“…In comparison to other non-human primate experimental models, the C. jacchus has shown advantages such as lower breeding costs, easier handling, biosafety and physiological similarities [1,14,15]. This way, the interest in marmoset data has developed significantly lately [22], as shown by scientific citations increasing from less than 100 in 1960's to over 2700 in 1990's [1]. Actually, over than 2900 and 5200 scientific publications are found in PubMed and Scopus index, respectively, when searching "marmoset" as key word.…”

“…), titi monkey (Callicebus cupreus), and squirrel monkey (Saimiri sp.) because of their small body sizes, relatively early maturity, and low zoonotic risks (Tardif et al 2006). The different species of Saimiri have a differential susceptibility to pathogens and infections (Abee 2000), thus increasing the variance and obscuring the results of biomedical research, reinforcing the importance of a correct species identification of the specimens.…”

Morphological and Genetic Characterization of Saimiri boliviensis

The taxonomy of Saimiri is controversial because morphological characteristics, traditionally used for identification, are insufficient to distinguish species and subspecies. Genetic studies of specimens become relevant for captive management, especially considering their frequently unknown geographical origin. We analyzed phenotypic and genetic parameters in Saimiri spp. in Argentinean zoological gardens and biological stations to provide a more accurate taxonomic identification. We studied 27 males and 19 females of Saimiri spp. The cytogenetic analysis in mitotic metaphases corroborated a modal number of 2N=44, XX/XY, and FN=75 for males and FN=76 for females. G-and C-bands, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and the pelage coloration pattern of all the specimens corresponded to Saimiri boliviensis boliviensis. We characterized for the first time the sperm cell morphology and morphometry (mean±SE): total length: 71.39± 5.40 μm; head length: 5.71±0.81 μm; head width: 3.76±0.70 μm; acrosome length: 3.70±0.82 μm; midpiece length: 12.20±2.22 μm. Researchers can use the characterization of the sperm morphology as another parameter for taxonomic identification that, together with cytogenetic and molecular ones, would allow a more precise identification of individual Saimiri boliviensis boliviensis.

“…Animals were fed twice daily (08:30 and 13:30) a diet consisting of monkey chow, cottage cheese, marmoset jelly, apples, raisins, baby carrots, and vitamins. Further details of husbandry and training are available elsewhere (Tardif et al, 2006) with caging identical to that described in (Mendoza, 1999).…”

The neurobiology of social bonding, despite its relevance to human mental health, has been studied primarily in rodents. In this study we used position emission tomography (PET), registered with structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to investigate central glucose uptake in seventeen males of a monogamous primate species, the titi monkey (Callicebus cupreus). Twelve pair-bonded males (including six with a lesion of the prefrontal cortex) and five lone males were scanned. The five lone males were re-scanned 48 hours after pairing with a female. Significant differences in glucose uptake were found between males in long-term pair-bonds and lone males in areas including the nucleus accumbens, ventral pallidum, medial preoptic area, medial amygdala, and the supraoptic nucleus of the hypothalamus. In paired before and after comparisons, males showed significant changes following pairing in the right nucleus accumbens and ventral pallidum but not in other areas. Lesioned males showed significantly higher uptake in the posterior cingulate cortex than all other males. These results indicate some basic similarities between rodents and primates in the formation and maintenance of selective social bonds, but emphasize the importance of studying long-term maintenance in addition to short-term formation of social bonds.
