Lemurs of Madagascar and the Comoros the Lucn Red Data Book Lemurs of Madagascar and the Comoros The lUCN Red Data Book Prepared by The World Conservation Monitoring Centre lUCN - The World Conservation Union 6(^2_ LEMURS OF MADAGASCAR and the Comoros The lUCN Red Data Book lUCN - THE WORLD CONSERVATION UNION Founded in 1948, lUCN - The World Conservation Union - is a membership organisation comprising governments, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), research institutions, and conservation agencies in 120 countries. The Union's objective is to promote and encourage the protection and sustainable utilisation of living resources. Several thousand scientists and experts from all continents form part of a network supporting the work of its six Commissions: threatened species, protected areas, ecology, sustainable development, environmental law and environmental education and training. Its thematic programmes include tropical forests, wetlands, marine ecosystems, plants, the Sahel, Antarctica, population and natural resources, and women in conservation. These activities enable lUCN and its members to develop sound policies and programmes for the conservation of biological diversity and sustainable development of natural resources. WCMC - THE WORLD CONSERVATION MONITORING CENTRE The World Conservation Monitoring Centre (WCMC) is a joint venture between the three partners in the World Conservation Strategy, the World Conservation Union (lUCN), the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). Its mission is to support conservation and sustainable development by collecting and analysing global conservation data so that decisions affecting biological resources are based on the best available information. WCMC has developed a global overview database of the world's biological diversity that includes threatened plant and animal species, habitats of conservation concern, critical sites, protected areas of the world, and the utilisation and trade in wildlife species and products. Drawing on this database, WCMC provides an information service to the conservation and development communities, governments and United Nations agencies, scientific institutions, the business and commercial sector, and the media. WCMC produces a wide variety of specialist outputs and reports based on analyses of its data. ^ Co) «4».

Its publication now is extremely timely. With a faima and flora substantially and long different from continental Africa, the biota of Madagascar is recognized as one of the top priorities for conservation of biodiversity globally. Over the next decade many resources will be channeled into conservation efforts in Madagascar. The information contained in the Lemur Red Data Book should serve as an invaluable source for those who must make decisions about where specific resources are most needed and can best be used. But perhaps even more important than the information contained in the Red Data Book is the information that it does not contain. There are tremendous gaps in knowledge of the taxonomy, ecology and behavior of most of the lemurs. Our ability to act quickly and wisely to conserve these animals is undeniably limited by this lack of knowledge. Identifying those areas where information is sorely lacking, and moving to upgrade data from these areas, has always been a basic goal of lUCN's conservation effort. I strongly urge that the need to expand the data base be foremost in our minds as we help develop conservation programs in Madagascar and that we make every effort to fill as many of the knowledge gaps as possible in the course of supporting conservation projects and programs. This book could not have been compiled without support from Bristol Zoo, Conservation International, World Wildlife Fund (U.S.) Primate Program, the Madagascar Fauna Captive Propagation Group of AAZPA, Jersey Wildlife Preservation Trust and the Pare Zoologique et Botanique de la Ville de Mulhouse. They deserve a special thank you for making this volume possible. George Rabb Chairman lUCN Species Survival Commission. Notes on Authors Caroline Harcourt is a primatologist affiliated with the Zoology Department, University of Cambridge, U.K. She specialises in the study of nocturnal prosimians, but now earns her living as a researcher and writer on conservation issues. Jane Thomback has been compiler, and more recently editor, of the lUCN Mammal Red Data Book for fourteen years. Lemurs ofMadagascar and the Comoros PREFACE (2) The Primate Specialist Group of lUCN has long recognised Madagascar as its top priority and is now in the process of preparing an Action Plan for Primate Conservation in Madagascar to guide its activities there over the critical last decade of this century. As should be obvious from the species accounts here, one of the most glaring gaps in our knowledge of lemurs is often the most basic information on geographic distribution and conservation status. In spite of several centuries of observation and collection and more than three decades of research, we still are not clear as to the limits of the distribution of most species and have only the most subjective impressions of conservation status.

R.1; School of Medicine, Johns Hopkins University/ Baltimore, h4D 21218 (M.B.) KEY WORDS Semiorders Paromomyiformes and Euprimates, Suborders Strepsirhini and Haplorhini, Semisuborder Anthropoidea, Cranioskeletal morphology, Adapidae, Omomyidae, Grades vs. monophyletic (paraphyletic or holophyletic) taxa ABSTRACT We contrast our approach to a phylogenetic diagnosis of the order Primates, and its various supraspecific taxa, with definitional proce- dures. The order, which we divide into the semiorders Paromomyiformes and Euprimates, is clearly diagnosable on the basis of well-corroborated informa- tion from the fossil record. Lists of derived features which we hypothesize to have been fixed in the first representative species of the Primates, Eupri- mates, Strepsirhini, Haplorhini, and Anthropoidea, are presented. Our clas- sification of the order includes both holophyletic and paraphyletic groups, depending on the nature of the available evidence. We discuss in detail the problematic evidence of the basicranium in Paleo- gene primates and present new evidence for the resolution of previously controversial interpretations. We renew and expand our emphasis on postcra- nial analysis of fossil and living primates to show the importance of under- standing their evolutionary morphology and subsequent to this their use for understanding taxon phylogeny. We reject the much advocated %ladograms first, phylogeny next, and scenario third” approach which maintains that biologically founded character analysis, i.e., functional-adaptive analysis and paleontology, is irrelevant to genealogy hypotheses.
