The ring-tailed lemur (Lemur catta) is one of 101 recognized species and subspecies of lemur found only in Madagascar.

Lemurs are strepsirrhine primates, all species of which are endemic to Madagascar. They include the smallest primate in the world, Madame Berthe's mouse lemur, which weighs 30 g, and range up to the size of the indri, which can weigh as much as 9,5 kg. However, recently extinct species grew much larger. As of 2010, five families, 15 genera, and 101 species and subspecies of lemur are formally recognized. Of the 101 species and subspecies, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has classified eight as Critically Endangered, 18 as Endangered, 15 as Vulnerable, four as Near Threatened, eight as Least Concern, 41 as Data Deficient, and seven have yet to be evaluated. From 2000 through 2008, 39 new species were described and nine other taxa resurrected.

The number of lemur species is likely to continue growing in the coming years, as field studies, cytogenetic and molecular genetic research continues. There is not complete agreement over the latest revisions to lemur taxonomy, with some experts preferring an estimated 50 lemur species. The debates are likely to continue, as some scholars label the explosive growth of species numbers as taxonomic inflation. In many cases, classifications will ultimately depend upon which species concept is used. In the case of the lemurs of Madagascar, which have suffered extensively from deforestation and habitat fragmentation, nearly 25% of all species are either Endangered or Critically Endangered, most have yet to be extensively studied, and nearly all populations are in decline. For these reasons, taxonomists and conservationists favor splitting them into separate species to develop an effective strategy for the conservation of the full range of lemur diversity. Implicitly, this means that full species status will help grant genetically distinct populations added environmental protection.

At least 17 species and eight genera are believed to have become extinct in the 2,000 years since humans first arrived in Madagascar. All known extinct species were large, ranging in weight van 10 tot 200 kg. The largest known subfossil lemur was Archaeoindris fontoynonti, a giant sloth lemur, which weighed more than a modern female gorilla. The extinction of the largest lemurs is often attributed to predation by humans and possibly habitat destruction. Since all extinct lemurs were not only large (and thus ideal prey species), but also slow-moving (and thus more vulnerable to human predation), their presumably slow-reproducing and low-density populations were least likely to survive the introduction of humans. Gradual changes in climate have also been blamed, and may have played a minor role; however since the largest lemurs also survived the climatic changes from previous ice ages and only disappeared following the arrival of humans, it is unlikely that climatic change was largely responsible.

There is strong evidence of extensive declines in extant populations since the introductions of humans, particularly among the larger and more specialized lemurs. As long as habitats continue to shrink, degrade and fragment, extinctions are likely to continue.

Extant species

{{Main|Lemur}}

All lemurs belong to the suborder Strepsirrhini within the order Primates. The 101 extant species and subspecies are divided among 5 families and 15 genera. Ze variëren in gewicht van 30 g (Madame Berthe's mouse lemur) tot 9,5 kg (indri). Most are highly arboreal and activity patterns range widely from nocturnal to diurnal to cathemeral. Having diversified over millions of years to fill every ecological niche, diets also vary widely, though fruit, leaves, and insects make up the majority of the diet for most species.

Familie Cheirogaleidae

De familie van de Cheirogaleidae bestaat uit de muismaki's (de kleinste van alle primaten), de katmaki's,de vorkstreepmaki's en verwante soorten. Er zijn 30 levende soorten in de familie ingedeeld.

De dwergmuismaki is één van de 16 kleine, nocturnal muismakisoorten

Fork-marked lemurs are the largest of the cheirogaleids.

Family: Lemuridae

Family Lemuridae consists of the ring-tailed lemur, the brown lemurs, the bamboo lemurs and the ruffed lemurs. There are 21 extant species and six subspecies.

The red-fronted lemur, like other brown lemurs, is sexually dichromatic (the sexes have different colorations).

The ring-tailed lemur is highly social and is the most popularly known lemur species.

Ruffed lemurs are the largest of the extant lemurids.

Family: Daubentoniidae

Family Daubentoniidae contains only one surviving species, of the aye-aye. Wide ranging genetic studies have shown that it separated from the ancestral lemurs long before any other branch of the modern Lemuriformes.

The aye-aye has many physical traits unique for a primate and is represented by a single extant species.

Uitgestorven soorten

{{Main|Subfossil lemur}} All known extinct lemurs from Madagascar are known from recent, subfossil remains. Conditions for fossilization were not ideal on the island, so little is known about ancestral lemur populations. All known extinct lemurs are thought to have died out after the arrival of humans.

Voetnoten

• {{note label|rufus|a|a}}In 2008, the red lemur, Eulemur rufus, was split into two species, Eulemur rufus (red lemur) and Eulemur rufifrons (red-fronted lemur). Also, Eulemur rufus was previously known as the red-fronted lemur, but was renamed the red lemur, while Eulemur rufifrons assumed its former name.
• {{note label|cinereiceps|b|b}}Formerly referred to as Eulemur albocollaris or white-collared brown lemur, but was changed in 2008.
• {{note label|babakoia|c|c}}This extinction date for Babakotia radofilai is based on a single radiocarbon date from one specimen. For this reason, it is hard to tell when this species became extinct or how it is related to other lemur species.
• {{note label|samplesize|d|d}}Average weights reported for this species are based on very small sample sizes or are general ranges for its genus and thus require further research.
