Madagascar's lemurs live with the threat of cyclones. Has this shaped their behavior?

91% Informative
Madagascar is the only place in the world where lemurs, a group of primates, are naturally found.
Lemurs show a higher degree of traits associated with resilience to living in a disaster-prone environment.
The more a lemur species is affected by cyclones, the smaller they are, says study co-author.
Lemur species with smaller bodies experienced greater cyclone impacts.
North-east of the island was found to experience higher cyclone activity compared to the south-west.
This aligns with previous research suggesting that larger primates, which require more food and space and reproduce more slowly, are less resilient.
