The use of Vocalizations of the Sambirano Mouse Lemur (Microcebus sambiranensis) in an Acoustic Survey of Habitat Preference

Abstract: Primate vocalizations convey a variety of information to conspecifics. The acoustic traits of these vocalizations are an effective vocal fingerprint to discriminate between sibling species for taxonomic diagnosis. However, the vocal behavior of nocturnal primates has been poorly studied and there are few studies of their vocal repertoires. We compiled a vocal repertoire for the Endangered Sambirano mouse lemur, Microcebus sambiranensis, an unstudied nocturnal primate of northwestern Madagascar, and compared th… Show more

“…The climate of SIRNP is highly seasonal, with a separate hotter wet season (November-April) and a cooler dry season (May-October) (Mandl et al, 2018). Mean temperature range in SIRNP is 20.6-32.0 °C, with recorded extreme temperatures of 13.2-39.1 °C (Hending et al, 2017b;Volampeno et al, 2011) and mean annual precipitation rates of approximately 1,600 mm (Schwitzer et al, 2007).…”

“…The climate of SIRNP is hot, subhumid, and highly seasonal, with a humid wet season (November–April) and a distinctly cooler dry season (May–October) (Mandl et al, 2018). The mean temperature range of SIRNP is 20.6–32.0°C, with an extreme temperature range of 13.2–39.1°C (Hending, Holderied, et al, 2017; Hending, McCabe, et al, 2017b) and a mean annual precipitation of ~1600 mm (Schwitzer, Randriatahina, et al, 2007).…”

“…Transitional forest: subhumid forests comprised of a mix of both evergreen and deciduous species and characterized by wet and dry seasons. Transitional forests are primarily distributed throughout the Sambirano domain of northwestern Madagascar (Tattersall & Sussman, 1975), which has its own unique bioclimate (Hending et al, 2017; Projet ZICOMA, 1999; Schatz, 2000; Van Heygen, 2004), geography (Boumans et al, 2007; Wilmé et al, 2006), and its own composition of tree species, many of which are endemic to only the transitional forests of the Sambirano domain (Birkinshaw, 2004; Schatz, 2001) and may respond differently to climate change than species typical of dry, humid, and spiny forests (Figure 1). We note that we did not include mangrove forest in this study, as unmitigated climate change‐driven mangrove forest area loss is predicted to be primarily due to rising sea levels (Clausen et al, 2010), and this is something that we cannot control for in this study.…”
