The article discusses research by Sarah Zohdy and colleagues of the University of Helsinki in Finland investigating lemurs in Madagascar, which led to the discovery that parasitic lice provide clues to lemurs' social lives. The team tagged a species of lice specific to the brown mouse lemur, called Lemurpediculus verruculosus, and documented whether the lice switched hosts. The transfer of L. verruculosus correlated with lemurs' social lives.
