A key aspect of a primate’s ecology is its food source, the very nature of which is spatially and seasonally dependent and may be affected by anthropic pressures. One of the most endangered, yet best-studied, strepsirrhine primates is the ring-tailed lemur (Lemur catta), a species that has experienced significant human-induced habitat loss over many decades. To help understand feeding variability across time and space, I present a literature review of plant species (and parts) fed on by ring-tailed lemurs at nine sites in Madagascar: Ambatotsirongorongo, Andringitra Massif, Anja Reserve, Antserananomby, Berenty Reserve, Bezà Mahafaly Special Reserve, Cap Sainte-Marie, Tsaranoro Valley Forest, and Tsimanampetsotsa National Park. I gathered literature using keyword searches on Google Scholar (https://scholar.google.com/) and verified scientific names using the “Catalogue of the Plants of Madagascar” (http://legacy.tropicos.org/Project/Madagascar). From 24 studies, I identify 221 genera and 241 species of consumed plants, with 92 genera and 70 species consumed at two or more sites. Based on the available distribution data, 63% of species are endemic and 22% native. Sixty-seven plants are known only by Malagasy common names and excluded from analyses. When authors identify the plant tissue consumed, 52% of species in the diet are represented by a single tissue type, typically leaves (mature and immature) or fruit (ripe or unripe). This review highlights the importance of studying multiple populations when creating dietary summaries of species and should prove valuable to those exploring ecological trends and habitat use by ring-tailed lemurs.

灵长类动物生态学的一个关键方面是它的食物来源，其本质在空间和季节上都取决于食物，可能受到人类压力的影响。环尾狐猴（Lemur catta）是最濒危，但研究最好的灵长类灵长类动物之一），该物种在过去几十年中经历了人为造成的重大栖息地丧失。为了帮助理解跨时空的饲喂变异性，我对马达加斯加的9个地点的环尾狐猴饲养的植物物种（和部分）进行了文献综述：Ambatotsirongorongo，Andringitra Massif，Anja保护区，Antserananomby，Berenty保护区，BezàMahafaly特别保护区，圣玛丽码头，Tsaranoro山谷森林和Tsimanampetsotsa国家公园。我使用Google学术搜索（https://scholar.google.com/）上的关键字搜索来收集文献，并使用“马达加斯加植物目录”（http://legacy.tropicos.org/Project/Madagascar）验证了科学名称。 。从24项研究中，我确定了221属和241种食用植物，其中92属和70种在两个或多个地点被食用。根据现有的分布数据，有63％的物种是地方性物种，而22％是本地物种。仅马达加斯加人的通名才知道这67株植物，并从分析中排除了它们。当作者确定消耗的植物组织时，饮食中52％的物种由单一组织类型代表，通常是叶子（成熟和未成熟）或果实（成熟或未成熟）。这篇综述强调了在创建物种饮食摘要时研究多个种群的重要性，并且对于那些探索环尾狐猴的生态趋势和栖息地使用的人应该证明是有价值的。通常是叶子（成熟和未成熟）或果实（成熟或未成熟）。这篇综述强调了在创建物种饮食摘要时研究多个种群的重要性，并且对于那些探索环尾狐猴的生态趋势和栖息地使用的人应该证明是有价值的。通常是叶子（成熟和未成熟）或果实（成熟或未成熟）。这篇综述强调了在创建物种饮食摘要时研究多个种群的重要性，并且对于那些探索环尾狐猴的生态趋势和栖息地使用的人应该证明是有价值的。
