Een reported as using mangrove habitats. The systematic literature search produced peerreviewed records of mangrove use by two species (Eulemur fulvus and E. macaco) not reported in earlier testimonials,also as a further record of one species (Lemur catta) already recognized to work with this habitat. These records may have been previously overlooked for the reason that the word mangrove was not talked about inside the title,abstract,or key phrases with the papers in query,and so might not have been picked up by search engines like google. The survey generated responses from people including positive reports from respondents relating to observations of species; of these,a minimum of species have not previously been reported from mangrove habitats. 5 records were supported by photographs (Fig From the records that may be assigned to species on the basis of locality,species are globally threatened with extinction,of that are Vulnerable,Endangered,and Critically Endangered (Schwitzer et al One particular extra species was reported by nearby staff of the Eden Reforestation Project and matches the description of Cheirogaleus medius,but I treat this record as unconfirmed since it was reported second hand and hence don’t include it inside the species totals. Neither published records nor survey respondents tended to supply a great deal information with regard for the behavior of observed lemurs inside mangrove habitats,at least in component for the reason that observations have been usually short,oneoff events,and the truth that it may be complicated to ascribe behavior categories to active people at night. Nevertheless,the reports indicate that distinctive species might use mangroves for a varietyTable I Summary of published and unpublished records of lemurs in mangroves Observersource Facts of observation MonthSpeciesRLLocationFamily Cheirogaleidae Jamie Shattenberg Nick Garbutt Donati et al.
