Strepsirhine divergence dates estimated from mitochondrial gene sequences, and the status of Daubentonia madagascariensis.- 4. Organismal biology, molecular systematics, and phylogenetic reconstruction.- 5. Is temporal plasticity in lemurs a strategy for dealing with unpredictable or predictable, seasonal environments?.- Part II. General ecology.- 6. Anthropoid analogues? Life history variation in Madagascar's giant extinct lemurs.- 7. Population genetics, parasitism and long-term population dynamics of Microcebus murinus in littoral forest fragments of south-eastern Madagascar.- 8.

Forest fragmentation imperils red slender lorises (Loris tardigradus tardigradus) in south-western Sri Lanka.- 11. Head posture and visual orientation in Loris tardigradus during locomotion on oblique supports.- 12. Predation on two lemur species in Sahamalaza Peninsula, north-western Madagascar.- Part III. Behavioral ecology.- 13. Preliminary results on the behavioral ecology of the hairy-eared dwarf lemur (Allocebus trichotis) in Andasibe, eastern Madagascar.- 14. Venus in fur: female power in mouse lemurs Microcebus murinus and M. griseorufus.- 15. Group size, composition and stability in a wild population of blue-eyed black lemurs (Eulemur flavifrons) at Ankarafa, Sahamalaza National Park.- 16. Eviction and troop reconstruction in a single matriline of ring-tailed lemurs (Lemur catta): what happened when "Grandmother" died?.- Part IV. Dietary ecology.- 17. Coprolites associated with Archaeolemur remains in north-western Madagascar suggest dietary diversity and cave use in a subfossil prosimian.- 18. The dental ecology of ring-tailed lemurs.- 19. Exudates and animal prey characterize slow loris (Nycticebus pygmaeus, N. coucang, N. javanicus) diet in captivity and after release into the wild.- 20.

Ecological factors in the size of olfactory structure in perinatal strepsirrhines.- 28. The sensory ecology of foraging for animal prey.- 29. Evolution of auditory sensitivity among strepsirhine primates.- 30. Vocalizations of red slender lorises (Loris tardigradus tardigradus) in Masmullah Proposed Forest Reserve, Sri Lanka.- 31. Variation in prosimian infant isolation calls and its evolutionary implications.- 32. Primate serenades: call variation, species diversity and adaptation in nocturnal strepsirhines.- 33. Noises in the dark: vocal communication in nocturnal pair-living primates.- 34. The use of Artificial Neural Networks in studying lemur vocal communication.- 35. A quantitative description of the vocal types emitted in the indri's song.- 36. What can virtual vocal tracts tell us about lemur communication?.- 37. Cognitive capacities of captive gray mouse lemurs as evidenced by object manipulation.- Part VII. Conservation of prosimian.- 38.
