Genetic analysis reveals population structuring and a bottleneck in the black-faced lion tamarin (Leontopithecus caissara).
The ability of a population to evolve in a changing environment may be compromised by human-imposed barriers to gene flow. We investigated the population structure and the possible occurrence of a genetic bottleneck in two isolated populations of the black-faced lion tamarin (Leontopithecus caissara), a species with very reduced numbers (less than 400) in a very restricted range in the Atlantic...
متن کاملProgress and problems in Lion tamarin Leontopithecus rosalia rosalia reproduction
In 1972 a conference of biologists from diverse disciplines was held at Washington under the auspices of the Wild Animal Propagation Trust (WAPT), the National Zoological Park, and the New York Zoological Society. Its purpose was to review and summarise information pertinent to marmoset and tamarin biology. It was hoped also that the cross-fertilisation of ideas and knowledge would especially b...
متن کاملInformative microsatellites for genetic population studies of black-faced lion tamarins (Leontopithecus caissara)
Leontopithecus caissara is a critically endangered primate species from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Nineteen microsatellite loci, previously developed for congeneric species, were tested with 34 L. caissara individuals from Superagüi Island. Of the 19 loci, 17 (89.4%) produced robust alleles, nine (47.4%) of these proved to be polymorphic, with a total of 23 alleles and an average of 2.56 al...
متن کاملTHE BEHAVIOR AND CONSERVATION OF THE GOLDEN LION TAMARIN, Leontopithecus r. rosalia
The three forms of Leontopithecus are among the most $ endangered of Brazil's primate fauna. For the past 20 years Coimbra-Filho and colleagues have been working to ensure the survival of lion tamarins in their original habitat in the unique southeastern coastal forests of Brazil. Simultaneously, both Brazilian and international efforts have focused on the development of management techniques t...
متن کاملGroup structure, kinship, inbreeding risk and habitual female dispersal in plural-breeding mammals.
In most plural-breeding mammals, female group members are matrilineal relatives but, in a small number of species, all adult females are immigrants who are seldom closely related to each other. Some explanations of contrasts in female philopatry suggest that these differences are a consequence of variation in resource distribution and feeding competition, whereas others argue that they reflect ...
