Are sleeping site ecology and season linked to intestinal helminth prevalence and diversity in two sympatric, nocturnal and arboreal primate hosts (Lepilemur edwardsi and Avahi occidentalis)?

Abstract: BackgroundVarious factors, such as climate, body size and sociality are often linked to parasitism. This constrains the identification of other determinants driving parasite infections. Here, we investigate for the first time intestinal parasites in two sympatric arboreal primate species, which share similar activity patterns, feeding ecology, body size and sociality, and cope with the same climate conditions, but differ in sleeping site ecology: the Milne-Edward’s sportive lemur (Lepilemur edwardsi) and the W… Show more

“…Considering its importance to individual survival, the selection of an appropriate sleeping site is essential for nonhuman primates (hereinafter called “primates”) (Anderson, 1984; Cheyne et al, 2012). Many factors influence the selection of sleeping sites in primates, including protection from predators (Anderson, 1998), proximity to food resources (Gazagne et al, 2020), range or resource defense (Li et al, 2011), parasite avoidance (Hokan et al, 2018; Hausfater & Meade, 1982), seeking comfort (Cheyne et al, 2012), and sheltering from bad weather (Mandl et al, 2018). Primate sleeping site selection can be explained by a combination of non‐mutually exclusive factors (José‐Domínguez et al, 2015), which vary widely across species (Kappeler, 1998; Smith et al, 2018).…”
