[4] A study in Sainte Luce forest revealed home range varied from 2.2 to 3.5 ha and that males can have larger home range and cover longer daily distances than females (which can spend more time feeding), in agreement with the territory defence and mate guarding hypotheses.

Further studies are required to determine the exact distribution range and especially the limits with its sister species Peyrieras' woolly lemur (A.

[3] Avahi meridionalis eats leaves (and buds) and, much more rarely, flowers and appears not to base food choice on abundance.

a specialist, A. meridionalis acted as leaf eating generalists with moderate selectivity, based on nutritional quality and tolerance of a wide array of plant secondary metabolites.
