Abstract
Observations on the mating behavior on a group of lemurs and lorisoids suggests a correlation between peaks of sexual activity and the lunar cycle in Lemur spp. and possibly in Galago spp. The observations were made on a group of four (2 males, 2 females) Lemur fulvus E. Geoffroy, a pair of L, albifrons E. Geoffroy, 3 females and 1 male Galago senigalensis E. Geoffroy, one male and one immature female G. crassicaudatus E. Geoffroy, and three pairs of Perodicticus potto.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
