There is also another great paper on mouse lemur diversification in the new edition of @natureecoevo.bsky.social from van Elst et al., so be sure to check it out! That's their amazing mouse lemur photo on the cover!

Integrative taxonomy clarifies the evolution of a cryptic primate clade - Nature Ecology & Evolution
A spatial taxonomic framework integrating genomic, morphological, ecological, life history and acoustic data is used to clarify the cryptic evolution of the taxonomically controversial mouse lemur com...

3. Many lemurs have really high genomic diversity when compared to most other primates. We found a pervasive pattern of interspecific gene flow among those species that likely occurred during Pleistocene forest fragmentation and reconnection #RetreatDispersal

2. Species in the same ecogeographic regions have similar patterns of demographic history. The ecological demands of Madagascar’s wet and dry forest ecosystems have shaped the population size and genomic diversity of many species of lemurs throughout the Pleistocene.

1. Dramatic recent population declines in lemurs are consistent with the timing of human population expansion across Madagascar during the last 2000 years and a shift toward the consumption of smaller lemurs following the extinction of other larger bodied species. #SubsistenceShiftHypothesis
