A Natural History of the Brown Mouse Lemur by Sylvia Atsalis Pdf
This text can be used for any undergraduate or graduate course with a primate behavior or primate ecology component. It can also be used as supplemental reading, for any advanced animal behavior class. There are very few books that address the biology of nocturnal primates. There are even fewer that delve with any detail regarding the behavior of specific species. These animals are difficult to follow. Their diminutive size, the thickness of the vegetation, and their nocturnal habits, make the study of their habits a demanding task.Through a trial of patience, Sylvia Atsalis has undertaken this task. Here she provides an in depth view at the life and behavioral patterns of these tiny primates. A Natural History of the Brown Mouse Lemur provides the most complete look at the behavior and ecology of mouse lemurs.
Reproductive Biology of Mouse and Dwarf Lemurs of Eastern Madagascar, with an Emphasis on Brown Mouse Lemurs (Microcebus Rufus) at Ranomafana National Park, a Southeastern Rainforest by Marina B. Blanco Pdf
Meet the lemur! Learn about how this primate lives on Madagascar. Elementary-aged readers will discover lemurs of all sizes, from the tiny mouse lemur to the much bigger Indri. Full color images and clear explanations highlight the habitat, diet, and lifestyle of these fascinating creatures. A folktale from Madagascar explains where lemurs came from.
Deep in the jungles of Madagascar, the lemurs have lived in isolation, relatively free of predators for millions of years. Today their existence is being threatened by new factors of modern civilization. This is their story.
This inspiring memoir of one woman's experience in the field is an exotic adventure story, a surprise journey of self-discovery, and a deeply personal appreciation of a place that's unlike any other.At age twenty-five, graduate student Keriann McGoogan traveled into the wilds of Madagascar to study lemurs in their natural habitat and to set up a permanent field site in the remote northwest--a site to which she could later return to do research for her PhD in biological anthropology. Despite careful planning, the trip spiraled out of control. Food poisoning, harrowing backcountry roads, grueling hikes, challenging local politics, malaria, and an emergency evacuation would turn a simple reconnaissance into an epic adventure. In an engaging narrative, the author vividly describes the challenges of life in an isolated forest region while also bringing to life the wonders of Madagascar's incredible biodiversity, especially its many varieties of lemurs. Sadly, these rare animals are the most endangered group of primates in the world. At first accompanied by her thesis advisor, McGoogan is soon left alone when her mentor must return home. She carries on as the lone woman amid a small band of local male assistants, diligently conducting research on the lemur population around the camp. But when her right-hand man becomes delirious with malaria, she is forced to lead her team on a desperate three-day trek to safety.This fascinating memoir is equal parts a journey of self-discovery, an adventure story, and a heartfelt appreciation of a wonderful island country teaming with unique species and peopled by the warm and welcoming Malagasies with their intriguing indigenous culture.
A description of the physical characteristics, various types, behavior, habitat, and life cycle of lemurs, monkey-like mammals who primarily live in rain forests.
