“…In 40 captive mammalian populations belonging to 38 species, offspring from sibling matings had on average 33% lower survival than those from unrelated parents (Ralls et al 1988), which is still lower than the average decrease we found for Crepidula convexa (41.8%). The reported levels of inbreeding depression (δ) on survival for other animals, such as the mouse Mus musculus (Barnard & Fitzsimons 1989), the golden lion tamarin Leontopithecus rosalia (Dietz & Baker 1993), the collared flycatcher Ficedula albicollis (Kruuk et al 2002), and the spider Stegodyphus lineatus (Bilde et al 2005), range substantially from 0% (total survival) to 100% (total death of inbred offspring), with most reported values being below 30%, which is again lower than what we found for C. convexa.…”

“…Submissive behaviors were frequently displayed by subordinate females from UD only. These frequencies were significantly different from those of all other females (MANOVA F (1,20) = 4.408, P = 0.049; Tukey: UD dominant, P = 0.022; CD dominant, P = 0.0278; CD subordinate, P = 0.044 ( Figure 1B). An analysis of dominant and submissive behaviors during each of the three 5-week periods shows that the presence of an unrelated male, even temporary, had an influence on the females.…”

“…Such long-term competition for dominance may provide an explanation for reports regarding wild-C. jacchus groups that describe either two ovulating (32,33) or two breeding females (15)(16)(17)20). Contesting dominance may provide an alternative strategy for otherwise anovulatory subordinate females that remain in their native groups.…”

“…Some researchers (18,19) suggest that polygyny could be tolerated by dominant females when dominant and subordinate females give birth far apart, avoiding competition for food and for caregivers. It has been suggested (20) that polygyny in Leontopithecus rosalia groups may increase the dominant female's inclusive fitness, especially when mother and daughter are the primary and secondary reproductive females in the same group. Could there be different kinds of dominance relationships between callitrichid females that have different consequences for subordinate female fertility?…”

Dominance status among female marmosets is reflected in agonistic behavior and ovarian function. Socially dominant females receive submissive behavior from subordinates, while exhibiting normal ovulatory function. Subordinate females, however, receive agonistic behavior from dominants, while exhibiting reduced or absent ovulatory function. Such disparity in female fertility is not absolute, and groups with two breeding females have been described. The data reported here were obtained from 8 female-female pairs of captive female marmosets, each housed with a single unrelated male. Pairs were classified into two groups: "uncontested" dominance (UD) and "contested" dominance (CD), with 4 pairs each. Dominant females in UD pairs showed significantly higher frequencies (4.1) of agonism (piloerection, attack and chasing) than their subordinates (0.36), and agonistic behaviors were overall more frequently displayed by CD than by UD pairs. Subordinates in CD pairs exhibited more agonistic behavior (2.9) than subordinates in UD pairs (0.36), which displayed significantly more submissive (6.97) behaviors than their dominants (0.35). The data suggest that there is more than one kind of dominance relationship between female common marmosets. Assessment of progesterone levels showed that while subordinates in UD pairs appeared to be anovulatory, the degree of ovulatory disruption in subordinates of CD pairs was more varied and less complete. We suggest that such variation in female-female social dominance relationships and the associated variation in the degree and reliability of fertility suppression may explain variations of the reproductive condition of free-living groups of common marmosets.

“…Fruits, flowers, and seeds, as well as their insect prey, occur in widely distributed patches, and golden lion tamarins traverse a relatively large home range as they feed on these foods (ca. 36--48 ha: Dietz & Baker, 1993;Peres, 1989a). Moreover, these tamarins spend more time feeding on fruit in the center and periphery of their range than in intervening areas; thus their principle plant resources are relatively widely separated in space (Peres, 1989a).…”

Golden lion tamarins (Leontopithecus rosalia) and Wied's marmosets (Callithrix kuhli) exhibited adaptive differences in performance on several distinct memory tasks. On both an open-field analogue of a radial arm maze and a spatial delayed matching-to-sample task, the marmosets performed better than the tamarins after short (5-min) retention intervals, but only the tamarins continued to perform above chance after long (24-or 48-h) retention intervals. The marmosets also reqUired less training than the tamarins did to learn a color memory task, but again only the tamarins performed above chance when the retention interval was increased to 24 h. The results of these experiments are consistent with predictions based on knowledge of the feeding ecology of these species in the wild and raise the possibility that they possess different visuospatial memory abilities specialized for tracking the spatial and temporal distribution of their principal foods.
