Conservation Status and Abundance of the Crowned Sifaka (Propithecus coronatus)
Salmona, Jordi; Rasolondraibe, Emmanuel; Jan, Fabien; Besolo, Aubin; Rakotoarisoa, Heriniaina; Meyler, Sam Viana; Wohlhauser, SébastienThe crowned sifaka (Propithecus coronatus) is Endangered. It has a large but highly fragmented distribution; its known range extends from the Betsiboka River in the north of Madagascar, to the Mahavavy River in the north-west, and down to the Tsiribihina River in the south-west. The species lives in forest habitats that are highly and increasingly fragmented and are continuously suffering perturbations and dest...
New density estimates of a threatened sifaka species (Propithecus coquereli) in...
Kun-Rodrigues, Célia; Salmona, Jordi; Besolo, Aubin; Rasolondraibe, Emmanuel; Rabarivola, Clément; Marques, Tiago A.; Chikhi, LounèsPropithecus coquereli is one of the last sifaka species for which no reliable and extensive density estimates are yet available. Despite its endangered conservation status [IUCN, 2012] and recognition as a flagship species of the northwestern dry forests of Madagascar, its population in its last main refugium, the Ankarafantsika National Park (ANP), is still poorly known. Using line transect distance sampling s...
Noninvasive molecular sexing: An evaluation and validation of the SRY- and amel...
Vanpé, Cécile; Salmona, Jordi; Pais, Isa; Kun-Rodrigues, Célia; Pichon, Claire; Meyler, Samuel Viana; Rabarivola, Clément; Lewis, Rebecca J.Many lemur species are arboreal, elusive, and/or nocturnal and are consequently difficult to approach, observe and catch. In addition, most of them are endangered. For these reasons, non-invasive sampling is especially useful in primates including lemurs. A key issue in conservation and ecological studies is to identify the sex of the sampled individuals to investigate sex-biased dispersal, parentage, social or...
A DNA Metabarcoding Study of a Primate Dietary Diversity and Plasticity across ...
Quéméré, Erwan; Hibert, Fabrice; Miquel, Christian; Lhuillier, Emeline; Rasolondraibe, Emmanuel; Champeau, Julie; Rabarivola, Clément; Nusbaumer, LouisIn tropical regions, most primary ecosystems have been replaced by mosaic landscapes in which species must cope with a large shift in the distribution of their habitat and associated food resources. Primates are particularly vulnerable to habitat modifications. Most species persist in small fragments surrounded by complex human-mediated matrices whose structure and connectivity may strongly influence their disp...
