Infant carrying in family groups of Goeldi?s monkeys (Callimico goeldii)

Analysis of infant carrying in large, well-established family groups of captive marmosets (Callithrix jacchus)

“…The common view that the father does more carrying than does the mother (as referred to, for example, in Mota et al 1995;Schradin and Anzenberger 2001;Tardif 1997;Van Elsacker et al 1992) is not upheld by our data but may be true for less-experienced or smaller families. In our families the mother did more carrying than the father for 14 days and the father subsequently did more than the mother.…”

Social dynamics and individual plasticity of infant care behavior in cooperatively breeding cotton‐top tamarins

“…The value of helpers and the effect of helpers on parental carrying vary between Callitrichine species and between studies. Siblings have been found to affect carrying of both parents (Callitrix kuhlii, Weid's black-tufted ear marmoset [Fite et al, 2005], Callimico goeldii, goeldi's monkey [Schradin & Anzenberger, 2001]), or to decrease maternal carrying only (S. oedipus, cotton-top tamarin [Ziegler et al, 1990], C. jacchus, common marmoset [Ingram, 1977]) or decrease paternal carrying only (S. oedipus: [McGrew, 1988;Price, 1992a;Tardif et al, 1990] C. jacchus [Garber & Leigh, 1997], L. rosalia, L. chryosomelas, L. chrysopygus, golden-lion tamarin, golden-headed lion tamarin, golden-rumped lion tamarin [Santos et al, 1997]), and finally in some studies, to not affect either maternal or paternal carrying (S. fuscicollis, saddleback tamarin [Epple, 1975]). However, varying definitions for ''helpers'' (e.g.…”

Different ovarian responses to potential mates underlie species-specific breeding strategies in common marmoset and Goeldi's monkey

“…A possible explanation therefore may be that cessation of ovarian activity occurs in newly paired Goeldi's monkey females to delay the onset of breeding, and during this delay the female can perform mate choice: for example, does the male remain in social proximity and does the male mate with other females. There would be selection pressure for such mate assessment in Goeldi's monkey, because although females are the main infant caregiver during the first few weeks, paternal care is important later in offspring development (Heltne et al, 1973;Jurke and Pryce, 1994;Schradin and Anzenberger, 2001). Supportive evidence for such female discrimination and control over pair formation is provided in the quartet study of Pryce et al (2002): females that became dominant and achieved reproductive success exhibited evidence of attracting and choosing between males, with male fidelity an apparent criterion for mate choice, leading to monogamous breeding pairs.…”
