Abstract:
I examine the niche partitioning between native ring-tailed lemurs, Lemur catta, and an introduced hybrid brown lemur population of Eulemur rufus x E. collaris in Malaza gallery forest of Berenty reserve, in comparison with the natural sympatric population of ring-tailed lemurs and red collared brown lemurs, Eulemur collaris, in Ambatotsirongorongo forest and with allopatric ring-tailed lemurs at Bealoka forest, in order to determine the impact of the introduced brown lemur population at Berenty reserve on the behaviour and distribution of native ring-tailed lemurs. Behavioural observations were conducted from September 2008 to December 2009; lemur population survey was conducted from 2005 to 2009. Behavioural sampling methods include scan group sampling, focal animal sampling and ad libitum of social behaviour and feeding behaviour. Two groups of each lemur species were followed in Malaza Berenty forest, one group of ring-tailed lemurs in Bealoka forest and one group of each lemur species was followed in Ambatotsirongorongo forest. Vegetation study was conducted in Bealoka and Berenty forests, whereas preliminary data on vegetation structure was already available for Ambatotsirongorongo. At Berenty reserve, the dynamic of the native ring-tailed lemur population was conditioned by food availability and habitat quality. The brown lemur growth and distribution appear to be affected by the water availability. Individual energy demands for various activity rhythms play a big role in brown lemurs' ecology. Food availability, hierarchy and territory are the main niche dimensions that shape ring-tailed lemurs' ecology. Niche partitioning between native population of ring-tailed and collared brown lemurs at Ambatotsirongorongo forest relies mainly on habitat use. Feeding ecology of ringtailed lemurs in Bealoka forest is dominated by fruits. Habitat utilization differs markedly from both Berenty and Ambatotsirongorongo forest. Changes in ring-tailed lemurs' behaviour and distribution at Berenty reserve are partly due to the competition with the introduced brown lemurs. This situation has resulted in a niche partitioning between both species by creating a bimodal niche for ring-tailed lemurs: the marginal habitat and the closed canopy forest. The comparisons with ecological mechanisms and evolution of Bealoka and Ambatotsirongorongo forests show that Berenty has shifted from a situation more like Bealoka's to a situation more like natural sympatry.

Abstract:
By studying how captive animals use outdoor space, we can determine which areas fulfill their biological and behavioral needs to improve enclosure design for animal welfare and visitor experience. The aim of the study was to determine the differential use of outdoor space in a mixed exhibit of captive ring-tailed lemurs (Lemur catta) and red ruffed lemurs (Varecia rubra), and to assess both the effect of adding environmental enrichment and possible visitor and meteorological effects on the lemurs’ use of space and behavior. For one month, five-minute interval scan sampling was used to record lemur location and behavior, as well as the meteorological conditions and presence of zoo visitors in the lemurs’ outdoor enclosure. That baseline was followed by four alternating two-week periods of food or structural enrichment, both with and without visitors. Enrichment increased the lemurs’ use of the enriched sectors, decreased resting, and increased locomotion. Structural enrichment increased their exploratory behaviors and stimulated arboreal locomotion. Both species preferred sunny and warm conditions for sunbathing and resting, while moving more around the enclosure in cooler and cloudier weather. The visitor effect on the lemurs’ use of space was weaker than the effects of enrichment and meteorological conditions. The availability of areas to hide and possible habituation to humans may have played a role in the reduced visitor effect. The results of the study showed inter-specific differences in the lemurs’ use of space and behavior and a complex combined effect of enrichment, visitor presence and meteorological conditions.

Abstract:
Le comportement alimentaire des primates varie en fonction de la disponibilité des ressources donc des saisons, et du choix de l'animal, facteur lié à des paramètres individuels. Les aliments consommés sont choisis en fonction de leur chimie (présence de nutriments, de composés toxiques...), et c'est le système gustatif qui permet de faire le lien entre un primate et les aliments qu'il consomme. Les tannins, toxiques à forte dose, sont les composés secondaires des plantes les plus répandus. Le Lemur catta, primate emblématique de Madagascar y est confronté dans son milieu naturel.
L'étude de lémurs catta captifs, confrontés à des plantes de climat tempéré riches en tannins (chênes, saules, ronces) montre qu'ils consomment spontanément des tannins dont le goût est perçu comme répulsif (dès 0,1 g/L pour l'acide tannique, seuil déterminé par le « two-bottle test »). Les quantités de tannins consommés et la concentration en tannins du régime varient en fonction des saisons alors que la perception du goût de l'acide tannique ne varie pas. Par contre, les différences individuelles de consommation de tannins sont expliquées par les différences de perception gustative : les animaux les plus sensibles aux tannins en sont les plus gros consommateurs.
La consommation de terre observée quasi-quotidiennement (principalement le matin, souvent à jeun) est corrélée avec celle de plantes à tannins, la géophagie serait alors un moyen de protection utilisé par les lémurs catta, les argiles ayant la capacité d'adsorber les tannins. Les tannins condensés consommés pourraient jouer un rôle dans la diminution avec le temps du parasitisme des individus. La semi-liberté associée à un accès à des plantes variées apporte de nombreux avantages aux lémuriens captifs car elle leur permet de diversifier leur alimentation et d'avoir accès à certaines activités pratiquées par les lémuriens sauvages.

Abstract:

Captive animals demonstrate a number of differences compared to their wild counterparts, with the suite of some of the most common, and arguably deleterious, referred to collectively as domestication syndrome. Scholars have proposed a number of different variables and mechanisms for the changes, with captive diet being one of the prominent explanations. This thesis explores the effects of captivity on the skulls and mandibles of Malagasy lemurs (predominantly ring-tailed lemurs Lemur catta) using relative linear measurements and selected ratios, gathered from natural history museum collections. I predicted that captive and wild individuals would show differences in cranial measurements related to mastication, which would be driven by their different diets and the exploitation of the kily fruit Tamarindus indica (H1 A). I also predicted that wild individuals would show more overall variation due to consumption of broader, less consistent diets (H1B). Finally, I predicted that a multivariate model would be able to properly predict captivity status in Lemur catta using linear variables. Captive Lemur catta showed significantly (p = 0.0126) shorter relative post-palatal lengths than their wild counterparts, supporting H1A, and significantly (p = 0.0374) smaller variance in the inio-orbital (post-facial) region, supporting H1B. However, captive individuals showed significantly (p = 0.0390) greater variance in anterior flexion of the angular process, which refuted H1B. A step-wise discriminant function model was able to properly predict captivity status in a sample of n = 18 Lemur catta using four linear variables (R2 = 0.9336). Descriptive statistics across sex and other lemur species revealed differences that should be noted by scholars, specifically significantly (p = 0.0250) longer alveo-orbital AO (pre-facial) regions in male Lemur catta. The findings of this thesis, including its critique of physical and intellectual conservation of data, should be taken into account by museum professionals, animal husbandry personnel, and morphologists alike, and all measurements and findings shall be published on open access servers.

Abstract:
Thesis advisor: David Krauss
Behavior in a confined group of mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx) and a confined group of ring tailed lemurs (Lemur catta) were analyzed to reveal any significant differences in agonistic behaviors and to assess the varying stress levels between individuals. I predicted that the activity rate of the individuals would determine the amount of agonistic behavior demonstrated, specifically that more active individuals would be more frequently performing agonistic behaviors than those who were less active. The mandrills as a whole exhibited a higher activity rate than the lemurs, and the proportion of time spent exhibiting agonistic behaviors was also higher, as expected. These results suggest that the mandrill population is under more stress than the lemurs. Differences in the age makeup of these groups may partially explain the behavioral differences that occurred: the mandrills' group included a juvenile who was considerably more active than his parents while all three lemurs observed were adults. Differences in the size of the exhibit may also explain the differences as the exhibit for the mandrills was smaller than that of the lemurs, while the mandrills were more than triple the lemurs' size. This analysis supports earlier studies: that primate behavior is influenced strongly by their environment and its cohabitants

Abstract:
One of the largest protected populations of the Ringtail lemur (Lemur catta) lives in Berenty Reserve, a 400ha riverine forest in semi-arid southeastern Madagascar. Nine Brown lemurs (Eulemur fulvus) were introduced into Berenty in 1974. When these two species exist in natural sympatry, they overlap little in diet or habitat use. Brown lemurs specialize on closed-canopy forest but Ringtails are semi-terrestrial and use both forest and adjacent scrub habitat. In contrast, preliminary data at Berenty indicated broad interspecific overlap. I tested the hypothesis that the increasing Brown lemur population is having a negative demographic impact on Ringtails at Berenty. I also sought to understand what factors affect Ringtail and Brown lemur population density there. I studied the resource use, population dynamics, and response to drought, of Ringtails and Brown lemurs at Berenty. I compared the diet and habitat use of seven troop-pairs each with one Ringtail and one Brown lemur troop living in overlapping home ranges, and thus sharing access to the same resources. I found that paired Ringtail and Brown lemur troops living in the same habitat type overlapped more in diet than did adjacent troops of the same species. Census data showed that between 1974 and 2000, the numbers of both species increased, and the combined density of the two populations quadrupled. Ringtail numbers have been stable since 1995, while Brown lemur numbers continue to grow. However, juvenile recruitment in Ringtails declined with increasing Brown lemur density in scrub habitat. Juvenile recruitment in Ringtails, but not in Brown lemurs, also declined following droughts. This is likely the result of reduced productivity in the keystone food tree species Tamarindus indica after droughts. Despite the high overlap in diet of Brown lemurs and Ringtails at Berenty, I found no evidence that the socially dominant Brown lemur is lowering the demographic performance of the Ringtail. I suggest that water provisioning at Berenty explains this apparent paradox.
