This is so despite the fact that the considerable intrinsic interest of the living prosimians and the signifi cance of their stuQ,y for our understanding of the earlier stages of primate evolution have long been acknowledged by zoologists, paleontologists, and anthropologists alike. Among the prosimians, the Malagasy lemurs are of profound interest not only because they include the only extant diurnal forms, but also because it is only on Madagascar that the absence of competition with higher primates has allowed a surviving prosimian fauna to radiate, es sentially unrestricted, into a broad spectrum of ecological zones. In contrast, the few extant prosimians of Africa and Asia occupy a relatively narrow range of "refuge" niches; although of considerable interest in themselves, they do not show the richness and variety of adaptation which make the Malagasy prosimian fauna such a fascinating object of study. Over the past few years, however, there has been a considerable resur gence of interest in the prosimians in general, and in the lemurs in partic | | 出版日期 | Book 1975 | | 关键词 | adaptation; anatomy; biology; ecology; evolution; fauna; primates; systematics | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4684-2121-7 | | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4684-2123-1 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4684-2121-7 | | copyright | Plenum Press, New York 1975 |
