“…This affiliative behavior occurs throughout the day through specific request postures; social grooming represents 7% of the common marmoset total time budget (Stevenson and Poole, ). Interestingly, this behavior may also occur between closely related species, as in the case of the interactions between Callithrix jacchus and C. penicillata (Valença‐Silva et al, ). This example shows the possibility of a high degree of coexistence between two closely related species, mediated by communication.…”

Callithrix jacchus are small-bodied Neotropical primates popularly known as common marmosets. They are endemic to Northeast Brazil and occur in contrasting environments such as the humid Atlantic Forest and the dry scrub forest of the Caatinga. Common marmosets live in social groups, usually containing only one breeding pair. These primates have a parental care system in which individuals help by providing assistance to the infants even when they are not related to them. Free-ranging groups use relatively small home ranges (0.5-5 hectares) and have an omnivorous diet. Because of the shape of their teeth, they actively gouge tree bark to extract and consume exudates. When foraging for live prey, they adjust their strategy according to the type of prey. The successful use of appropriate hunting strategies depends not only on age but also on prey type and seems to be mediated by learning and experience. Indeed, common marmosets have shown unexpected cognitive abilities, such as true imitation. All these aspects seem to have contributed to the ecological success of this species. Callithrix jacchus has been widely studied, especially in captivity; even so, a number of questions remain to be answered about its biology, ecology, and behavior, both in captivity and the wild. A richer understanding of marmosets' natural behavior and ecology can have a significant impact on shaping ongoing and future neuroscience research. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…The lack of an influence of fragment size corroborates Oliveira ( 2012 ), who recorded the occurrence of C. aurita in fragments of different magnitude of size. Furthermore, considering the relationship between home range and resource availability (Oliveira, 2012 ), landscape supplementation may be occurring in smaller fragments (Pozo‐Montuy et al, 2013 ; Valença‐Silva et al, 2014 ). On the contrary, the ENN metric, despite being very usual, ignores landscape components, which may represent a simplification of the system and, therefore, omit landscape attributes that may be more associated with landscape connectivity for C. aurita (Hargis et al, 1998 ).…”

“…The relation between the number of articles and marmoset species also responds directly and indirectly to geographical distribution. Callithrix penicillata and C. jacchus, which have the largest geographical ranges of the genus (IUCN 2018), are common species (Oliveira and Pereira 2010) that may overlap their home range with private properties, and are habituated to human presence (Valença-Silva et al 2014). Hence, common and broadly distributed species have more chance to be studied than uncommon species or species with narrow geographical distribution (see, Fig.…”

Marmosets of the genus Callithrix are small-bodied platyrrhines, endemic to Brazil. In the last 30 years, there has been a constant interest in studying their biology, ecology and conservation. In this study, we compiled a systematic review to evaluate the trends and advances of marmoset research, from biodiversity and conservation perspectives. We searched for articles published in peer-reviewed journals within the main academic search engines, using the keywords “marmoset” OR “sagui” OR “Callithrix”. We found 68 published articles with a focus on biodiversity and conservation. The number of articles has increased over the years, most of them consisting of research from the Atlantic Forest biome. Callithrix penicillata (26 articles) and C. jacchus (21) were the most studied species. The number of studies was associated with the species’ geographical distribution. From a conservation perspective, the most threatened species showed the narrowest geographical distribution, a lower number of studies and, on average, a smaller protected area size. We concluded that trends and biases in biodiversity and conservation scientific literature of Callithrix are directly and indirectly associated with its geographical distribution. Species with wide geographical distribution are more studied, better known and protected. We highlight that the major effort of studies must be towards marmoset populations from the transition region of the Atlantic Forest-Cerrado and Caatinga biomes, and on threatened species within narrow geographical ranges.
