NOTE: In Campbell's book, look at all the color plates in the middle of the book.
- 4 LORISOIDS: all nocturnal or largely so (maybe some cathemeral or crepuscular)
- Galaginae (African, widespread): Leaping (saltation, VCL; more quadrupedal when large)
- Perodictinae (W. African Lorisidae): Primarily slow climbing
- Lorisinae (So. Asian Lorisidae): Slow climbing or quadrupedal
- Loris: So. India, Sri Lanka
- Nycticebus: SE Asia, from Bangladesh to Java
- Diets quite varied: tree gums ("exudates"), lots of insects; fruits, nectar
- Scent marking
- 5 MADAGASCAR LEMURS:
Coastal lowlands, not mountainous interior
Often living in noyaux
Mostly omnivorous, with lots of fruits and flowers
- Cheirogaleidae (dwarf & mouse lemurs): mostly nocturnal, quadrupedal
- Lemuridae (wooly lemurs): mostly diurnal or crepuscular, quadrupedal; "opportunistic omnivores"
- Lepilemuridae (sportive lemurs): mostly nocturnal, quadrupedal; lots of leaves in diet
Extinct, bear-like Megaladapis may belong here
- Indriidae (silky lemurs): diurnal, Vertical Clinging & Leaping
- Daubentoniidae (aye-aye): nocturnal, quadrupedal; primarily insectivorous
- Extinct Paleopropithecidae ("sloth-lemurs"): prob. suspensory
- 6 TARSIIDAE:
- Mostly (or all) insect-eating (plus small vertebrates)
- Nocturnal; no reflective tapetum lucidum; more active in moonlight
- Sleeps socially in small groups (2-6, socially); Ficus trees favored
- Parental care: cache ("parking") and carry
- 33 NUTRITION
- Carbohydrates: fruits, leaves, gums (exudates)
- Proteins: insects, small vertebrates, young leaves
- Lipids: insects, seeds
- Vitamins + minerals: fruits + misc.
- 34 SEED DISPERSAL
- 36 LOCOMOTOR BEHAVIOR
