TL;DR
Field studies in Madagascar and Gaboon have shown that there are many ecological and behavioural similarities between Cheirogaleinae (mouse and dwarf lemurs) and Galaginaes (bush babies), which may reflect the retention of ancestral primate features.
Abstract
Field studies in Madagascar and Gaboon have shown that there are many ecological and behavioural similarities between Cheirogaleinae (mouse and dwarf lemurs) and Galaginae (bush babies), which may reflect the retention of ancestral primate features. If this is so, the relationships of lemurs and lorises in previous primate classifications will need to be revised.
