ABSTRACT. The recently discovered Callithrix humeralifer intermedius occurs between the Rios Roosevelt and Aripuana in Brazil. This paper presents some preliminary observations of C. h. intermedius in the wild from May to November 1978. They occupy dense primary forest, second growth and low white sand forest. Group size is between 4 and 13, the larger groups comprised of more than one adult pair. One group, watched for 160.5 hr, occupied a home range of 13.75 ha, during this period, travelling between 740 and 1,500 m during the day. Principal foods include small fruits, flowers, tree exudates and insects. Groups were observed with one pair of newborn infants during September and October, at the end of the dry season. Observations of social behaviour (including agonistic behaviour, grooming, tail coiling behaviour and scent marking), development of young, vocalizations and potential predators are described.

“…There are no sex differences in pelage color or pattern, crown-to-rump measures, weight, or skeletal characteristics [Rosenberger & Coimbra-Filho, 1984;Hershkovitz 19771. Although subtle sex differences in patterns of behavior have been noted [Kleiman, 1977a;French & Inglett, 1989;Rathbun, 1979;Stribley et al, 19871, lion tamarins are also conspicuous for their lack of dimorphism in behavioral characteristics, a trait they share with other marmosets and tamarins [Kleiman, 1977bl. However, Hershkovitz [1977 reports that one of the few morphological differences between adult male and female lion tamarins is the elaboration of the median ventral laryngeal sac in males, and its reduction or absence in females.…”

Sex differences in vocal structure in a callitrichid primate, Leontopithecus rosalia

Four types of calls (long calls, chirps, chucks, and trills) from Golden Lion Tamarins (Leontopithecus rosalia) were analyzed for sex differences in structure. Six or more acoustic variables were analyzed for each call type. One or more variables from each call category differed significantly between the sexes. In addition, discriminant function analyses were conducted on male vs. female data for each call type. Long calls, chirps, and chucks from males and females were quite discriminable, but trills were not. That these differences exist is surprising given that callitrichid primates are otherwise quite monomorphic in structure and behavior. Possible functions served by sex differences in call structure include group censusing or assessing the sex of transient individuals.

“…Lion tamarins (genus Leontopithecus) are the largest members of the family Callitrichidae and are currently represented by four chromatic forms endemic to remaining fragments of the Atlantic coastal and semideciduous forests of southeastern Brazil. Most of the information available on this genus comes from studies of captive specimens, ranging from the descriptive analyses of food-sharing [Brown & Mack, 1978], scent-marking [Kleiman & Mack, 1977], and arch-displays [Rathbun, 1979] to theoretical investigations of parent-offspring conflict [Kleiman, 1979].…”

Foraging ecology and use of space in wild golden lion tamarins (Leontopithecus rosalia)

1997

In this paper we describe the use of space and feeding ecology of seven groups of golden lion tamarins observed for a total of 2,164 hr in Poço das Antas Reserve, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Relative to habitat availability in the home ranges of these groups, lion tamarins spent more time than expected in relatively undisturbed swamp forests and less time than expected in more degraded hillside and pasture habitats. Home range area was correlated with group biomass but not group size. Golden lion tamarins fed primarily on fruits and small animal prey, but relied heavily on floral nectar during seasonal periods of relatively low fruit availability. Compared to other New World monkeys, lion tamarins used larger home range areas and exhibited longer daily path lengths than would be predicted by group biomass alone. We suggest that this pattern of foraging and use of space may be explained by the relatively greater availability of cryptic prey and their microhabitats in forests that are flooded and/or have closed canopies than in forests that are in earlier stages of succession where prey may be more susceptible to desiccation during the dry season.
