M. Predation on lemurs. In S. M. Goodman, & J. P. Benstead (Eds.), The natural history of Madagascar (pp. 1221–1228). Chicago: University of Chicago Press, (2003).). The role in regulating lemur populations of the 3 introduced mammalian carnivorans —small Indian civets (Viverricula indica, Desmarest 1804), domestic dogs (Canis lupus familiaris, Linnaeus 1758), and invasive wildcats (Felis silvestris, Schreber 1775)— is less clear, but recent evidence suggests that the latter 2 are becoming important predators of diurnal lemurs. We report evidence for invasive wildcat predation on sifaka (Propithecus verreauxi verreauxi) in Parcel 1 at Beza Mahafaly Special Reserve, Madagascar, including skeletal remains of apparent Propithecus sifaka victims, observations of wildcat predatory behavior, and behavioral responses of the lemurs in the presence of wildcats.

Who hunts lemurs and why they hunt them / Cortini Borgerson ; Margaret A. McKean ; Michael R. Sutherland ; Laurie R. Godfrey  

Public ISBD Titre : Who hunts lemurs and why they hunt them Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Cortini Borgerson, Auteur ; Margaret A. McKean, Auteur ; Michael R. Sutherland, Auteur ; Laurie R. Godfrey, Auteur Année de publication : 2016 Langues : Anglais (eng) Langues originales : Anglais (eng) Catégories : LEMURIENS LEMURIENS:Menaces et Pressions Mots-clés : BUSHMEAT  LEMURS  CONSERVATION  HUNTING  HUMAN HEALTH  CHILD  MALNUTRITION  POVERTY  MASOALA  MADAGASCAR Résumé : The main threats to lemurs are habitat loss and hunting. Conservation policies often assume that people will decrease lemur hunting if they understand government prohibitions on hunting, are educated and/or involved in ecotourism, have access to affordable meat, and/or are healthy and financially secure. Yet these assumptions are often not well tested where conservation policies are implemented. We interviewed every member of a focal village in one of the most biodiverse places on earth, the Masoala peninsula of Madagascar. The factors that best predicted the decision to hunt lemurs were poverty, poor health, and child malnutrition. Knowledge of laws, level of education, involvement in ecotourism, traditional cultural values, taste preferences, opportunity, and human–wildlife conflict had no impact on lemur hunting. Our results suggest that the welfare of humans and lemurs are linked. The key to discouraging illegal hunting and improving the viability of Endangered lemur populations may be improving rural human health and welfare.
