Lemurs' Evolutionary Success
Lemurs have been evolving new species on the island of Madagascar for over 50 million years.
Something special is happening on Madagascar.
They first arrived on the island 53.2 million years ago, likely traveling on a vegetation raft from mainland Africa, and have since thrived in various habitats.
- Over 100 extant species have evolved and filled ecological niches on Madagascar.
- Lemurs defy the typical evolutionary principle of slowing down species growth.
Authors note: Lemurs evolution is unique and still ongoing.
