittermeieri, an endangered sportive lemur endemic to the ampasindava peninsula, north-west madagascar. | lepilemur mittermeieri, a little-studied sportive lemur of north-west madagascar, endemic to the ampasindava peninsula, faces habitat loss through forest degradation and rapid fragmentation. understanding its habitat requirement is the first step toward preservation of this threatened forest-dependent species. in this study, we gathered data on the use of space and home range characteristics of l. mittermeieri. we studied individuals from early march to the end of june 2015 and 2016, in three si ... | 2019 | 31243788 |
