This research project will investigate the social                          organization of a population of Sanguinus mystax, or mustached                  tamarins, on Padre Isla in the Peruvian Amazon.  Tamarins have                  long been recognized as unusual primates due to a number of rare                sociosexual traits, such as the restriction of breeding to a                    single female, the tendency to bear twins, and the extensive                    participation of males in infant care.  Until recently, however,                little was known of their social behavior in the wild; all                      inferences of social organization were based on observations of                 captive animals.                                                                     During the course of fieldwork the reseracher will document                the composition of troops and analyze patterns of interindividual               interaction.  The student will then test the implications of                    parental investment theory with regard to group composition,                    mating systems and interindividual behavior.                                         Research on different primate species is informative with                  regard to the biological spects of the human experience.  Primate               studies provide a comparative context for investigating human                   origins.  Information on callitrichids is especially important                  since it provides information on male care of infants:  care-                   giving relationships between adult males and young represent a                  prfound difference between human and great ape social                           organization.
