Influence of forest fragmentation on an endangered large-bodied lemur in northwestern Madagascar

2009-12-01

Abstract excerpt

Madagascar's diverse and mostly endemic fauna and flora suffer from recent landscape changes that are primarily caused by high levels of human activities. The loss and fragmentation of forest habitats are well known consequences of human activities. In this study, we investigate the effects of forest fragmentation on presence, abundance and genetic diversity in a larger-bodied lemur species, Lepilemur edwardsi, in...
