Lemurs share many common basal primate traits, such as divergent <a href="/wiki/Digit_(anatomy)" title="Digit (anatomy)">digits</a> on their hands and feet, and <a href="/wiki/Nail_(anatomy)" title="Nail (anatomy)">nails</a> instead of <a href="/wiki/Claw" title="Claw">claws</a> (in most species).

Lemur research during the 18th and 19th centuries focused on taxonomy and specimen collection. Modern studies of lemur ecology and behavior did not begin in earnest until the 1950s and 1960s. Initially hindered by political issues on Madagascar during the mid-1970s, field studies resumed in the 1980s. Lemurs are important for research because their mix of ancestral characteristics and traits shared with anthropoid primates can yield insights on primate and <a href="/wiki/Human_evolution" title="Human evolution">human evolution</a>.

Many lemur species remain endangered due to habitat loss and hunting.

The dominant view in the literature states that female dominance is an advantageous trait given the high costs of reproduction and the scarcity of resources available.<a href="#cite_note-2008Dunham-104">[102]</a> Indeed, female dominance has been shown to be linked to increased maternal investment.<a href="#cite_note-1990Young-105">[103]</a> However, when reproductive costs and extreme seasonality of resources were compared across primates, other primates demonstrated male dominance under conditions that were similar to or more challenging than those faced by lemurs. In 2008, a new hypothesis revised this model using simple <a href="/wiki/Game_theory" title="Game theory">game theory</a>. It was argued that when two individuals were equally matched in fighting capacity, the one with the most need would win the conflict since it would have the most to lose. Consequently, the female, with higher resource needs for pregnancy, lactation, and maternal care, was more likely to win in resource conflicts with equally sized males. This, however, assumed monomorphism between sexes.<a href="#cite_note-2008Dunham-104">[102]</a> The following year, a new hypothesis was proposed to explain monomorphism, stating that because most female lemurs are only sexually receptive for a day or two each year, males can utilize a more passive form of mate guarding: <a href="/wiki/Mating_plug" title="Mating plug">copulatory plugs</a>, which block the female reproductive tract, preventing other males from successfully mating with her, and thus reducing the need for aggression and the evolutionary drive for sexual dimorphism.<a href="#cite_note-2009Dunham-34">[34]</a> In general, levels of <a href="/wiki/Agonistic_behaviour" title="Agonistic behaviour">agonism</a> (or aggression) tend to correlate with relative canine height.

However, to endure the extreme dry season, three of the five species utilize different dietary patterns and their underlying physiological traits to allow them to coexist: fork-marked lemurs feed on tree gum, sportive lemurs feed on leaves, and giant mouse lemurs sometimes feed on insect secretions. The other two species, the gray mouse lemur and the fat-tailed dwarf lemur (Cheirogaleus medius), avoid competition through reduced activity. The gray mouse lemur uses bouts of torpor, while the fat-tailed dwarf lemur hibernates completely.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESussman2003107–148-29">[29]</a> Similarly, on the east coast entire genera focus on specific food to avoid too much niche overlap.

A village or region may believe that a certain type of lemur may be the <a href="/wiki/Ancestor" title="Ancestor">ancestor</a> of the clan. They may also believe that a lemur's spirit may get revenge. Alternatively, the animal may appear as a benefactor. Lemurs are also thought to impart their qualities, good or bad, onto human babies.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERuud197097–101-166">[164]</a> In general, fady extend beyond a sense of the forbidden, but can include events that bring bad luck.<a href="#cite_note-2001Simons-83">[81]</a> One example of lemur fady told around 1970 comes from <a href="/wiki/Ambatofinandrahana" title="Ambatofinandrahana">Ambatofinandrahana</a> in the <a href="/wiki/Fianarantsoa_Province" title="Fianarantsoa Province">Fianarantsoa Province</a>. According to the account, a man brought a lemur home in a trap, but alive. His children wanted to keep the lemur as a pet, but when the father told them it was not a domestic animal, the children asked to kill it. After the children tortured the lemur, it eventually died and was eaten. A short time later, all the children died of illness. As a result, the father declared that anyone who tortures lemurs for fun shall "be destroyed and have no descendants."<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERuud197097–101-166">[164]</a> Fady can not only help protect lemurs and their forests under stable <a href="/wiki/Socioeconomics" class="mw-redirect" title="Socioeconomics">socioeconomic situations</a>, but they can also lead to discrimination and persecution if a lemur is known to bring bad fortune, for instance, if it walks through town.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEGoodmanGanzhornRakotondravony20031159–1186-61">[61]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERuud197097–101-166">[164]</a> In other ways, fady does not protect all lemurs equally.
