“…A comparative analysis of primate hearing sensitivity found an association between hearing sensitivity to higher-frequency sound and sociality (group size) [Ramsier et al, 2012a]. It is interesting to note that T. pumilus exhibits larger group sizes than lowland Sulawesian tarsiers, with up to 5 individuals sharing a sleeping tree [Grow, 2013b]. T. spectrumgurskyae is more social than once was thought, with frequent interactions between groups [Gursky, 2000].…”

“…Use of higher frequency calls during short range communication might be selected for in montane mossy forest, as lower-frequency calls travel farther; for instance, ground squirrels use ultrasonic calls when juveniles are clustered nearby and predators are farther away [Wilson and Hare, 2006]. T. pumilus was found to have smaller home ranges than lowland Sulawesian tarsiers [Grow, 2013b], which may suggest closer proximities between individuals.…”

“…In contrast with all other tarsiers, the mountain tarsier exclusively inhabits cloud forest at elevations above 1800 m.a.s.l. [ 16 , 19 ]. T. pumilus exhibits morphological and behavioural peculiarities in respect to other extant tarsiers, like elongated nails, evidently reduced scent marking and the lack of a conspicuous duet song in the human hearing range [ 14 , 16 , 18 , 20 ].…”
