Effect of habitat degradation on hantavirus infection among introduced and endemic small mammals of Madagascar

The paper investigates how habitat degradation affects hantavirus infection in small mammals in Madagascar, finding higher prevalence in agricultural areas due to increased Rattus rattus abundance and smaller body size.

Explaining the primate extinction crisis: predictors of extinction risk and active threats

The paper identifies predictors of extinction risk and active threats for primates using updated data and Bayesian analyses, showing that insular species face higher threats while omnivory and group size reduce risk.

Enriched sleep environments lengthen lemur sleep duration

The study shows that enriched sleep environments increase lemur sleep duration by about 31 minutes per day, suggesting that comfort factors like softness and insulation are more important than surface area or stability.
