Abstract

With a focus on three lemur species (Eulemur rubriventer, E. rufifrons, and Varecia variegata editorum) in a Malagasy tropical rainforest, we investigated how nocturnal luminosity (NLI), temperature, and rainfall influenced their active state and distance traveled at night compared to the day. We monitored them across 24‐h cycles from May 2023 to September 2024 using GPS collars.
