The behaviour and ecology of the sportive lemur ( Lepilemur mustelinus) in relation to its dietary peculiarities

Résumé

In the course of a field-visit to the south of Madagascar (September/ October 1970), Lepilemur mustelinus leucopus (F. Major 1894) was in tensively observed in order to define the ecological characteristics of this nocturnal folivorous species (Fig. 1a ), which is adapted to particularly arid conditions in this region. Study of one population provided us with an understanding of the social structure, permitting comparison with other pro simian species. Subsequently, a laboratory investigation was conducted on various samples from a digestive tract collected in Madagascar. This permitted more detailed examination of the phenomenon of caecotrophy , which had previously been observed in the field.
