“…Some patterns, although shown by both males and females, were performed more frequently by one sex. The tendency in common marmosets for males to groom females more than was recip rocated is a reversal of the grooming pattern of primates in general [Mitchell and Tokuna-ga, 1976], but it was consistent with obser vations on common marmosets [Rothe, 1974;Sutcliffe, 1980] and on other species of Callitrichidae [Kleinian, 1977b for L. r. rosalia;Omedes, 1981 for C. argentata;Coates and Poole, 1983 for Saguinus labiatus labiatus].…”

A total of 12 heterosexual pairs of marmosets were observed at different stages after pairing. Social behaviour (including contact, proximity and grooming) and sexual behaviour (mating and soliciting behaviour) were more frequently observed in recently formed pairs than in pairs that had been housed together for longer periods. Some behaviour patterns were performed more frequently by one sex and in general these sex-related differences were evident irrespective of the length of pairing. The performance of simultaneous piloerection and play appeared to be related to the reproductive state of the female. Males became more responsible for initiating contact during the latter part of the females’ pregnancy. Mating continued at low levels during pregnancy.

“…The onset of aggression was recognised by headshake-teethchatter [Coates & Poole, 1983] and confirmed by pilot observations. The agonistic behaviours that were recorded during an aggressive interaction were based upon pilot observations and the findings of Epple and Alveario [1985] on aggression in saddle-back tamarins (table 2).…”

“…In the event that aggression erupted 10 min before the scheduled MC observation or during an MC observation, data collection was postponed until the following observation day. Social behaviour categories recorded during the PC observations and MC observations (table 2) were based on pilot observations and another study of captive red-bellied tamarin behaviour [Coates & Poole, 1983].…”

Following the Rules: Why Small Groups of Tamarins Do Not Reconcile Conflicts

Reconciliation is the post-conflict friendly reunion between opponents. A series of conditions and rules in order for reconciliation to take place has been recently proposed. One critical condition is that the relationship between opponents must be disrupted. We tested this condition using post-conflict and matched-control observations on 4 small groups of tamarins (Saguinus labiatus). Our previous lack of evidence for reconciliation was confirmed. No post-conflict relationship damage was therefore expected. We found evidence that relationships were disturbed following conflicts over food but, as in other primates, no evidence for reconciliation following such conflicts was found. For non-food-related conflicts there was no evidence that relationships were disturbed, as opponents were in close proximity to each other and resumed the exact same activity as frequently in the post-conflict observations as they did in the matched-control observations. We conclude that ‘everyday’ aggression may not disrupt the relationships among individuals from the same family group and therefore reconciliation is not needed.

“…Among common squirrel monkeys (S. sciureus), infants climb up onto their mothers' backs directly after birth, and are rarely carried ventrally or cuddled against the mother's ventrum (Bowden et al 1967;Fragaszy et al 1991). Among lion tamarins (Leontopithecus rosalia; Hoage 1977) and tamarins (Saguinus fuscicollis and S. labiatus ;Epple 1975;Coates and Poole 1983), infants always cling to the carrier's dorsum except while nursing. Infant marmosets (Callithrix jacchus) are normally carried on the back (Welker and Schäfer-Witt 1987).…”

We surveyed the literature and obtained information from primate researchers and zookeepers to study the distribution of dorsal carriage among 77 simian species including New and Old World monkeys and apes in relation to arboreality and terrestriality, birth (litter) weight relative to maternal weight, and presence or absence of distinct natal coat colors. All New World monkeys are arboreal and commonly carry their infants dorsally. Conversely, arboreal Old World monkeys do not use dorsal carriage, and only some predominantly terrestrial Old World monkeys do so. Whereas lesser apes (which are highly arboreal) do not use dorsal carriage, arboreal as well as more terrestrial great apes commonly carry their infants dorsally. These findings indicate that simple arboreality or terrestriality is inadequate to explain dorsal carriage by monkeys. Infants of small- to medium-sized New World monkeys have relatively high birth weight compared with maternal weight, and are most likely to be carried dorsally than ventrally even on the first postnatal day. In contrast, infants of large-bodied New World monkeys are carried ventrally first and then dorsally up to the end of their second year, albeit increasingly infrequently. Among Old World monkeys, no association was found between mode of infant transport and birth weight relative to maternal weight, but some terrestrial Old World monkeys displaying dorsal carriage tend to do so with older infants, indicating that such behavior enables the mother to transport the infant with lower energy expenditure. Among terrestrial Old World monkeys, infants with distinctive natal coat colors are rarely carried dorsally until the natal coat color changes to adult coloration: infants with distinctive coat colors clinging to the backs of carriers could be highly visible and thus vulnerable to predation. Dorsal carriage by mothers may prolong the affiliative mother-infant relationship.
