Combined field and laboratory observations indicated that mouse lemurs are in fact a good model for the ancestral primate condition and that several key adaptations can be traced to a small nocturnal ancestor in the "fine-branch niche" of tropical and subtropical forests.
Projects covered the mongoose lemur (PhD, D. Curtis), the Alaotran gentle lemur (PhD, T. Mutschler), the thick-tailed dwarf lemur (PhD, A. Müller), a comparative study of the sportive lemur and the woolly lemur (postdoctoral study, U. Thalman) and an overall, multi-level analysis of phylogenetic relationships among lemurs using mitochondrial DNA sequence data (PhD, J. Pastorini).
The thick-tailed dwarf lemur is of special interest among primates because it hibernates for up to seven months, while comparison between the sportive lemur and the woolly lemur is particularly instructive because these two species are folivores of similar size yet show marked differences in ranging and social behaviour.
