Summary

Lemur Scent Communication explores the fascinating world of how lemurs use scent markings to navigate their complex social lives. Scent communication isn't just rudimentary; it's a nuanced system conveying individual identity, social status, and reproductive condition. Delving into primate behavior and chemical ecology, the book reveals how scent plays a vital role in maintaining social cohesion and regulating reproductive success within lemur communities.

 
The book progresses from introducing lemur olfactory systems and scent secretion chemistry to exploring scent-marking behaviors and their function in establishing dominance and advertising reproductive status. Detailed analyses of scent mark chemical composition reveal how subtle variations convey specific information.

 
Understanding lemur scent communication is crucial for conservation, informing habitat management and mitigating human-wildlife conflict. The book synthesizes decades of research, incorporating new findings from field studies and laboratory analyses to offer a comprehensive view.

‘Next year I’m going to be 80 years old. My car will be 20 years old. Together we’ll be 100. We’re going to drive to Cairo.’ 
  
‘And what route are you going to take?’ 
  
‘I have no idea. I think I’ll keep to the right.’ 
  
When 80-year-old Julia Albu calls in to her favourite radio show with a zany, half-baked idea, she has no idea that it will lead her to the adventure of a lifetime. 
From helping push a 30-year-old Toyota bakkie up a precipitous mountain pass in Malawi to being ‘adopted’ by the riotous ex-pat South African community in Dar es Salaam and being fed mildly hallucinogenic ‘herbs’ by her Ethiopian driver-guide, nothing deterred 80-year-old Julia Albu from her quest to drive through Africa from the Cape to Cairo. 
	She and her 20-year-old Toyota Conquest, Tracy – a personality in her own right – travelled through 10 African countries, from South Africa to Egypt (and beyond). Julia was accompanied by a series of companions who added texture to her travels: three of her four grown-up children, her son-in-law, and at least one person who began as a complete stranger and ended up as a friend for life. 
	Reminiscing about her long and interesting life along the way, and maintaining a bright and upbeat outlook regardless of the circumstances, Julia proves that you’re never too old to tackle that bucket list.
