Dogs, Primates, and People: A Review
People are assisted by dogs in many activities which may bring them into contact with primates, often leading to negative interactions and outcomes for one or other species. People’s perceptions and behaviour ...

Exploring and interpreting spatiotemporal interactions between native and invasive carnivores across a gradient of rainforest degradation
Studies of elusive carnivores often rely on passive sampling when investigating either spatial or temporal interactions. However, inference on behavioral mechanisms are usually lacking. We present an analysis ...

Occupancy Modeling Reveals Interspecific Variation in Habitat Use and Negative Effects of Dogs on Lemur Populations
Effective, targeted management and conservation plans for wildlife populations require reliable population sampling and estimation. Unfortunately, robust, comprehensive primate population estimates are often l...

Interactions Between Carnivores in Madagascar and the Risk of Disease Transmission
Introduced carnivores exert considerable pressure on native predators through predation, competition and disease transmission. Recent research shows that exotic carnivores negatively affect the distribution an...

Modeling co-occurrence between toxic prey and naïve predators in an incipient invasion
Biological invasions can represent important threats to endemic species, including those within the invaders’ food webs. The Asian common toad (Duttaphrynus melanostictus) was introduced to Madagascar in 2011. Th...

Estimating Encounter Rates and Densities of Three Lemur Species in Northeastern Madagascar
Primate populations, including Madagascar’s lemurs, are threatened worldwide and conservationists need accurate population estimates to develop targeted conservation plans. We sought to fill knowledge gaps for...

Predator–Primate Distribution, Activity, and Co-occurrence in Relation to Habitat and Human Activity Across Fragmented and Contiguous Forests in Northeastern Madagascar
Predator–primate interactions are understudied, yet predators have been shown to influence primate behavior, population dynamics, and spatial distribution. An understanding of these interactions is important f...
