| effects of erythromycin and ciprofloxacin on chronic fecal excretion of campylobacter species in marmosets. | ciprofloxacin was compared with erythromycin for the eradication of campylobacter species that were chronically excreted in the stools of marmosets (saguinus labiatus labiatus, saguinus fuscicollis nigrifrons, and saguinus fuscicollis illigeri). stool cultures were negative within 48 h of the beginning of treatment with either agent. within 10 days after the end of therapy, however, campylobacter species were again isolated from the stools of six animals that had received erythromycin. during an ... | 1986 | 2940963 |
| body weights in mixed species troops of saguinus mystax mystax and saguinus fuscicollis nigrifrons in amazonian peru. | an investigation of body weights of members of mixed species troops of saguinus mystax mystax and saguinus fuscicollis nigrifrons was conducted at the rio blanco research station in northeastern peru. a total of 107 adult and subadult tamarin monkeys were trapped, measured, and released. data collected indicate that mean body weights for adult male and female moustached tamarins are 564 gm and 626 gm, respectively, whereas for adult saddle-back tamarins these values are 412 gm and 411 gm. subadu ... | 1986 | 3101505 |
| vocal divergence and discrimination of long calls in tamarins: a comparison of allopatric populations of saguinus fuscicollis nigrifrons and s. f. lagonotus. | divergence in vocalizations can reduce gene flow by serving as a premating barrier during secondary contact between previously isolated populations. in primates, vocal divergence in long calls of separated populations has been documented, yet recognition of these differences by the respective populations has seldom been studied in the field. to investigate this issue, we studied populations of two subspecies of saddle-back tamarins (saguinus fuscicollis nigrifrons and s. f. lagonotus) that are s ... | 2015 | 25759142 |
| field observation of snake-mobbing in a group of saddle-back tamarins, saguinus fuscicollis nigrifrons. | at the rio blanco in northeastern peru a group of 6 saddle-back tamarins was observed to mob two corallus enydris snakes which were hanging from a liana. these and other observations of snake-mobbing demonstrate that callitricids exhibit a special behaviour against potential predators, which is very similar to the mobbing displays of birds and other mammals. it is suggested that the adaptive significance of snake-mobbing in tamarins lies in the cultural transmission of information about potentia ... | 1987 | 3127313 |
