Editing Pygmy mouse lemur (section)

== Mating ==
During mating season, male pygmy mouse lemurs have a home range that is much larger than the home range of females. It was found that males would typically roam long distances at night during mating season. Males also tend to be heavier than females during the mating season compared to the rest of the year. This indicates that the testes of male pygmy mouse lemurs would grow a significant amount during the mating season. There has also been evidence of male sperm competition, seen through sperm plugs in females which indicate the importance of prevention of additional matings in females.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Schwab |first=Dorothea |date=2000 |title=A preliminary study of spatial distribution and mating system of pygmy mouse lemurs (Microcebus cf myoxinus) |url=https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/(SICI)1098-2345(200005)51:1%3C41::AID-AJP4%3E3.0.CO;2-7 |journal=American Journal of Primatology|volume=51 |issue=1 |pages=41–60 |doi=10.1002/(SICI)1098-2345(200005)51:1<41::AID-AJP4>3.0.CO;2-7 |pmid=10811439 |via=Wiley}}</ref>
