biology_ecology · Plazi

Movements, Home range and Social organization. The limited data available suggest that the Rondo Dwarf Galagois a relatively solitary forager that comes togetherto sleep in small groups. Three individuals have been seen to nest together, and up to four individuals have been seen forming small loose groupings when foraging. Flat leafy nests used for daytime sleeping can be located in thick liana tangles 5-30 m off the ground. It may share a nest with a Mozambique Dwarf Galago ( G. granti ). After leaving the nest at dusk, most activity is spent in the forest understory (less than 3 m off the ground) and more than 15% of observations have been with other individuals. The Rondo Dwarf Galago has an extensive vocal repertoire. Loud calls are often mixed together to form other call structures, depending on the context. A study in the Rondo Forest found that 70% of calls analyzed were alarm calls, with only 22% species-specific advertisement calls (n = 647). The species-specific advertisement call is used to advertise presence and for group reassembly in the morning. The “double unit rolling call” is diagnostic.

A species from the Rondo Plateau, southeastern Tanzania. It was first identified as G. demidovii but later recognized as a distinct species based on differences in vocalizations and morphology. A museum specimen in the Frankfurt collection, originally from the Pugu Hills Forest Reserve (now Saadani National Park), is smaller than the typical Rondo Dwarf Galago. With a shortertail, a yellowish mid-facial stripe, unpigmented ears, and no eye-rings,it may represent a distinct subspecies. Monotypic.
