120 Years of “Lemurology”: A Qualitative
Review of What We Have Learned
ABSTRACT
The high diversity and microendemism of
Madagascar's evolutionary unique primates, lemurs,
have attracted scholars and sci-entists from
various disciplines for more than a century.
Unfortunately, lemur populations are facing high
risks threatening their continued existence. A
synthesis of the current knowledge about this
unique taxonomic group is, therefore, timely to
establish a foundation for future studies that
can be used in evidence-based actions in both in
situ and ex situ conservation settings. This
review explores the extensive body of published
research about lemurs, consolidating findings
from various studies. Covering a range of topics,
the review synthesizes about 120 years of
scientific articles, starting in 1900, to
summarize current advances in scientific studies
about lemur, that is, “Lemurology”, beyond reports
of their discoveries and descriptions. It also
addresses the conservation challenges these animals
face, emphasizing the urgent need for effective
protective measures. By synthesizing and analyzing
a wealth of scientific literature, this review can
serve as an important resource for researchers,
conservationists, and educators interested in lemur
biology and conservation.
