Taxonomic review of the New World tamarins (Primates: Callitrichidae)
Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2016 Twelve generic names have been ascribed to the New World tamarins but all are currently placed in just one: Saguinus Hoffmannsegg, 1807. Based on geographical distributions, morphology, and pelage patterns and coloration, they have been divided into six ...

Joint function in marmosets and tamarins: Insights from computational modeling of hip extensor muscles. [PDF]
J AnatThis pilot study uses computational modeling to analyze five hip extensor muscles in four Callitrichidae species, aiming to identify adaptations to different leaping behaviors. Muscle topology was reconstructed from microCT scans to model instantaneous muscle moment arms and muscle strains during hip extension.

Mitogenomic phylogeny of Callithrix with special focus on human transferred taxa
BMC Genomics, 2021 Background Callithrix marmosets are a relatively young primate radiation, whose phylogeny is not yet fully resolved. These primates are naturally para- and allopatric, but three species with highly invasive potential have been introduced into the ...
