A healthy social life? Sociality and health indicators in wild red-fronted lemurs
(2022-06-29)In the last 40 years, an increasing number of studies from medicine, neurosciences, and psychology demonstrated links between many aspects of sociality, health, and fitness in humans and laboratory animals. Some studies ... -
Social relationships: key to gut microbiome composition in wild redfronted lemurs?
(2022-03-03)The gut microbiome consists of the prokaryotic and eukaryotic communities inhabiting the gastrointestinal tract of an animal and plays a pivotal role in the health of the host. This microbial community is highly dynamic ... -
Environmental and maternal effects on infant development in wild Verreaux´s sifakas (Propithecus verreauxi)
(2021-12-23)Organisms’ life cycles vary tremendously between and within species leading to differences in life histories. Early development plays an important role in the life trajectory of an individual and shapes its entire life. ... -
Cognitive adaptations in two sympatric mouse lemur species occupying different ecological niches
(2021-11-16)Cognition describes an individual’s abilities to perceive, process, and act on information of the abiotic and biotic environment. The investigation of cognitive variation between individuals and species has been of interest ... -
Measuring communicative complexity across modalities: a new framework in the context of the “social complexity hypothesis” and its application in true lemurs

(2019-12-13)For animals to enjoy the benefits of group living it is vital that they coordinate their activities despite divergent needs. The challenge this poses becomes apparent when animals are moving between resources. In this ... -
The role of acoustic and visual signals in species recognition in true lemurs (Eulemur: Primates)
(2017-01-18)Signals represent important tools for animal social behavior. Numerous animal species use signals for communication as they serve as information transmitted from one individual to another. Signals also play essential roles ...
