Institute of Zoology, Tierarztliche Hochschule Hannover, Hannover, Germany
Am J Primatol 54:181-92. 2001..This is the first evidence suggesting unconditional female dominance in a cheirogaleid primate. The existence of female dominance in most families of the Lemuriformes suggests it is an ancient trait that evolved in their common ancestor... - Exceptional diversity of mouse lemurs (Microcebus spp.) in the Makira region with the description of one new speciesUte Radespiel
Institute of Zoology, University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover, Hannover, Germany
Am J Primatol 70:1033-46. 2008..This study and other lemur inventories suggest that the Makira region is particularly rich in lemur species and the lack of any protected zone in this area should now attract the urgent attention of conservation stakeholders... - Natural and anthropogenic determinants of genetic structure in the largest remaining population of the endangered golden-brown mouse lemur, Microcebus ravelobensisUte Radespiel
Institute of Zoology, University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover, Hannover, Germany
Am J Primatol 70:860-70. 2008..The results are discussed in terms of their conservation relevance for forest-dwelling animals such as most primate species... - Sex-specific usage patterns of sleeping sites in grey mouse lemurs (Microcebus murinus) in northwestern MadagascarU Radespiel
Institute of Zoology, Tieraerztliche Hochschule Hannover, Germany
Am J Primatol 46:77-84. 1998..The underlying study indicates that sleeping sites may be a restricted and defendable resource for grey mouse lemurs. The investigation gives new insights into the distribution patterns and social organization of this species... - Sociality in the gray mouse lemur (Microcebus murinus) in northwestern MadagascarU Radespiel
Institute of Zoology, Tierarztliche Hochschule Hannover, Germany
Am J Primatol 51:21-40. 2000..It is suggested that this network of social relationships should be described as a dispersed but individualized neighborhood... - The ever-increasing diversity in mouse lemurs: three new species in north and northwestern MadagascarGillian Olivieri

Institute of Zoology, University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover, Hannover, Germany
Am J Primatol 72:48-55. 2010..For the first time, we could confirm that golden-brown mouse lemurs build leaf nests themselves. Nest building lasted between 46 and 68 min, which shows that this task is time consuming and therefore probably costly... - Isolation of sixteen autosomal loci and a sex-linked polymorphic microsatellite locus from the Milne-Edwards' sportive lemur (Lepilemur edwardsi)M Craul

These 17 loci were characterized to investigate family structure and the phylogeography of L. edwardsi... - Seasonal changes in general activity, body mass and reproduction of two small nocturnal primates: a comparison of the golden brown mouse lemur ( Microcebus ravelobensis) in Northwestern Madagascar and the brown mouse lemur ( Microcebus rufus) in Eastern MBlanchard Randrianambinina
, , , 30559 Hannover, Germany
Primates 44:321-31. 2003..Thus, environmentally related differences in annual rhythms between closely related small nocturnal lemurs emerged that allow them to cope with contrasting patterns of seasonal changes in their habitats... - First experimental evidence for female mate choice in a nocturnal primateMathias Craul

Proc Biol Sci 273:2527-33. 2006..This could be a result of information transfer about sleeping sites and thermoregulatory benefits.
