Validation of Body Condition Scoring as a Screening Test for Low Body Condition and Obesity in Common Marmosets ( Callithrix jacchus )
Assessing body weight is common practice for monitoring health in common marmosets ( Callithrix jacchus ). Body composition analysis via quantitative magnetic resonance (QMR) is a more in‐depth assessment allowing measurements of lean and fat mass, but it is expensive and remains unavailable to most. Alternatively, body condition scoring (BCS) is an instrument‐free method for visually inspecting and palpating lean and fat tissue. Animals are rate…
Oxytocin regulates reunion affiliation with a pairmate following social separation in marmosets
While separation from significant social partners produces a host of neurobiological and behavioral perturbations, including behavioral distress and increased glucocorticoid production, positive social interactions upon reunion are critical for the reestablishment of normative relationship dynamics and the attenuation of the biobehavioral stress response. The hormone oxytocin has critical and pervasive roles in reproductive and behavioral process…
Social Monogamy in Nonhuman Primates
Monogamy as a social system has been both a scientific puzzle and a sociocultural issue for decades. In this review, we examine social monogamy from a comparative perspective with a focus on primates, our closest genetic relatives. We break down monogamy into component elements, including pair-bonding and partner preference, mate guarding or jealousy, social attachment, and biparental care. Our survey of primates shows that not all features are p…
Behavioral responses to social separation stressor change across development and are dynamically related to HPA activity in marmosets
Psychosocial stressors activate two distinct stress-response systems, a central, behavioral response, and a peripheral, endocrine response. Both behavioral and endocrine responses to stressors are subject to individual and developmental variables, but it is not known whether stressor induced behaviors are stable across development, and how they correspond with changes in the endocrine component of the stress response. We characterized the develop…
Describing Ovarian Cycles, Pregnancy Characteristics, and the Use of Contraception in Female White‐Faced Marmosets, Callithrix geoffroyi
Endocrine data and characteristics of nonconceptive ovarian cycling and pregnancy are limited within the genus Callithrix to the common marmoset ( C. jacchus ) and Wied's black tufted‐ear marmoset ( C. kuhlii ). This article presents patterns of urinary pregnanediol‐3‐glucuronide (PdG) excretion, as determined by enzyme immunoassay, throughout the course of ovarian cycling and pregnancy in white‐faced marmosets ( C. geoffroyi ). Furthermore, char…
