This paper describes a new genus of Amazonian marmosets, the dwarf marmoset Callibella, formerly identified as Callithrix humilis (Van Roosmalen et al., 1998), and reports its phylogenetic relationship to other callitrichines, based on 902 base pairs (bp) of the mitochondrial control region DNA sequence.

Respiratory Animal Models in the Common Marmoset (Callithrix jacchus)
Common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus) are small non-human primates (NHPs) that are often used for respiratory research. Translational animal models of various pulmonary diseases in marmosets have been developed in favor of models in old world monkeys ...

The Saguinus represent the basal genus of the Callitrichinae subfamily. Traditionally this genus is divided into three groups: Hairy, Mottled and Bare-face, however, molecular data failed to validate these groups as monophyletic units, as well as raised ...

A perspective on color vision in platyrrhine monkeys [PDF]
Studies carried out over the past two decades show that many platyrrhine (New World) monkeys have polymorphic color vision. This condition results from the sorting of allelic versions of X-chromosome cone opsin genes at a single gene site, yielding a ...

The pygmy marmoset (Callithrix pygmaea) is one of the most specialized Ecuadorian primate species. Its high specialization in habitat and diet, and the increase of human activities in the Amazon region may cause pygmy marmosets to go through ...

An investigation of ecological correlates with hand and foot morphology in callitrichid primates [PDF]
Studies of primate taxonomy and phylogeny often depend on comparisons of limb dimensions, yet there is little information on how morphology correlates and contributes to foraging strategies and ecology.

Influences on gum feeding in primates [PDF]
This chapter reviews the factors that may affect patterns of gum feeding by primates. These are then examined for mixed-species troops of saddleback (S. fuscicollis) and mustached (S. mystax) tamarins.

Vertical clinging and leaping induced evolutionary rate shifts in postcranial evolution of tamarins and marmosets (Primates, Callitrichidae) [PDF]
Background: Callitrichids comprise a diverse group of platyrrhine monkeys that are present across South and Central America. Their secondarily evolved small size and pointed claws allow them to cling to vertical trunks of a large diameter.

Fifty one anatomical specimens were dissected and the amplitudes of the trapeziometacarpal and metacacarpophalangeal joints of 33 were measured. These amplitudes were also measured on 26 animals asleep and many other animals were observed in relative ...
