First evidence for relocation of stationary food resources during foraging in a strepsirhine primate (Microcebus murinus)
Article Abstract:
The foraging behavior of mouse lemurs is studied radiotelemetrically in order to explore to which extent they use the food resources and whether there is evidence for their relocation. The studies have provided first evidence for the relocation of stationary food resources in nature and also for the significance of spatial memory during foraging in a strepsirhine primate.

Species-specific usage of sleeping sites in two sympatric mouse lemur species (Microcebus murinus and M. ravelobensis) in Northwestern Madagascar
Article Abstract:
The sleeping site ecology of two sympatric mouse lemur species in northwestern Madagascar, during the latter half of the dry season is explored. This study is conducted in terms of the type, quality, and usage pattern of the sleeping sites as well as the social sleeping habits and response to likely danger.
