Social interaction with non-averse group-mates modifies a learned food aversion in single-and mixed-species groups of tamarins (Saguinus fuscicollis and S. labiatus)

Article Abstract:

An investigation explores whether an induced food aversion toward a preferred food is modified during and after social interaction with non-averse conspecifics or congeners. The social learning demonstrated might allow individual tamarins to track environmental change more efficiently than asocial learning alone.

Leaders of progressions in wild mixed-species troops of saddleback (Saguinus fuscicollis) and mustached tamarins (S.mystx), with emphasis on color vision

Article Abstract:

Mixed-species group leadership and individual leadership are quantified in saddleback (Saguinus fuscicollis) and mustached (Saguinus mystax) tamarin groups. Evidence suggests that males led saddleback tamarin groups more frequently than females, while mustached tamarins may be female-led.

Experimental field study of the relative costs and benefits to wild Tamarins (Saguinus imperator and S. Fuscicollis) of exploiting contestable food patches

Article Abstract:

The impact of social dominance and within patch foraging decisions on the costs and benefits to Tamarins residing in single- and mixed-species troops is presented. It is concluded that the foraging benefits to tamarins residing in mixed-species troops are asymmetrical.
