Tamarins are small New World monkeys that have been described as “squirrellike.” Squirrels, along with bats and birds, are the taxa most likely to utilize resources similar to those used by primates in the tropical forest canopy. In this paper we compare differences in ecology, diet, locomotion, and habitat utilization between sympatric populations of tamarins ( Saguinus oedipus ) and tree squirrels ( Sciurus granatensis ) in Panama. Data presented indicate that although there is some degree of resource overlap, patterns of habitat utilization differ significantly. Rather than being “squirrellike,” the Panamanian tamarin exhibits a pattern of locomotor and feeding behavior consistent with that found in other arboreal primates
