Genetic and environmental impacts on litter size and early infant survival in three species of callitrichids.

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Jaquish C E, Cheverud J M, Tardif S D

Abstract excerpt

Callitrichids are unusual among anthropoid primates in that they can deliver one to four offspring per litter in captivity. Factors underlying intraspecific variation in litter size are unclear. Data from the Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU) Marmoset Research Center provided an opportunity to investigate determinants of variation in (1) average litter size at birth and (2) average litter size surviving to...
