Science Snippets: The impact of roads and powerlines on South Africa’s primates - Endangered Wildlife Trust South Africa has an extensive linear infrastructure network of roads, railways and powerlines, which is essential for human connectivity. However, it is not great news for primates. Approximately 18% ...

Assessing Ecological Divergence and Speciation Scenarios of the Paragalago zanzibaricus Species Complex Through Climatic Niche Modeling - International Journal of Primatology Cryptic species complexes consist of geographically confluent, closely related species that were once classified as a single species. The diversification mechanisms of cryptic species complexes often ...

Environmental Effects on Nocturnal Encounters of Two Sympatric Bushbabies, Galago moholi and Otolemur crassicaudatus, in a High-Altitude South African Northern Mistbelt Montane Habitat - International... Temperate living primates cope with a variety of environmental stressors, which may vary by body mass. We studied two sympatric galagos, the thick-tailed greater galago, Otolemur crassicaudatus (1.5 k...

Overcoming Challenges to Extracting and Sequencing Historical DNA to Support Primate Evolutionary Research and Conservation, with an Application to Galagos - International Journal of Primatology The availability of genetic data from wild populations limits our understanding of primate evolution and conservation, particularly for small nocturnal species such as lorisiforms (galagos, lorises, a...

Size, Scaling, and Sexual Size Dimorphism in Wild South African Thick-Tailed Greater Galagos (Otolemur crassicaudatus) - International Journal of Primatology The developmental bases of sexual size dimorphism vary across primates, with important implications for understanding the evolution of dimorphism. Here, we explore adult sexual size dimorphism and its...

Activity Budget and Sociality of the Northern Lesser Galago, Galago senegalensis - International Journal of Primatology Complex sociality in primates often is argued to have evolved after the appearance of diurnal activity. Studying the behaviour of nocturnal primates is fundamental to understanding the evolutionary or...

Distribution, Population Density, and Behavior of Dwarf Galagos (Paragalago sp.) in Taita Hills, Kenya - International Journal of Primatology A good understanding of taxonomy, distribution, and population density is needed for conservation. Scientific knowledge of dwarf galagos (Paragalago sp.) remains limited. Two populations of Taita dwar...

Seasonal Effects on the Fecal Microbial Composition of Wild Greater Thick-Tailed Galagos (Otolemur crassicaudatus) - International Journal of Primatology Bacterial communities present in the host digestive tract are important for the breakdown and absorption of nutrients required by the host. Changes in diet and the environment are major factors affect...

Looking Ahead: Predicting the Possible Ecological and Physiological Response of Galago Moholi to Environmental Change - International Journal of Primatology Large scale changes to the natural environment, due to both climate change and direct human activities (e.g., urbanization), pose a great risk to biodiversity. As this realization has set in, the numb...
