• Influence of Dry Season and Food Quality and Quantity on Behavior and Feeding Strategy of Propithecus verreauxi in Kirindy, Madagascar (2006, background): “3) is related to the variation in day length (Erkert and Kappeler, 2004) and to the decrease of night minimum temperatures during the early middle dry season, which leads to a reduction of lemurs’ metabolic rate (Pereira, 1993; Sorg and Rohner, 1996).”
• A 15-Year Perspective on the Social Organization and Life History of Sifaka in Kirindy Forest (2012, unknown): “Sifakas are strictly diurnal (Erkert and Kappeler 2004).”
