lemuridae การใช้

• This classification is still used, except that the bamboo lemurs were moved back to Lemuridae.
• The only extinct member of the family Lemuridae, the genus " Pachylemur " contains two species that closely resembled living ruffed lemurs.
• The gestation period of ruffed lemurs is the shortest of the family Lemuridae, averaging 102 days ( with a range of 90 to 106 days ).
• There is no evidence of female dominance in this species, which is unusual in the family Lemuridae but appears to be frequent in brown lemur species.
• In addition to an abnormally short gestation period, ruffed lemurs share another feature with small, nocturnal lemurs by producing the largest litters of the family Lemuridae.
• Because of the difficulty in discerning the relationships within family Lemuridae, not all authorities agree on the taxonomy, although the majority of the primatological community favors the current classification.
• Classifications in the first half of the 20th century divided lemurs into three families : Daubentoniidae, Indriidae, and Lemuridae, with the latter including the current Cheirogaleidae and Lepilemuridae.
• According to Flower, the suborder Lemuroidea contained the families Lemuridae ( lemurs, lorises, and galagos ), Chiromyidae ( aye-aye ), and Tarsiidae ( tarsiers ).
• For example, " Hapalemur " and " Prolemur " have short snouts, while the ring-tailed lemur and the rest of Lemuridae have long snouts.
• Consequently, the three genera were once grouped together in the genus " Lemur " and more recently are sometimes referred to as subfamily Lemurinae ( within family Lemuridae ).
• The "'mongoose lemur "'( " Eulemur mongoz " ) is a small primate in the Lemuridae family, native to Madagascar and the Comoros Islands.
• Although all studies place Cheirogaleidae and Lepilemuridae as a sister clade to Indriidae and Lemuridae, some suggest that Cheirogaleidae and Lepilemuridae diverged first, while others suggest that Indriidae and Lemuridae were the first to branch off.

• Together with the twelve other true lemurs ( genus " Eulemur " ), the Collared Brown Lemur ( " E . collaris " ) is a type of lemur belonging to the family Lemuridae.
• However, other anatomical and developmental traits suggested that monkey lemurs might be more closely related to family Lemuridae, which include five genera of lemur, including the ring-tailed lemur ( " Lemur catta " ).
• From the 1970s to the 1990s, there have been suggestions that the ruffed lemurs might be related to indriids or a sister group to Lemuridae and Indriidae and that the bamboo lemurs are related to the sportive lemurs, but neither view is supported by molecular phylogeny.
• Because of concerns that Lemuridae might not be monophyletic, the family was later split; in 1982 Tattersall separated the Cheirogaleidae for the dwarf lemurs, mouse lemurs and relatives, and the Lepilemuridae for the sportive lemurs and bamboo lemurs ( including the greater bamboo lemur ).
• Genetic research does not support a close relationship between the sportive and koala lemurs and instead places the koala lemurs as a sister group to Lemuridae; therefore, the two are now placed in separate families ( Lepilemuridae for the sportive lemurs and Megaladapidae for the koala lemurs ).
• They are considered an " evolutionary enigma " in that they are the largest of the extant species in Lemuridae, yet exhibit reproductive traits more common in small, nocturnal lemurs, such as short gestation periods ( ~ 102 days ) and relatively large average litter sizes ( ~ 2 3 ).
• The crowned lemur is in the order of Primates as it possesses characteristics such as pseudo-opposable thumbs, binocular vision and is highly intelligent . " E . coronatus " shares with others of the family Lemuridae long and slender limbs, a slightly longer nose, a smaller brain and a'grooming comb'formed by the incisors and canine teeth.
