Given the marked variation in abiotic and biotic conditions between day and night, many
species specialise their physical activity to being diurnal or nocturnal, and it was long …

The temporal niche that an animal occupies includes a coordinated suite of behavioral and
physiological processes that set diurnal and nocturnal animals apart. The daily rhythms of …

Most modern mammals, including strictly diurnal species, exhibit sensory adaptations to
nocturnal activity that are thought to be the result of a prolonged nocturnal phase or …

Increased brain size in humans and other primates is hypothesized to confer cognitive
benefits but brings costs associated with growing and maintaining energetically expensive …

The subtropical populations of owl monkeys (Aotus) and some lemurs have flexible patterns
that include activity during both day and night. Early studies on the activity patterns of …

Estimating population spread rates across multiple species is vital for projecting biodiversity
responses to climate change. A major challenge is to parameterise spread models for many …

Owl monkeys are the only nocturnal primates in the New World and the only nocturnal
anthropoids. They concentrate their activities during the dark phase of the 24-h cycle, with …

The endemic lemurs of Madagascar (Lemuriformes: Primates) exhibit great social and
communicative diversity. Given their independent evolutionary history, lemurs provide an …

Understanding why some species are more susceptible to extinction than others is critical for
implementing effective conservation strategies. Phylogenetic comparative methods (PCMs) …

The extant primates of Madagascar (Lemuriformes) represent the endpoints of an adaptive
radiation following a single colonization event more than 50 million years ago. They have …
