The ecological role of the callitrichidae: A review

American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1984
AbstractThe marmosets and tamarins fill a unique ecological role among the anthropoid primates, one that has not been fully recognized. Many misconceptions—that they are primitive, monogamous, territorial, and squirrellike—pervade the literature. These misconceptions are largely the result of misinterpreting laboratory studies which have not been ...

A new interpretation of the social organization and mating system of the Callitrichidae [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Primatology, 1987
Tamarins and marmosets are usually described as monogamous, or as living in extended family groups. Field research on a variety of callitrichid species shows, however, that immigration and emigration by adults are common and that groups are likely to be composed largely of unrelated adults of both sexes. Despite the number of adult females present in a

Proposed chromosomal phylogeny for the South American primates of the Callitrichidae family (Platyrrhini)

American Journal of Primatology, 1999
Cytogenetic and cytotaxonomic studies (G, C, sequential G/C, and NOR banding) were performed on 110 specimens representing the four genera of South American primates of the family Callitrichidae: Cebuella (C. pygmaea), Callithrix, groups argentata (C. argentata, C. emiliae, C. chrysoleuca, C. humeralifera, C. mauesi), and jacchus (C.

Veterinary Parasitology: Regional Studies and Reports
The present study reports the occurrence of Eutrombicula goeldii (Oudemans) (Trombidiformes: Trombiculidade) on free-living common marmosets, Callithrix jacchus, in Sergipe state, northeastern Brazil.

Stereology of the myocardium in two species of Callithrix (Callitrichidae, Primates)

Annals of Anatomy - Anatomischer Anzeiger, 1996
The majority of studies on cardiac morphology have concentrated on Old World monkeys. Ten marmoset hearts of the genus Callithrix were studied (5 hearts of C. jacchus and 5 of C. penicillata), dissected and fixed in a 10% buffered formaldehyde solution, pH 7.2. Unbiased stereological estimates were obtained from isotropic uniform random sections of the

Habitat and the evolution of social and reproductive behavior in callitrichidae

American Journal of Primatology, 1996
The numerous remarkable traits characterizing the ecology and behavior of callitrichids have inspired considerable research and discussion of the flexible mating system (cases of monogamy, polygyny, and polyandry), cooperative breeding, reproductive inhibition by dominant females, rapid reproductive rate, significance of dietary differences (gum ...

Tree‐gouging by marmosets (Primates: Callitrichidae) enhances tree turnover

Biotropica, 2020
We tested whether gouging by Callithrix jacchus affects tree survival. The proportion of dead gouged trees was higher than the proportion of dead non‐gouged trees, with larger effects on smaller trees.

Cranial and mandibular morphometry inLeontopithecuslesson, 1840 (Callitrichidae, Primates)

American Journal of Primatology, 1999
In this paper, we report on a craniometric analysis comparing the species of lion tamarins, Leontopithecus Lesson, 1840. Seventeen cranial and mandibular measures were taken on skulls of 59 adult crania: 20 L. rosalia (14 females and 6 males); 13 L. chrysomelas (6 females and 7 males); 23 L. chrysopygus (8 females and 15 males), and 3 L.

Callitrichids as phyletic dwarfs, and the place of the callitrichidae in platyrrhini

Primates, 1980
Cebuella, Callithrix, Leontopithecus, andSaguinus share five distinguishing features. All of these features are best interpreted as derived character states within Platyrrhini, and these animals are phyletic dwarfs. These derived traits may form a single complex that evolved as a result of dwarfing.

Reflections on Potential Risk Factors of Callitrichidae Run Over in an Urban Area: A Case Report of Marmoset Deaths

Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science, 2020
Interest in the well being of wild animals in their natural habitats is still lower than that of domesticated animals and captive wild animals. Urban development is one of the events that has the greatest impact on fauna, as it affects the survival and ...
