To be or Not to be Hybrids? A Case‐Study in an Allochthonous Population Involving Illegal Introductions of the Endangered Golden‐Headed and Golden Lion Tamarins
Allochthonous species can negatively impact biodiversity by introducing new pathogens, intensifying competition for resources, promoting habitat changes, and causing ecosystem disruption. Introduced species can also spread into areas designated for the conservation of native species. This colonization and, eventually, contact between historically isolated lineages can cause hybridization, resulting in decreased offspring fitness or, conversely, p…
Forest Cover and Altitude Are Key to the Occurrence of Black‐Fronted Titi Monkeys ( Callicebus nigrifrons ) in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest
Human activities are major threats to biodiversity, particularly for arboreal, forest‐specialist species such as platyrrhine primates. Habitat loss and declines in vegetation quality negatively affect species' persistence in disturbed and human‐modified landscapes. In this study, we evaluated the influence of landscape structure (forest cover and functional connectivity), vegetation quality and structure (EVI and canopy height), fire disturbance …
Should I store, or should I sync? The breeding strategy of two small Neotropical primates under predictable resource availability
Terrestrial Behavior in Titi Monkeys (Callicebus, Cheracebus, and Plecturocebus)
Estimating primate population densities
Accurate measures of animal population densities are essential to assess their status, demography, and answer ecological questions. Among several methods proposed to collect abundance data, line transect sampling is used the most. The assumptions required to obtain accurate density estimates through this method, however, are rarely met when studying primates. As most primate species are vocally active, density estimates can be improved by associa…
Sleeping above the enemy
The costs imposed by predation may result in behavioral adaptations to reduce mortality risk, including the choice and use of sleeping sites. The threat of predation, however, is rarely the sole force shaping sleeping site choice, which is likely to reflect other factors such as foraging needs as well. Here we describe the use of sleeping sites by three groups of small Neotropical monkeys, the black-fronted titi monkeys (Callicebus nigrifrons), a…
Playback responses of socially monogamous black‐fronted titi monkeys to simulated solitary and paired intruders
Many birds and primates use loud vocalizations to mediate agonistic interactions with conspecifics, either as solos by males or females, or as coordinated duets. The extensive variation in duet complexity, the contribution of each sex, and the context in which duets are produced suggest that duets may serve several functions, including territory and mate defense. Titi monkeys (Callicebus spp.) are believed to defend their home range via solo loud…
