Reconciliation and post-conflict behaviour in ringtailed lemurs, Lemur catta and redfronted lemurs, Eulemur fulvus rufus
Article Abstract:
Redfronted lemurs resolve their fights and reconcile with their opponents whereas ringtailed lemurs do not. This is contrary to the belief that species with clear cut dominant submissive interrelationships have a tendency to reconcile. Ringtailed lemurs are united within the group but their lack of conciliatory behavior in contrast with redfronted lemurs predicts how each species reacts in post conflict periods.

Central males instead of multiple pairs in redfronted lemurs, Eulemur fulvus rufus (Primates,Lemuridae)?
Article Abstract:
Some demographic and morphological traits of Malagasy primates (Lemuriformes) deviate from theoretical expectations. They live in small multimale-multifemale groups. In a study of wild redfronted lemurs no differences in group cohesion between day and night were observed, with just one male in each group monopolizing social interactions with all females.

Male life history and the unusual adult sex ratios of redfronted lemur, Eulemur fulvus rufus, groups
Article Abstract:
The male life history and the unusual adult sex ratio of redfronted lemur, Eulemur fulvus rufus, groups, Malagasy primates is studied, using demographic and behavioral data from several groups collected over six years. The benefits enjoyed by both sexes from a higher number of coresident males considerably defuse the conflict between the sexes.
