Lemur Scent Communication explores the fascinating world of how lemurs use scent markings to navigate their complex social lives. Scent communication isn't just rudimentary; it's a nuanced system conveying individual identity, social status, and reproductive condition. Delving into primate behavior and chemical ecology, the book reveals how scent plays a vital role in maintaining social cohesion and regulating reproductive success within lemur communities.

The book progresses from introducing lemur olfactory systems and scent secretion chemistry to exploring scent-marking behaviors and their function in establishing dominance and advertising reproductive status. Detailed analyses of scent mark chemical composition reveal how subtle variations convey specific information.

Understanding lemur scent communication is crucial for conservation, informing habitat management and mitigating human-wildlife conflict. The book synthesizes decades of research, incorporating new findings from field studies and laboratory analyses to offer a comprehensive view.
