Lemurine Social and Territorial Organization in a North-Western Malagasy Forest (Restricted Area of Ampijoroa)

Habitat Utilization of Blue-Eyed Black Lemurs,Eulemur Macaco Flavifrons(Gray, 1867), in Primary and Altered Forest Fragments

“…Energy saving might also explain the relatively small home ranges of sportive lemurs-about 1 ha for L. edwardsi (see Albignac 1981;Warren and Crompton 1997) and L. ruficaudatus (Zinner et al 2003), and 0.18 ha for female and 0.33 ha for male L. leucopus (see Dröscher and Kappeler 2013). The much smaller grey mouse lemur (Microcebus murinus), with its broad diet, has similar home ranges of 0.7-1.6 ha for females and 2.8-4.8 ha for males in dry deciduous forest (Eberle and Kappeler 2004;Lahann 2008;Radespiel 2000).…”

Home Range Size and Social Organization of the Sahamalaza Sportive Lemur,Lepilemur sahamalazensis

“…While they form territorial pairs, the pair met only rarely except during the short mating seasons, and Hilgartner (2006) classified them as living in dispersed pairs. Milne-Edwards' sportive lemurs have similar home range sizes (Albignac 1981), but 3-4 individuals can often be seen feeding, without aggression, in the same tree, moving together for several hours, and grooming each other (Warren 1994). The mean home range size of females was recorded as 1.1 ha (Minimum Convex Polygons, MCP; Albignac 1981), with considerable home range overlap.…”

Lemurs of Madagascar: an action plan for their conservation 1993-1999

“…Preliminary studies of primate populations have been undertaken at Ankarafantsika (Tattersall and Sussman, 1975;Harrington, 1978;Albignac, 1981;Martin, 1982;Andriatsarafara, 1988). Of the seven lemur species present, three are considered conservation priorities, Eulemur mongoz, Propithecus verreauxi coquereli and Avahi laniger occidentalis.…”
