Marmosets and Tamarins by Anthony B. Rylands
Systematics, Behaviour and Ecology
Presenting species accounts for all marmoset and tamarin monkeys, this book also reviews their geographical distributions and taxonomy. It then gives comparative reviews of vocalizations, scent-marking, mating systems, infant care and development, social organization, behaviour and ecology.Starting with concise species accounts for all the marmoset and tamarin monkeys, this book then goes on to review their geographical distributions and still-contested taxonomy, along with comparative reviews of vocalizations, scent-marking, mating systems, infant care and development, social organization, and behaviour and ecology in the wild. As several of these small primates are rare or threatened, these subjects are strongly relevant to their management in captivity as well as for understanding natural populations. This volume reviews current knowledge of this family, which comprises 52 species and subspecies found from Panama to northeastern Paraguay to southern Brazil. |
