recommendations! Published in 2019 at "American Journal of Primatology"

DOI: 10.1002/ajp.22972

Abstract: We used species‐area relationships (SARs) to investigate the effects of habitat loss on lemur biogeography. We measured species richness via visual surveys on line transects within 42 fragments of dry deciduous forest at the Ambanjabe… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ajp.23362

Abstract: Madagascar's lemurs are threatened by forest loss, fragmentation, and degradation. Many species use flexible behaviors to survive in degraded habitat, but their ability to persist in very small areas may be limited. Insular lemurs, like… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ajp.23497

Abstract: The COVID‐19 pandemic caused by the SARS‐CoV‐2 virus brought many primatology research programs and conservation efforts to a halt. After Madagascar closed its borders during March 2020, many on‐site international project leaders and researchers returned… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ajp.23609

Abstract: The degree of dietary flexibility in primates is species specific; some incorporate a wider array of resources than others. Extreme interannual weather variability in Madagascar results in seasonal resource scarcity which has been linked to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3687

Abstract: Madagascar is a threatened global biodiversity hotspot and conservation priority, yet we lack broadscale surveys to assess biodiversity across space and time. To fill this gap, we collated camera trap surveys, capturing species occurrences within… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10531-021-02156-0

Abstract: A floristic survey of the marine algal biodiversity of Antsiranana Bay, northern Madagascar, was conducted during November 2018. This represents the first inventory encompassing the three major macroalgal classes (Phaeophyceae, Florideophyceae and Ulvophyceae) for the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10745-023-00450-9

Abstract: In drylands, where resources are scarce, wild edible plant (WEP) knowledge is crucial to overcome food scarcity. Understanding the distribution pattern of local ecological knowledge (LEK) about WEP and identifying knowledge holders are key steps… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10764-021-00216-4

Abstract: Wild aye-ayes ( Daubentonia madagascariensis ) are notoriously difficult to study due to their solitary and nocturnal nature. While research is starting to elucidate the behaviors of wild adult aye-aye, an understanding of behaviors in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10914-017-9391-z

Abstract: The extent to which Madagascar’s Holocene extinct lemurs fell victim to nonhuman predators is poorly understood. Madagascar’s Holocene predator guild included several now-extinct species, i.e., crocodiles, carnivorans, and raptors. Here we focus on mammalian carnivory,… read more here.
