Use of ultrasound to monitor prenatal growth and development in the common marmoset ( Callithrix jacchus )
The increasing use of non‐human primates to study fetal development and neonatal management has necessitated the availability of fetuses of known gestational history. In this study, prenatal development and growth were investigated in the common marmoset ( Callithrix jacchus ) using ultrasound. The objectives of this study were: (1) to determine the accuracy of ultrasound for monitoring prenatal growth and development in common marmosets, (2) to …
Infant‐care behavior of mothers and fathers in a communal‐care primate, the cotton‐top tamarin ( Saguinus oedipus )
Infant care behavior was examined for 35 litters of 23 different groups of captive cotton‐top tamarins. The behavior of mothers and fathers was compared to determine the effects of infant number and helper presence on each parent and to determine whether parents differed in responsiveness to infants. For young infants (1–4 weeks), the contribution of fathers to infant carrying was negatively correlated with helpers' contribution; as helpers carri…
Breeding performance of captive‐born cotton‐top tamarin ( Saguinus oedipus ) females
Successful breeding by captive‐born Saguinus oedipus females has now been reported from several colonies, but a marked parity effect (ie, differences in infant survival with the number of litters produced) is usually observed; survival of infants of primiparous females is extremely low but increases with subsequent litters. This parity effect was not observed in the captive‐born breeding females in the Oak Ridge Associated Universities colony, wi…
Comparison of infant care in family groups of the common marmoset ( Callithrix jacchus ) and the cotton‐top tamarin ( Saguinus oedipus )
The involvement of parents and siblings in infant care in similarly composed groups of common marmosets ( Callithrix jacchus ) and cotton‐top tamarins ( Saguinus oedipus ) was compared during the infants' first 8 weeks of life. The results indicate an earlier infant independence in C. jacchus than in S. oedipus due primarily to a more frequent rejection of carried infants in C. jacchus . There was no species difference in extent of maternal invol…
Effects of sibling‐rearing experience on future reproductive success in two species of callitrichidae
The survival rate for offspring of mothers who either had or did not have previous experience rearing younger siblings was compared in two callitrichid species, Callithrix jacchus and Saguinus oedipus . Offspring of mothers with sibling‐rearing experience had a higher survival percentage than offspring of inexperienced mothers in both species. While 50–60% of offspring of inexperienced C. jacchus mothers survived, no offspring of inexperienced S.…
