Discover three new primate species as described by researchers from the DPZ, the University of Kentucky, the American Duke Lemur Center and the Université d’Antananarivo in Madagascar.

Find out how the visual system keeps track of what matters or get insights into the ecological role of fruit aroma and fruit dispersing primates.

German speaking readers can catch up on the career of former DPZ Ph.D. Dr. Christian Klaes. We asked him about his medical research on neuroprosthetics at the Knappschaftskrankenhaus in Bochum.

And because there's a grain of truth in every joke, we unreveal nothing else but the holy truth of the discovery of Microcebus ganzhorni in an ironic comment.
