In addition to habitat loss and hunting, cyclones create treefall gaps with unknown effects on arboreal species. We examined the effect of Cyclone Eliakim, which struck Masoala National Park in March 2018 with sustained wind speeds reaching 151\u2009km\/h. We assessed whether lemur densities and their microhabitat niches changed in relation to the cyclone, and whether their distributions were related to treefall gaps. We conducted 110.42\u2009km of transect walks for diurnal and 86.93\u2009km for nocturnal lemurs between 2017 and 2022 in Andranobe, Masoala National Park, a region regularly hit by cyclones. Microhabitat data were recorded for each observation, and distance to the nearest canopy gap was used as a measure of association with treefall gaps.

Species niche separation was strongest directly after the cyclone (suggesting intensified competition over limited resources) and relaxed progressively as the forest recovered. Gap size increased after the cyclone and decreased by 59.9% 4.5 years later, indicating progressive canopy closure. Large diurnal lemurs were positively associated with gaps &gt;\u2009150\u2009m\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    , likely reflecting increased food availability in sun\u2010exposed areas.

These data aid our understanding of species interactions and ecosystem dynamics under climate\u2010driven habitat change.\n
