The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Comparative Feeding Ecology of Sympatric Microcebus berthae and M. murinus (2008, background): “…gummivorous, e.g., Euoticus, Phaner, Callithrix; frugivorous, e.g. Hylobates, Pongo; insectivorous/ faunivorous, e.g. Tarsius, Loris; and omnivorous feeding patterns, e.g. Microcebus, Papio, Pan (Clutton-Brock and Harvey 1977; Garber 1987; Gursky 2000; Nash 1986; Nekaris and Rasmussen 2003).”
Responding to forest degradation: altered habitat use by Dian's tarsier Tarsius dianae in Sulawesi, Indonesia (2005, background): “As tarsier females give birth to only one offspring per year, and as they regularly ‘park’ the infants at secure spots (MacKinnon & MacKinnon, 1980; Gursky, 1994, 2000a, 2002c, 2003) the number of young individuals (Table 1) is difficult to determine.”
Evolution of Primate Social Systems (2002, background): “First, nocturnal activity is strongly correlated with a solitary life style, perhaps because group cohesion and coordination would be difficult and might attract predators, but some nocturnal primates are not solitary and the only solitary anthropoid is diurnal (Gursky, 2000a; Wright, 1989).”
Diet and Feeding Behavior of Mysore Slender Lorises (2003, result): “Our results place Loris tardigradus lydekkerianus other highly or fully faunivorous primates (Tarsius spp., Galago demidoff, Arctocebus calabarensis: Charles-Dominique, 1977; Gursky, 1997; Sussman, 1999).”
