Huddling is more important than rest site selection for thermoregulation in southern bamboo lemurs
Resting site selection can have important effects on the behavior and fitness of organisms. We sought to determine whether a medium-sized lemur model, the southern bamboo lemur (Hapalemur meridionalis), would
Evidence of spatiotemporal planning in a panther chameleon (Furcifer pardalis) on the Masoala Peninsula, Madagascar
There is a generally a lack of information on the natural history and reproduction of the panther chameleon (Furcifer pardalis) in the wild, and few written accounts of egg deposition.
Factors influencing terrestriality in primates of the Americas and Madagascar

A habitat stronghold on the precipice: A call‐to‐action for supporting lemur conservation in northeast Madagascar
The northeast of Madagascar is as diverse as it is threatened. The area bordering the Analanjirofo and SAVA regions contains six protected areas and at least 22 lemur species. In
Do functional traits offset the effects of fragmentation? The case of large‐bodied diurnal lemur species
Primates worldwide are faced with increasing threats, particularly anthropogenic disturbances, making them more vulnerable to extinction. As this situation continues to worsen, we sought to understand how fragmentation affects primate
Urgent action needed: the forgotten forests of the Lavasoa-Ambatotsirongorongo Mountains, southeast Madagascar
