Lemurs: ecology and adaptation / Gould, L.(Ed.) ; Sauther, M.L.(Ed.) (2006)
Titre : Lemurs: ecology and adaptation Type de document : livre Auteurs : Gould, L.(Ed.) ; Sauther, M.L.(Ed.) Editeur : New York : Springer Année de publication : 2006 Collection : Developments in primatology: progress and prospects Importance : 450 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-387-34585-7 Note générale : Inventaire 2008: Pointé et emprunté le 11/01/2008 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Lemurs Primates Résumé : Lemurs: Ecology and Adaptation brings together information from recent research, and provides new insight into the study of lemur origins, and the ecology and adaptation of both extant and recently extinct lemurs. In addition, it addresses issues of primate behavioral ecology and how environment can play a major role in explaining species variation. Moreover, in a larger context, the information contained in this volume expands our knowledge of primate ecology and allows us further insight into mammalian adaptations to unusual and often harsh environmental conditions that arise from both natural and anthropogenic factors. The book is divided into two sections. The first section is a background to lemurs and their ecology and it includes chapters on origins of lemurs, history of ecological studies on lemurs in Madagascar, theories relating to the evolution of lemur traits, and ecology of the recently extinct (sub-fossil) lemurs. Section two is comprised of chapters focusing on the ecology and adaptations of many species of extant lemurs to the diverse habitats found on Madagascar, and in some cases, adaptations to extreme climatic variability and natural disasters.

Titre : The historical biogeography of the strepsirhini: understanding the colonization of Madagascar Type de document : livre Auteurs : Masters, J.C.(Ed.) Editeur : Basel : Karger Année de publication : 2006 Collection : Folia primatologica Importance : 93 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-3-8055-8207-0 Note générale : Inventaire 2008: Pointé en rayon le 10/04/2008 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Biogeography Lemurs Loridae Madagascar Primates Strepsirhini Résumé : The origins of Madagascar's unique flora and fauna have occupied scientists since the acceptance of evolution. This publication explores the question of how lemurs came to reach their current geographic distribution. Contributors from a range of disciplines sought to answer the following questions: What is our best estimate of the timing and sequence of continental movements in and around the Indian Ocean? Is there evidence of connections that could have served as migration routes between land masses, and when might they have been present? What does the nonprimate vertebrate fauna on Madagascar indicate about the timing and direction of potential dispersal routes? What does the fossil record imply about the biology of early lemuriforms and their relatives? What does molecular phylogenetics indicate about relationships among living lemuriforms, and what does this imply about the lemuriform and lemuroid ancestors? What can biogeographic methods contribute to our understanding of lemuriform origins? Is there any evidence that the capacity for heterothermy has assisted overwater dispersal in mammals? The multidisciplinary nature of the contributions to this volume make it uniquely valuable to primatologists (and primate evolutionists in particular), evolutionary biologists and biogeographers.
