Maintenance of bone mass despite estrogen depletion in female common marmoset monkeys ( Callithrix jacchus )
Estrogen depletion leads to bone loss in almost all mammals with frequent regular ovarian cycles. However, subordinate adult female common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus) undergo socially induced anovulation and hypoestrogenism without clinically apparent adverse skeletal consequences. Thus, we speculated that this non human primate might have evolved a mechanism to avoid estrogen-depletion bone loss. To test this possibility, we performed three e…
Fetal, infant, adolescent and adult phenotypes of polycystic ovary syndrome in prenatally androgenized female rhesus monkeys
Old World monkeys provide naturally occurring and experimentally induced phenotypes closely resembling the highly prevalent polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in women. In particular, experimentally induced fetal androgen excess in female rhesus monkeys produces a comprehensive adult PCOS‐like phenotype that includes both reproductive and metabolic dysfunction found in PCOS women. Such a reliable experimental approach enables the use of the prenata…
Reproductive output, maternal age, and survivorship in captive common marmoset females ( Callithrix jacchus )
Common marmosets ( Callithrix jacchus ) demonstrate significant variation in reproductive output on both a yearly and lifetime basis in comparison to other anthropoid primates. We explore the factors that may be most important in determining reproductive variation in captive common marmosets. Studies have found that maternal age, maternal condition, and dam survivorship are related to reproductive output; however, these reports are not in agreeme…
Are subordinates always stressed? a comparative analysis of rank differences in cortisol levels among primates
Reproductive adaptations to a large‐brained fetus open a vulnerability to anovulation similar to polycystic ovary syndrome
During the ovarian or menstrual cycle, prior to ovulation, many female primates exhibit a relatively prolonged follicular phase and terminate the postovulatory luteal phase with menstrual bleeding. The prolonged follicular phase is a trait that distinguishes primate from nonprimate species. It enables extended estrogen‐induced proliferation and growth of the uterine endometrium prior to progesterone‐induced maturation during the luteal phase to a…
Midcycle and luteal elevations of follicle stimulating hormone in squirrel monkeys (Saimiri boliviensis) during the estrous cycle
Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) has fundamental importance in reproductive function, but its cyclic pattern has not previously been described in the squirrel monkey, due primarily to the lack of a suitable assay. An homologous radioimmunoassay (RIA) based on recombinant cynomolgus FSH measured changes in serum FSH relative to patterns of bioactive luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol, and progesterone during the estrous cycle. FSH was observed …
Urine collection in the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) and its applicability to endocrinological studies
Behavioral discrimination between circumgenital odor from peri‐ovulatory dominant and anovulatory female common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus)
Social peer groups of callitrichid monkeys [marmosets and tamarins] exhibit intrasexual dominance hierarchies in captivity. This laboratory study employed two-choice behavioral discrimination bioassys to test the hypothesis that scent from female common marmosets contains chemical cues that permit discrimination between dominant females in the peri-ovulatory versus luteal phase of the ovarian cycle and females holding dominant versus subordinate …

Social peer groups of callitrichid monkeys [marmosets and tamarins] exhibit intrasexual dominance hierarchies in captivity. This laboratory study employed two-choice behavioral discrimination bioassys to test the hypothesis that scent from female common marmosets contains chemical cues that permit discrimination between dominant females in the periovulatory versus luteal phase of the ovarian cycle and females holding dominant versus subordinate s…
Familial influences on ovulatory function in common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus)
Previous studies have indicated that many, but not all, female common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus) housed with their natal families undergo social suppression of ovulation. In this study, we further characterized ovulatory activity in common marmoset daughters to determine the prevalence of social suppression of ovulation and to elucidate familial influences on daughters' ovarian activity. Blood samples were collected twice weekly from each of …
Behavioral and social correlates of escape from suppression of ovulation in female common marmosets housed with the natal family
Although female common marmosets typically do not breed while housed with their natal families, up to half ovulate at least once while housed with the intact natal family, and a similar proportion conceive if an unrelated adult male is present in the group. In this study, we investigated the behavioral and social correlates of escape from suppression of ovulation by daughters housed in intact natal families or in families in which the father had …
Morphological changes of the ovary and hormonal changes through the ovarian cycle of the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus)
Circadian pattern of plasma melatonin concentrations in the marmoset monkey ( Callithrix jacchus )
This study describes the concentrations of melatonin in plasma samples taken from marmoset monkeys ( Callithrix jacchus ) every 4 h over three 24‐h periods. A circadian pattern of secretion was apparent, with higher levels recorded at night (20.00–08.00 h) than during the day (08.00–20.00 h) and a peak concentration at 20.00 h. There was a significant difference in the mean day and night concentrations (32.5 ± 4.5 pg/ml versus 49.0 ± 6.9 pg/ml, r…
The effect of social environment on estrogen excretion, scent marking, and sociosexual behavior in tamarins ( Saguinus oedipus )
The influence of various social environments on estrogen excretion, scent marking, and the expression of sociosexual behavior was examined in cotton‐top tamarins ( Sanguinus o. oedipus ). Behavioral observations and urine collections were conducted on five females while first housed in their natal family group or in the presence of another cycling adult female and then while housed with an unrelated adult male in a separate cage. Behavioral obser…
Behavioral and physiological suppression of fertility in subordinate marmoset monkeys
In laboratory groups of common marmosets ( Callithrix jacchus jacchus ), socially induced reproductive suppression among subordinates and offspring effectively maintained a monogamous breeding system. Male subordinates or male offspring were inhibited or restrained from showing sexual behavior, while similarly placed females could also suffer from complete ovarian failure. In well‐established families, a familiarity or inbreeding taboo restricted…
