Divergent Systems of Agonistic Behaviour in Lemurid Primates
- M. E. Pereira, P. Kappeler
- Psychology
- 1997
Two semifree-ranging groups of ringtailed lemurs (Lemur catta) and two co-ranging groups of redfronted lemurs (Eulemur fulvus rufus) were studied across a two-year period to characterise and contrast… Expand
Development and application of a phylogenomic toolkit: resolving the evolutionary history of Madagascar's lemurs.
- J. Horvath, D. Weisrock, +6 authors A. D. Yoder
- Biology, Medicine
- Genome research
- 1 March 2008
Lemurs and the other strepsirrhine primates are of great interest to the primate genomics community due to their phylogenetic placement as the sister lineage to all other primates. Previous attempts… Expand
On the move around the clock: correlates and determinants of cathemeral activity in wild redfronted lemurs (Eulemur fulvus rufus)
- P. Kappeler, H. Erkert
- Biology
- Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology
- 4 July 2003
Whether animals are active at night or during the day has profound consequences for many aspects of their behavioral ecology. Because of ecological and physiological trade-offs, most animals,… Expand
The evolution of sexual size dimorphism in prosimian primates
- P. Kappeler
- Biology, Medicine
- American journal of primatology
- 1990
The four major hypotheses advanced to explain the evolution of sexually dimorphic characters invoke sexual selection, natural selection, allometry, and phylogenetic inertia. In this paper, each of… Expand
Patterns of sexual dimorphism in body weight among prosimian primates.
- P. Kappeler
- Biology, Medicine
- Folia primatologica; international journal of…
- 1991
Many primatologists believe that there is no sexual dimorphism in body size in prosimian primates. Because this belief is based upon data that came from only a few species and were largely flawed in… Expand
Androgen and glucocorticoid levels reflect seasonally occurring social challenges in male redfronted lemurs (Eulemur fulvus rufus)
- J. Ostner, P. Kappeler, M. Heistermann
- Biology, Medicine
- Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology
- 19 September 2007
Intense reproductive competition and social instability are assumed to increase concentrations of glucocorticoids and androgens in vertebrates, as a means of coping with these challenges. In… Expand
Fluctuating sexual dimorphism and differential hibernation by sex in a primate, the gray mouse lemur (Microcebus murinus)
- Jutta Schmid, P. Kappeler
- Biology

- 24 July 1998
The aim of this study was to investigate reproductive strategies and their consequences in gray mouse lemurs (Microcebus murinus), small solitary nocturnal primates endemic to Madagascar. Previous… Expand
Primate life histories and socioecology
- P. Kappeler, M. E. Pereira
- Biology
- 2003
We know a great deal about the role the environment plays in organizing primate social systems and in shaping reproductive success and survival. But how do primate life histories affect social… Expand
