Responses to Scent Marks in a Wild Group of Leontocebus Weddelli
Olfaction is a key sensory modality in primate sexual communication; yet, studies examining scent marking behavior and its sex‐biased expression remain relatively rare. Furthermore, even fewer have examined the responses elicited by these markings. In this study, we investigated the response behaviors to scent marking in wild tamarins. We hypothesized that scent serves a sexual communication function to facilitate mate attraction and/or mate guar…
Integration of Spatially‐Explicit Behavioral Data and Drone‐Based Lidar Mapping Reveals Divergent Microhabitats in Sympatric Tamarins
Tamarins ( Saguinus spp., Leontocebus spp.) have been characterized as tolerating or even preferring secondary growth and anthropogenically disturbed areas, and as performing critical seed dispersal in these areas. To test the hypothesis that tamarins prefer secondary growth, we segregated animal presence records by behavior and then used niche modeling to quantify the suitability of various microhabitats for emperor tamarins ( Saguinus imperator…
Evaluating genital skin color as a putative sexual signal in wild saddleback ( Leontocebus weddelli ) and emperor ( Saguinus imperator ) tamarins
Coevolution between signalers and receivers has played a significant role in the diversity of animal signals and sensory systems. Platyrrhines (monkeys in the Americas) exhibit a remarkable color vision polymorphism that may have been selected by both natural and sexual selection, but sociosexual color signaling among platyrrhines has received almost no attention. Here, we study the color of reproductive skin among different reproductive classes …
On the trail of primate scent signals
Chemosignals are mediators of social interactions in mammals, providing con‐ and hetero‐specifics with information on fixed (e.g., species, sex, group, and individual identity) and variable (e.g., social, reproductive, and health status) features of the signaler. Yet, methodological difficulties of recording and quantifying odor signals, especially in field conditions, have hampered studies of natural systems. We present the first use of the Tori…
A multiyear survey of helminths from wild saddleback ( Leontocebus weddelli ) and emperor ( Saguinus imperator ) tamarins
The establishment of baseline data on parasites from wild primates is essential to understand how changes in habitat or climatic disturbances will impact parasite–host relationships. In nature, multiparasitic infections of primates usually fluctuate temporally and seasonally, implying that the acquisition of reliable data must occur over time. Individual parasite infection data from two wild populations of New World primates, the saddleback ( Leo…
