Yves Rumpler (born 1938), is a French people, French researcher and primatologist. He was a professor of embryology and primatology at the Louis Pasteur University of Strasbourg until he retired in 2007. Career In 1959 Yves Rumpler was appointed assistant chief in the Institute of Embryology at the University of Strasbourg and until 1966 his research focused on traditional subjects studied at Strasbourg e.g. thyroid hormones, teratology. From 1966 to 1976, Yves Rumpler was an associate lecturer in histology and embryology at the National School of Medicine, Tananarive, Madagascar (now part of the University of Antananarivo). He undertook studies on the systematic and chromosomal evolution of the lemurs in Madagascar and is consequently recognized for his work in primatology.

French People
The French people (french: Français) are an ethnic group and nation primarily located in Western Europe that share a common French culture, history, and language, identified with the country of France. The French people, especially the native speakers of langues d'oïl from northern and central France, are primarily the descendants of Gauls (including the Belgae) and Romans (or Gallo-Romans, western European Celtic and Italic peoples), as well as Germanic peoples such as the Franks, the Visigoths, the Suebi and the Burgundians who settled in Gaul from east of the Rhine after the fall of the Roman Empire, as well as various later waves of lower-level irregular migration that have continued to the present day. The Norse also settled in Normandy in the 10th century and contributed significantly to the ancestry of the Normans. Furthermore, regional ethnic minorities also exist within France that have distinct lineages, languages and cultures such as Bretons in Brittany, Occi ...

Hôpital Civil, Strasbourg
The Hôpital civil de Strasbourg is one of the oldest medical establishments in France. Today it is a major component of the University Hospitals of Strasbourg, a teaching hospital that is the biggest employer in Alsace, with over 11,000 employees, ranking fourth in France in terms of quality. History The first hospital According to the 1143 charter of Bishop , preserved in the municipal archives of the city of Strasbourg, the hospital was founded in the year 1119, although another source refers to a hospital in 1105. The first building was located close to the cathedral, in the street that now bears its name (rue du vieil hôpital). A religious brotherhood, probably Augustinian, took care of the sick and destitute. Being a religious establishment, with a mission to care for the needy, the hospital turned nobody away. The Great Interregnum of the Holy Roman Empire, from 1254 to 1273, was a period of great instability in Alsace. The hospital gave asylum to a large influx o ...

Genus
Genus ( plural genera ) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classification, viruses. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family (taxonomy), family. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. ''Panthera leo'' (lion) and ''Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomy (biology), taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants ...

Lepilemur Sahamalaza
The Sahamalaza sportive lemur (''Lepilemur sahamalaza'') is a species of sportive lemur endemic to northern Madagascar. Taxonomy The sportive lemurs (Lepilemuridae) constitute a family with only a single genus, ''Lepilemur''. Relationships within this genus are not yet completely resolved, and genetic analyses continue to suggest reclassifications of current species. ''L. sahamalaza'' was split from '' L. dorsalis'' in 2006 after the latter taxon was found to be paraphyletic. The 2006 description of this species was considered invalid by ICZN standards, and it was formally described in 2017. In 2017, its name was changed from ''Lepilemur sahamalazensis'' to ''Lepilemur sahamalaza''. Description The Sahamalaza sportive lemur is nocturnal and therefore has large orange eyes are adapted for seeing in the dark. Individuals weigh , with females being up to heavier than males. Head-to-body length is approximately , and the tail is equally long. The color of the fur has elements of g ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lepilemur Randrianasoli
Randrianasolo's sportive lemur (''Lepilemur randrianasoloi''), or the Bemaraha sportive lemur, is a sportive lemur endemic to Madagascar. It has a total length of about , of which are tail. Randrianasolo's sportive lemur is found in western Madagascar. Originally named ''L. randriansoli'', the name was found to be incorrectly formed and was corrected to ''L. randrianasoloi'' in 2009. This species's original 2006 description was entirely online, and therefore did not meet the ICZN The International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) is a widely accepted convention in zoology that rules the formal scientific naming of organisms treated as animals. It is also informally known as the ICZN Code, for its publisher, the I ... standards to be a valid name. It was given a formal described in 2017.

Lepilemuridae
The sportive lemurs are the medium-sized primates that make up the family Lepilemuridae. The family consists of only one extant genus, ''Lepilemur''. They are closely related to the other lemurs and exclusively live on the island of Madagascar. For a time, this family was named Megaladapidae, but the current name was given precedence since the extinct genus ''Megaladapis'' was removed from the family. Etymology French zoologist Isidore Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire first described the genus ''Lepilemur'' in 1851, prefixing the existing genus ''Lemur'' with the Latin ''lepidus'' ("pleasant" or "pretty"). However, it was erroneously spelled—a mistake later authors unsuccessfully attempted to correct to ''Lepidolemur''. Members of the monogeneric family Lepilemuridae are referred to as either sportive or weasel lemurs. "Sportive lemur", which is more commonly used, was coined by Henry Ogg Forbes in 1894. Though he did not explain the name choice, he did mention the agility of ''Lepilemu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
