    Lemur L. rosalia exhibit routine food sharing, including donation and theft, within family groups. These behaviors likely enhance successful reproduction and cooperative infant care in this species.

    Area of Science:

    • Primate behavior
    • Animal communication
    • Reproductive strategies

    Background:

    • Captive Lemur loris rosalia (L. rosalia) display complex social interactions.
    • Food exchange, encompassing donation and theft, is a notable aspect of their group dynamics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the patterns and potential functions of food sharing in captive L. rosalia.
    • To determine how food exchange relates to reproductive success and social structure.

    Main Methods:

    • Observational study of food exchange behaviors within captive L. rosalia family groups.
    • Analysis of food movement patterns in relation to social roles, reproductive status, and infant care.

    Main Results:

    • Food sharing varied from donation, using invitational signals, to theft.

  • Food predominantly moved towards males before conception, pregnant females, infant carriers, weanlings, and juveniles.
  • Third individuals in trios also received food regardless of age or relatedness.

    • Conclusions:

    • L. rosalia food-sharing habits are integral to cooperative infant care and provisioning.
    • These food exchange behaviors likely contribute to the overall reproductive success of the species.
