“…In fact, several stud ies have documented that C. moloch males, compared to females, showed higher degrees of arousal and agitation as soon as the dyadic relationship was socially threatened [7, 8, 17, 27, this study]. Conversely, findings on fe males in the wild [7,8] as well as under lab oratory conditions [ 17] provided little if any indications for behavioural intervention (analogous to jealousy). But why were there female-female interactions through the clear screen at all?…”

“…From studies on freeliving titi monkeys [7], we know that mated individulas occasionally engage in sexual contacts with individuals other than their mates. Nevertheless, there are strong indica tions that males, at least, try to prevent such 'extramarital' copulations of their mates [7], This tendency was subsequently confirmed by an experimental study [17]. Furthermore, it has been shown experimentally that pairmates are highly attracted to each other [21] and form a strong emotional attachment [20], phenomena which are particularly evi dent in the presence of strangers.…”

“…This kind of experiment simulates the situation in which a third individual jeopardizes the social and/or spatial integrity of a monogamous dyad. Cubicciotti and Ma son [17], in a comparable study on C. mo loch, focused on the behaviour of males or females towards a like-sex stranger in rela tion to its distance from their own pairmates. The present study took a converse approach.…”

Aspects of a monogamous relationship can be inferred by observing reactions of mated individuals to unfamiliar conspecifics. The present study examined the behaviours shown by male and female titi monkeys (Callicebus moloch) toward an opposite-sex stranger, and the effect of their pairmate’s absence or presence on these encounters. Behaviours within unfamiliar heterosexual pairs showed superficial similarities to behaviours of mated pairs. Although there were few affiliative behaviours between unfamiliar individuals, animals were often in spatial proximity and even performed sexual behaviour. The visual presence of a pairmate clearly affected encounters between unfamiliar heterosexual pairs in several respects. The presence of a male pairmate had a much stronger influence on all behavioural measures compared to the presence of a female pairmate. Possible functional aspects of these results are discussed.

“…Males, in particular, have been observed to actively restrain their mate. 4,24,25 Adult titi monkeys also respond to young animals categorically. When presented with either their own offspring or an unfamiliar age-matched animal, titi monkeys respond to infants less than 6 months of age with greater elevations in heart rate than to juveniles 12-18 months of age.…”

“…In that study, heart rate was recorded with a non-invasive telemetry system, providing the opportunity to obtain quantitative access to one physiological correlate of the pair bond, coined ''emotional attachment.'' There was a follow-up study on the cardiophysiology of the pair bond of C. moloch (Cubicciotti and Mason 1978) but there is a complete lack of comparative data on other socially monogamous primate species. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate behavioral and, in parallel, cardiophysiological responses of mated individuals of common marmosets to confrontations with an opposite-sexed conspecific: First, in the presence of the familiar pairmate and second, in the absence of the familiar pairmate.…”

Common marmosets exhibit under captive conditions socially monogamous propensities. During confrontation with opposite-sexed stranger, in the presence of the pairmate, common marmosets often respond aggressively. However, in the absence of their mates, males actively solicit contact and even sexual interactions with strange females whereas mated females are indifferent to strange males. In the present study behavioral and cardiophysiological responses of pairmates of six established pairs of common marmosets were recorded during confrontation with an opposite-sexed stranger (1) in the presence or (2) in the absence of the familiar pairmate. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate as well as locomotor activity were recorded telemetrically through peritoneally implanted transmitters. Behavioral responses were videotaped and in addition, urine samples from the female individuals were analyzed for their estrogen concentrations to monitor their ovarian cycles. The cardiophysiological values did not differ significantly between the two confrontation conditions. However, compared to baseline, heart rate values of both sexes and in males also blood pressure values, were significantly higher during confrontations. Hence, confrontations with an opposite-sexed conspecific clearly affect cardiophysiological parameters. Between confrontees affiliative behaviors could not been recorded but aggressive and sexual behaviors occurred.
