Developing new cost-effective methods for monitoring the distribution and abundance of
species is essential for conservation biology. Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) has long …

The endemic lemurs of Madagascar (Lemuriformes: Primates) exhibit great social and
communicative diversity. Given their independent evolutionary history, lemurs provide an …

Recent reports suggest that dietary ethanol, or alcohol, is a supplemental source of calories
for some primates. For example, slow lorises (Nycticebus coucang) consume fermented …

The aye-aye (Daubentonia madagascariensis) is a nocturnal lemur native to the island of
Madagascar with a unique thin middle finger. Its slender third digit has a remarkably specific …

The aye-ayes (Daubentonia madagascariensis) are an extremely rare lemur species and
the world's largest nocturnal primate. Tapping on tree bark with its unique elongated middle …

In order to examine auditory thresholds and hearing sensitivity during aging in the gray
mouse lemur (Microcebus murinus), suggested to represent a model for early primate …

To characterize the patterns of ABR waves in tree shrews, we must understand the hearing
sensitivity and auditory function of healthy adult tree shrews. Fifteen tree shrews (30 ears) …

This chapter explores the importance of vocalizations in basal primates for modeling the
evolutionary origins of primate social communication. A rich diversity in acoustic structures …

The ectoparasitic mite Varroa destructor is considered one of the greatest threats to the
honeybee Apis mellifera. To successfully manage mite populations residing in the colony …

The aye-aye (Daubentonia madagascariensis) is best known for its unique acoustic-based
foraging behavior called'tap-scanning'or'percussive foraging'. The tap-scanning is a unique …
