Talk:Small-toothed sportive lemur

Is there any way I can get more information on this?
Does anyone know anyone know a website where I can get more information on this? I would love to study these Small-toothed Sportive Lemur. Oh, and by the way, is it Small-toothed or just Small Toothed? Thank you again, Wikipedia!

 * Since there is demand for the material, and since not much is known about this species, I will work on this article tonight... and possibly tomorrow, depending on how much I can get done. –  VisionHolder « talk » 22:37, 6 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Alright... here you go. There are only 2 articles I still need to get my hands on, but for now this should cover all the literature on the species. –  VisionHolder  « talk » 10:00, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Question
The conservation status section implies that some of the newly described Lepilemur species of the last few years were split off from this one, but the taxonomy section doesn't mention that. LoM p. 258 says sportive lemurs in the range of L. fleuretae were formerly thought to be L. microdon, but I guess the same may be true for other southeastern species (betsileo, jamesorum, wrightae).

 * Yeah, I was thinking about that around 4am last night. I'll try to look into it tonight.  And thanks for the copyedit.  I was hoping to proofread it at work, but never got around to it. –  VisionHolder  « talk » 22:37, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I've added the information. I found it in the appendices of the Louis 2006 paper.  I also just got my hands on the Porter paper, thanks to Dr. Porter.  That only leaves one paper that I don't have access to.  Despite how little is known about this species, do you think once it's polished at GAN it might merit a FAC run, or should I wait for more studies to be published?  This is probably the least studied (extant) species I've ever written about.  Most of the other new species are more obvious, and I'm almost wondering if I could write 2 or 3 of their articles in one night...  Needless to say, GAN-only there. –  VisionHolder  « talk » 03:41, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I think you should wait with FAC until you have all the sources. However, the article is longer than several of my FAs, so I don't think there should be a problem with sending it to FAC. Ucucha 14:16, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm only missing one source, which I may ask you to pick up the next time you're at the library sometime after you've settled back in from your trip. But we'll see—I'm still asking around and hoping one of the authors will reply. –  VisionHolder  « talk » 16:22, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

Conservation status
This lemur was considered to have a widespread distribution, but it now has a more restricted range. This forumulation makes me a bit confused. It compares former incorrect (?) views on distribution range with current actual range and draws the conclusion that the actual range changed. I think it intends to say that the range has probably been rather restricted for quite some time (decades?) but that we didn't know this until recently, with more detailed taxonomic knowledge. --Ettrig (talk) 16:29, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
 * You are correct. Feel free to be bold and word it in a way that you feel makes more sense.  Otherwise, I'll try to take a closer look later tonight. –  VisionHolder  « talk » 18:04, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I reworded the sentence. Ucucha 18:05, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Ucucha! –  VisionHolder  « talk » 19:29, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
