The explosion of new lemur species that began when the first of those animals arrived on Madagascar more than 50 million years ago has not died down, according to scientists who’ve identified three different groups of lemurs with high speciation rates.

The research led by Katie Everson of Oregon State University provides evidence that lemurs continue to defy the evolutionary principle that says rapid species expansion is followed by a slowdown. Published in Nature Communications and funded by the National Science Foundation, the study sheds new light on a primate under extreme extinction pressure.
