• The lemur syndrome unresolved: extreme male reproductive skew in sifakas (Propithecus verreauxi), a sexually monomorphic primate with female dominance (2008, unknown): “Second, it has also been suggested that female interests ultimately determine the number of males per group (van Schaik and Hörstermann 1994; Ostner and Kappeler 2004) and that selection on female competitive ability renders male–male competition effectively irrelevant (Kappeler 2000).”
• Male life history and the unusual adult sex ratios of redfronted lemur, Eulemur fulvus rufus, groups (2004, unknown): “Among gregarious species, much of the variation in social organization between species and populations can be reduced to variation in the number of adult males within groups (Kappeler 2000a).”
