Document Summary
Pe(cid:272)ies (cid:374)a(cid:373)e: calli(cid:373)i(cid:272)o goeldii (cid:894)= (cid:862)goeldi"s (cid:271)eautiful (cid:373)o(cid:374)keys(cid:863)(cid:895) The goal of this book is to present data from the first year-long study of callimico behavior and ecology in order to reassess its position in the callitrichid group from an ecological and evolutionary context. Also studied saddle-back tamarin and red-bellied tamarin. Callimicos live in the tropical rainforest of the western amazon basins. Found in manu national park in peru. Considered (cid:862)near threatened(cid:863) due to overall rarity & rapid destruction of forest throughout amazon basin. Callitrichids are distinctive from all other monkeys because they have claw-like nails (tegulae) on all digits except their hallux which has a flat nail, and they are small bodied. But resemble squirrel monkeys and capuchin monkeys in their teeth and litter size: small third molar (other callitrichids lost this, single offspring. Some suggest its own family, callimiconidae or own subfamily, callimiconinae.
