A comparison of rectal and oral cultivable microbiota in wild and captive black lion tamarins (Leontopithecus chrysopygus, Mikan 1823).

The black lion tamarin (Leontopithecus chrysopygus) is an endangered primate species, restricted to the Atlantic Forest fragments of São Paulo state, Brazil, with an estimated wild population of ~1600 individuals. Integrative studies between zoo (ex situ) and wild (in situ) animals are crucial to modern conservation programs. They can demonstrate a substantial impact with the One Health concept, an interdisciplinary research frontier regarding the relations between human, animal, and environmental health. Studies of wild populations of Leontopithecus spp. are scarce and should be encouraged to provide baseline information to develop preventive and curative medicine in zoos and other conservation programs. Studying these animals in the wild can offer important reference parameters for the species. Comparing bacterial communities between in situ and ex situ populations can help us understand both conditions and the dynamics of potentially pathogenic microorganisms. To increase our understanding of resident microorganisms among these groups, we collected oral and rectal samples from captive (zoo) and wild black lion tamarins. We employed a culture method for the identification of aerobic bacteria. Thirty-three specimens were sampled (24 zoo and 8 wild animals) and 18 bacterial genera were identified. We found primarily Gram-positive bacteria in wild animals, whereas in zoo animals, Gram-negative bacteria were dominant. Some of the bacterial species we identified are potentially pathogenic, whereas several others are being reported here for the first time in this host species. Our results reinforce the importance of integrative studies for the future management and conservation of this endangered primate species.

Epidemiological, clinical and pathological aspects of lethal acanthocephalosis in captive neotropical primates.

BACKGROUND: Acanthocephalosis is an important cause of death in captive New World primates (NWP). Once established in a colony, it is extremely difficult to treat and control, quickly spreading among NWP with a high mortality rate. This study aimed to characterize the disease associated with infection with acanthocephalans according to its epidemiological, clinical, and anatomopathological aspects in a captive NWP population. METHODS: From 2010 to 2020, a Brazilian zoo had recurrent deaths of NWP associated to acanthocephalan parasitism. Clinical and pathological profiles of these animals were analyzed considering the host species, sex, age, weight, clinical signs, therapeutic protocols, and pathological findings. RESULTS: A total of 27 deaths associated with acanthocephalosis were recorded, all lethal cases affected tamarins and lion tamarins, corresponding to 67.5% of total deaths during the course of this study. Ten animals died with no previously detected clinical signs, whereas cases with noticeable clinical signs often had apathy and progressive weight loss, resulting in cachexia. Symptomatic NWP were treated with anthelmintic protocols, antibiotics, and support therapy. However, all hospitalized animals died and had grossly detectable adult acanthocephalans in the intestinal lumen that were identified as Prosthenorchis sp., which were associated with transmural and ulcerative enteritis. CONCLUSIONS: This report revealed the impact of acanthocephalosis in a naturally infected captive colony of NWP, particularly affecting tamarins (Saguinus spp.) and lion tamarins (Leontopithecus spp.), with failed treatment and control strategies.

On the way to systematize habituation: a protocol to minimize the effects of observer presence on wild groups of Leontocebus lagonotus.

Habituation is used in most field research with primates to minimize observer effects on their behavior. Despite its importance, there is little published on the methods used to habituate different taxa of primates or how these methods vary in different habitat types. We assessed changes in behavior and space use of two groups of Leontocebus lagonotus in the Ecuadorian Amazon in order to document this process. Although the subjects had not been studied before, visitors and researchers were more frequently in the home range of Group 1 than of Group 2. We followed both groups for 2 months, collecting behavioral data through scan sampling and recording the use of space (ground, understory, subcanopy, and canopy) and the routes along which we followed the groups. We then divided our data into two equivalent stages, randomized the data for each stage and looked for significant differences using Wilcoxon tests. Our results show a significant decrease in submissive behaviors toward the observer for both groups and a significant increase in resting and foraging for Group 1. In addition, Group 2 used the subcanopy significantly less and the understory more during the second stage. The routes the animals used were significantly longer in the second stage for Group 1, but not for Group 2. We conclude that our methodology is adequate to advance in the habituation of L. lagonotus in less than 2 months and that a group will habituate more quickly if it has had some previous neutral exposure to humans.

Intergroup food transfers in wild golden lion tamarins (Leontopithecus rosalia).

The transfer of food between adults is uncommon in primates. Although golden lion tamarins (Leontopithecus rosalia) are unique among primates in the extent to which they transfer food, reports of food transfers between adults have so far been restricted to captive or reintroduced individuals. Here, I report the first recorded events of adult-adult food transfers in golden lion tamarins between individuals belonging to different groups in the wild. Given that individuals emigrate from their natal group to find reproductive opportunities, I suggest that intergroup food transfers could be a way for individuals to estimate the quality or availability of potential mates or social partners. I propose an additional function of food transfers in wild golden lion tamarins: that they create and strengthen social bonds with individuals outside of the family group.

Abdominal ultrasound in Saguinus ursulus.

BACKGROUND: The classification of Saguinus ursulus as a new taxon and the vulnerability of this species highlighted the need for data on its specific morphophysiological attributes. This study used ultrasound to determine the typical characteristics of pelvic-abdominal structures and organs. METHODS: Nine healthy primates of the species S. ursulus were evaluated, through ultrasound tests, to determine the morphometry of the organs of the pelvic-abdominal cavity and the levels of ovarian activity. RESULTS: Topography, morphology, and biometrics of the organs were described. It was observed that organs of S. ursulus are similar to those of other Neotropical primate species. However, the kidney morphology is different,the left is triangular and the right is elliptical, while the gallbladder is bilobed. CONCLUSION: Ultrasonography has proven to be efficient and effective for organ evaluation. The ultrasound findings are a first step toward understanding the physiology of a less-known species.

Population Genetic Structure of an Endangered Endemic Primate (Leontopithecus chrysomelas) in a Highly Fragmented Atlantic Coastal Rain Forest.

This study evaluated the genetic structure of wild populations of the endangered primate, Leontopithecus chrysomelas. We tested the assumption that populations of L. chrysomelas, given their larger population size and a higher degree of habitat continuity, would have higher genetic diversity and less genetic structuring than other lion tamarins. We used 11 microsatellites and 122 hair samples from different locations to assess their genetic diversity and genetic structure, and to make inferences about the isolation by distance. The overall expected heterozygosity (0.51 ± 0.03) and the average number of alleles (3.6 ± 0.2) were relatively low, as is the case in other endangered lion tamarins. Genetic clustering analyses indicated two main clusters, whereas the statistical analyses based on genotype similarities and Fst suggested further substructure. A Mantel test showed that only 34% of this genetic differentiation was explained by the linear distance. In addition to linear distance, structural differences in the landscape, physical barriers and behavioural factors may be causing significant genetic structuring. Overall, this study suggests that these populations have a relatively low genetic diversity and a relatively high population genetic structure, putting in question whether the presence of agroforest systems (known locally as cabruca) is enough to fully re-establish functional landscape connectivity.

Next-Generation Sequencing of the Complete Mitochondrial Genome of the Endangered Species Black Lion Tamarin Leontopithecus chrysopygus (Primates) and Mitogenomic Phylogeny Focusing on the Callitrichidae Family.

We describe the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the Black Lion Tamarin, an endangered primate species endemic to the Atlantic Rainforest of Brazil. We assembled the Leontopithecus chrysopygus mitogenome, through analysis of 523M base pairs (bp) of short reads produced by next-generation sequencing (NGS) on the Illumina Platform, and investigated the presence of nuclear mitochondrial pseudogenes and heteroplasmic sites. Additionally, we conducted phylogenetic analyses using all complete mitogenomes available for primates until June 2017. The single circular mitogenome of BLT showed organization and arrangement that are typical for other vertebrate species, with a total of 16618 bp, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 1 non-coding region (D-loop region). Our full phylogenetic tree is based on the most comprehensive mitogenomic dataset for Callitrichidae species to date, adding new data for the Leontopithecus genus, and discussing previous studies performed on primates. Moreover, the mitochondrial genome reported here consists of a robust mitogenome with 3000X coverage, which certainly will be useful for further phylogenetic and evolutionary analyses of Callitrichidae and higher taxa.

Ultrasonographic aspects of the Leontopithecus gestation (Lesson, 1840-Callitrichidae, Primates).

BACKGROUND: There is a concern about conservation of endangered species today. Among this species, the Leontopithecus (Lesson, 1840) is outstanding. Its population has been whirling reduced. So far the reproductive physiology of Leontopithecus has few studies, it is fundamental requisite to preserve this species. Obstetric sonography has become an essential method in reproductive management of primates. METHOD: This method is very helpful to detect early pregnancy and evaluate some deficiency of fetal growth. In this study, 14 pregnancies were monitored using real-time abdominal sonography. During each evaluation, the number of fetus was recorded, gestational sac and heart beats were observed, and biparietal diameter was measured. RESULTS: The results showed that abdominal sonography is a reliable method for observation of gross morphological changes during pre-natal development and to estimate gestational age. No statistically differences were observed between twins and singletons. This study is the first investigation of pre-natal growth in Leontopithecus.

Nasal, oral and rectal microbiota of Black lion tamarins (Leontopithecus chrysopygus)

Black lion tamarins (Leontopithecus chrysopygus) are endangered callithrichids. Their conservation may require future translocations or reintroductions; however these approaches involve risks of pathogen introduction in the environment and stress-related opportunistic infections in these animals. In order to screen for opportunistic and potential pathogenic bacterial and fungal microbiota, ten free-ranging and ten captive Black lion tamarins were studied and the results compared. Nasal, oral and rectal swabs were collected and cultured for aerobic and facultative anaerobic bacteria and fungi, and a total 203 bacterial and 84 fungal isolates were obtained. Overall, the most frequent organisms were Staphylococcus spp., Bacillus spp., Candida spp. and Aspergillus spp. Microbiota of free-ranging and captive animals were similar in composition. A number of potentially pathogenic organisms were identified, emphasizing the importance of microbiological screening in future translocation or reintroduction conservation management programs.

Informative 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 alleles per locus. Expected and observed heterozygosity averaged 0.483 and 0.561, respectively. The exclusion power for identifying the first parent of an arbitrary offspring was 0.315 over all loci. The results thus indicate both the usefulness and limitations of these nine microsatellite loci in the genetic analysis of L. caissara, as well as their potentiality for genetic investigation in other congeneric species.

Behavior of tamarins, tanagers and manakins foraging in a strangler fig (Ficus sp.) in Suriname, South America: implications for seed dispersal / Comportamiento de los tamarins, de los tanagers y de los manakins forrajeando en un higo del estrangulador (Ficus sp.) en Suriname, Suramérica: implicaciones para la dispersión de semilla

The behavior of foragers can directly affect the dispersal of seeds. Strangler figs are keystone resources throughout the tropics and are important resources for both primates and birds. We examined the foraging behavior of golden-handed tamarins and four bird species in a strangler fig to see how these behaviors might affect the dispersal of fig seeds. Tamarins removed fruit at a faster rate than did any of the bird species examined. Additionally, tamarins tended to swallow figs whole whereas birds tended to drop figs once they were processed. Tamarins visiting fig trees ingest large quantities of fig seeds that may be deposited throughout the forest. Birds on the other hand tended to slowly process fruits near the fig tree and drop processed fruit containing large quantities of seeds. Future studies need to be conducted to ascertain differences in post dispersal seed fate.

El comportamiento de foragers puede afectar directamente la dispersión de semillas. Los higos del estrangulador son recursos trapezoidales a través de las zonas tropicales y son recursos importantes para los primates y los pájaros. Examinamos el comportamiento del forraje de tamarins de oro-dados y cuatro especies del pájaro en un higo del estrangulador para ver cómo estos comportamientos pudieron afectar la dispersión de las semillas del higo. Fruta quitada Tamarins en una tarifa más rápida que la especie ua de los del pájaro examinada. Además, los tamarins tendieron para tragar los higos enteros mientras que los pájaros tendieron para caer los higos que fueron procesados una vez. Los árboles de higo de Tamarins que visitan injieren cantidades grandes de semillas del higo que se puedan depositar a través del bosque. Los pájaros por otra parte tendieron para procesar lentamente las frutas cerca del árbol de higo y la gota procesó la fruta que contenía cantidades grandes de semillas. Los estudios futuros necesitan ser conducidos para comprobar diferencias en sino de la semilla de la dispersión del poste.

Estudaram-se achados de necropsia de 454 espécimens de Leontopithecus. Quatorze (3,1 por cento) apresentaram-se infectados por acantocéfalos intestinais identificados como Prosthenorchis elegans (Diesing, 1861). Não foram observadas diferenças na ocorrência do parasito quanto à espécie, origem - cativos ou selvagens - e sexo. Clinicamente os animais apresentaram-se com o pelame eriçado, apatia, inapetência, dores abdominais e diarréia. Em dois animais parasitados (14,2 por cento), observou-se perfuração da parede intestinal. As lesões encontradas caracterizaram-se por uma grave enterite ulcerativa. A ocorrência desses parasitos reforça a necessidade do estabelecimento de protocolos sanitários rígidos no manejo das espécies de primatas do neotrópico(AU)

This study assessed the autopsy findings of 454 Leontopithecus specimens, 14 of which (3.1 percent) were infected by intestinal Acanthocephala identified as Prosthenorchis elegans (Diesing, 1861). No difference in the occurrence of the parasite was observed regarding the species, origin (captive or wild) and sex of the lion tamarins. Clinically, the animals had spiked coat, apathy, inappetence, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Two of the parasitized animals (14.2 percent) had perforation of the intestinal wall. The lesions found were characterized as a severe ulcerative enteritis. The occurrence of such parasites highlights the need for establishing strict sanitary protocols for the management of the neotropical primate species(AU)

The structure of the liver of captive lion-tamarins (Callithrichidae, Primates): a stereologic approach / A estrutura do fígado de micos-leões de cativeiro (Callithrichidae, Primates): uma abordagem estereológica

Studies on liver morphology and stereology are relevant to thecomparative anatomical and pathological research. They also facilitatethe use of nonhuman primates in basic research, which has substantiallysupported studies in human medicine. Quantitative studies of liverstructures have also been more extensive in Old World primates andother vertebrates. Twenty-three livers of adult lion tamarins were studied(06 Leontopithecus rosalia, 07 Leontopithecus chrysomelas, and 10Leontopithecus chrysopygus), dissected, and fixed in 10% neutral bufferedformalin solution. For stereological quantification, the liver was regardedas consisting of parenchyma (hepatocytes) and stroma (nonhepatocytes).The stereologic parameter volume density (Vv) was determined by pointcounting, using M42 test-system. Hepatic stereological differencesamong the three species of lion tamarins were not statistically significant.Therefore, the pooled VV [hepatocyte] and Vv [stroma] could be determined as96.2% and 7.4%, respectively. Significantly different, the values foundfor VV [hepatocyte] in lion tamarins were 0.09 times greater than those inbaboons, and 0.17 in man. However, the Vv [stroma] was 1.04 timessmaller than that in baboons and 1.79 times smaller than that in man.The differences found among the rates studied, even if not provenstatistically, point out to the need for further studies to correlate themorphological and physiological features of those tamarins.

Estudos sobre a morfologia e estereologia hepática são relevantes em pesquisa de anatomia e patologia comparada. Estes também facilitam o uso de primatas não-humanos como modelos experimentais em pesquisa básica, fato que tem auxiliado os estudos em medicina humana. Estudos quantitativos de estruturas hepáticas também têm sido mais prevalentes em Primatas do Velho Mundo e outros vertebrados. Foram estudados vinte e três fígados de micos-leões adultos, sendo : 06 Leontopithecus rosalia, 07 Leontopithecus chrysomelas e 10 Leontopithecus chrysopygus, os quais foram dissecados e fixados com formol tamponado a 10%. Para a quantificação estereológica, o fígado foi considerado como consistindo de parênquima (hepatócitos) e estroma (não-hepatócitos). O parâmetro estereológico densidade de volume (Vv) foi determinado por contagem de pontos, utilizando-se do sistema teste M42. As diferenças estereológicas hepáticas entre as três espécies de micos-leões não foram estatisticamente significativas. Portanto, um valor único de V V [hepatócito] e Vv [estroma] podem ser determinados como 96, 2% e 7,4%, respectivamente. Significantemente diferente, os valores encontrados para o V V [hepatócito] em micos-leões foram 0,09 vez maior do que em babuínos, e 0,17 em humanos. Contudo, o Vv [estroma] foi 1,04 vez menor do que o de babuínos e 1,79 vez menor do que o de humanos. As diferenças encontradas entre as proporções estudadas, mesmo que não comprovadas estatisticamente, mostram a necessidade de estudos futuros para correlacionar os aspectos morfo-fisiológicos destes micos.

Alterações orais em três espécies de Leontopithecus mantidas em cativeiro (Callitrichidae, Primates) / Dental changes in three species of Leontopithecus maintained in captivity (Callitrichidae, Primates)

Foram estudadas as alterações orais que ocorrem em primatas não humanos, cativos, do gênero Leontopithecus, suas diferenças entre espécies, suas freqüências e a influência do cativeiro. Sessenta crânios de Leontopithecus, do acervo do Museu Primatológico do Centro de Primatologia do Rio de Janeiro (CPRJ-FEEMA), foram examinados. O teste do x² foi utilizado para avaliar as diferenças nas incidências das alterações orais e o coeficiente de correlação de Pearson para o estudo da correlação entre o número de alterações e o tempo de cativeiro dos animais. Entre as três espécies estudadas, L. chrysomelas, L. rosalia e L. chrysopygus, as diferenças nas alterações orais foram estatisticamente significativas para cáries, crazing, doença pulpar e maloclusão. O complexo canino-incisivo foi mais afetado do que a série molar. A incidência de alterações orais aumentou à medida que aumentou o tempo de cativeiro dos micos e diferiu nas três espécies de Leontopithecus estudadas, sendo L. chrysopygusi a mais suscetível.

The dental changes occurring in captive non-human primates of the genus Leontopíthecus and its differences among three species, L. chrysomelas, L. rosalía and L. chrysopygus, regarding frequency and captivity influence, were studied. Sixty skulls of the Leontopíthecus, trom the collection of the Museum of Centro de Primatologia do Rio de Janeiro (CPRJ-FEEMA) were examined. The x² test was used to evaluate the differences between incidence of changes observed and Pearson's coefficient of correlation to evaluate the number of changes observed and the time of captivity. The differences among the three species were significant for caries, crazing, pulpar disease and malocclusion. The complex canine-incisors were more affected than the molars. The incidence of oral changes was high in animais maintained more time in captivity conditions and was different in the three species of the Leontopíthecus studied; L. chrysopygus was the most susceptible.

Esterase D in Brazilian Saguinus midas niger-results and comparison with previous studies in Anthropoidea.

Four esterase D (ESD) phenotypes, presumably resulting from the segregation of three alleles with moderate polymorphic frequencies, were observed in a sample of the black handed tamarin, Saguinus midas niger, from the northern Amazonian region (Brazil). Previous surveys in the non-human Anthropoidea indicate that the ESD locus is polymorphic in at least 4 of the 19 taxonomic entities listed.

Polyspecific association of two tamarin species, Saguinus labiatus and Saguinus fuscicollis, in Bolivia.

A 5 month field study was conducted in the Pando Department of northern Bolivia, on two tamarin species: the red-bellied tamarin, Saguinus l. labiatus, and the saddle-back tamarin, S. fuscicollis weddelli. Data were collected both by observation and radio-location on the group sizes, ranging behavior, daily activity patterns, and intergroup interactions. The two tamarin species formed stable mixed associations and each mixed species troop shared a common home range which they jointly defended against neighboring mixed species troops. Both species appeared to occupy a similar ecological niche, but differences were highlighted in their methods of insect foraging, their preferred height in the forest, and their mode of travel.
