Territorial Polemics
Our recent paper Lledo-Ferrer et al. (International Journal of Primatology 32: 974-991, 2011) questioned the classic view of territoriality and chemical communication in wild callitrichids, saddleback tamarins (Saguinus fuscicollis). We suggested that rather than defending a territory or resources, chemical communication was more likely to be a way of exchanging reproductive information between groups. Roberts (International Journal of Primatolog…
The Effect of Infant Body Mass on Carrier Travel Speed in Cotton-top Tamarins (Saguinus oedipus)
The Effect of Crowding on the Social Behavior of the Cooperatively Breeding Cotton-Top Tamarins (Saguinus oedipus)
The Equivocal Relationship Between Territoriality and Scent Marking in Wild Saddleback Tamarins (Saguinus fuscicollis)
Researchers have often assumed that scent marking serves a territorial function in callitrichines, although some controversy exists. To fulfill such a function, scent marks should 1) prevent intrusions, 2) ensure access to feeding resources, 3) enable avoidance of intergroup encounters, or 4) play an important role in the aggressive encounters between groups. We studied 13 saddleback tamarins (Saguinus fuscicollis) belonging to 3 free-ranging gro…
Reconciliation in captive cotton‐top tamarins ( Saguinus oedipus ), a cooperative breeding primate
Reconciliation has been demonstrated in all primate species in which the phenomenon has been studied. However, reconciliation has been studied in only two species of callitrichids, and conclusions remain controversial. The first aim of this study has been to find out whether captive cotton‐top tamarins ( Saguinus oedipus ) reconcile, since this is the first such study on this species. We examined 227 conflicts in three family groups ( N =19). Ins…
Effect of the enclosure on carriers' body weight loss in the cotton‐top tamarin ( Saguinus oedipus )
Infant carrying in cotton‐top tamarins is a costly activity that results in weight loss by the fathers and helpers. However, to date, measures of carrying costs have been obtained in small indoor enclosures. We studied body weight changes in adult and subadult individuals from eight large groups (n>5) for 9 weeks after the birth of infants. Four groups were housed in large indoor/outdoor enclosures (42 m 2 ×3.3 m high), and four were housed in sm…
Why do cotton‐top tamarin female helpers carry infants? A preliminary study
Shortly after giving birth, cotton‐top tamarin mothers frequently attack the eldest female helpers [Snowdon et al., American Journal of Primatology 31:11–21, 1993]. Sometimes this aggression leads to the eviction of the eldest daughters from their natal groups 3–4 months after the birth of infants [Price & McGrew, Folia Primatologica 57:16–27, 1991]. We propose that daughters, during the act of carrying infants, may receive less aggression from m…
Mate choice differences according to sex and age
Group Composition and Adult Sex-ratio of Hamadryas Baboons (Papio hamadryas hamadryas) in Central Eritrea
Distribution and Habitat Associations of Baboons (Papio hamadryas) in Central Eritrea
Costs of infant‐carrying in the cotton‐top tamarin (Saguinus oedipus)
Infant-carrying behavior among callitrichids seems to be a costly activity. Costs have been related to the physical efforts of carrying the weight of very heavy infants and to the resulting reduction in foraging efficiency. However, the costs of carrying in terms of the physical consequences for carriers have not previously been assessed. In this study, we have regarded weight loss in infant carriers as a measure of costs. We studied five familie…
