A report from Japan suggests that male Ring-tailed lemurs used wrist 'pheromones' to attract females (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/apr/16/fruity-and-irresistible-male-lemurs-wrist-scent-seduces-the-girls). The odour appears very effective but I think it is a little premature to call it a pheromone (that implies it is a single chemical compound and is entirely unique to this species).
This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues. Using personal digital images, it's also intended to emphasise seasonal (and other) changes in natural history of the Swansea (South Wales) area. The material should help participants in field-based modules and people generally interested in the natural world. The views are wholly those of the author.
