Distribution and density of Callimico goeldii in the Department of Pando, Bolivia.
The resting metabolic rates (RMRs) of six adult Goeldi's monkeys (Callimico goeldii) were measured using standard methods of open circuit respirometry during both the active (daytime) and inactive (nighttime) circadian phases for this species.
A decline of the Callimico goeldii population in American zoos is presently occurring due to glomerulonephritis of unknown etiology.

 Digimorph - Callimico goeldii (Goeldi's monkey)
Callimico goeldii, Goeldi’s monkey, is a South American or New World monkey.
Callimico goeldii is a member of the Callitrichinae, a group of small platyrrhines that are distinctive in having claw-like bilaterally compressed finger nails.
Callimico is a medium-sized callitrichine, with males and females averaging 499 g and 468 g respectively (Fleagle, 1999).

Callimicos (Latin for beautiful little monkeys) have the capacity to give birth to a single offspring twice annually while their closest primate relatives -- marmosets, tarmarins and lion tarmarins -- give birth to twins once a year.
Callimicos have big hands with claw-like nails and move about their habitat largely by leaping from one tree trunk to another or by walking on top of branches in a four-legged gait.
Callimicos are so timid that Porter only was able to observe them for a total of about one minute during her first three-month trip to Bolivia.

She is arguably the world expert on the rare callimico monkeys that scurry and leap through the understory of the Bolivian rainforest, which is also home to jaguars, pumas and a wide assortment of snakes.
The callimicos are particularly interesting from an evolutionary standpoint, which is why they’re of interest to anthropologists.
Today the zoo has a colony of callimicos and is in charge of captive management of callimicos in zoos across the United States.

 Brookfield Zoo | Field Guide - Callimico
But the tiny callimicos have a couple of big differences that some scientists think set them distinctly apart from their tamarin and marmoset relatives.
Another difference is that callimicos give birth to a single baby, while tamarins and marmosets usually give birth to two.

According to a study by Hershkovitz (1977), Callimico goeldii are small with a length of 210-234 mm, and a tail length of 255-324 mm.
Callimico goeldii generally stay within 5 meters of the forest floor and travel to higher elevations in order to obtain fruit.
Loss of habitat and dangers from hunting and trapping are severely threatening Callimico goeldii populations.

With its silky fl fur, the Goeldi's monkey is a little larger that a squirrel and closely resembles the characteristics of marmosets and tamarins.
This monkey was discovered in 1904 and was given the name Callimico which means "beautiful little monkey".

 Problems and Proposed Solutions in Platyrrhine Phylogeny
Callimico (Goeldi's monkey) is placed in Cebidae because, despite its clawed fingers and small body, Goeldi's monkey has other morphological features that appear more like those of larger-bodied monkeys than those of marmosets and tamarins.
(13) for the platyrrhines, in which each taxon is presumed to be a monophyletic group, places Callimico together with the four genera of marmosets and tamarins in the subfamily Callitrichinae.
The morphological studies agree in depicting Callimico as the sister group to all other callitrichines, in having a very close relationship between Callithrix and Cebuella within the callitrichine clade, and also between Chiropotes and Cacajao within the pitheciin clade.

 SSP-Callimico
Perhaps the most interesting part about the callimico SSP is that Brookfield Zoo was one of the first places to exhibit these primates in North America.
After years of research, Chicago Zoological Society wrote the husbandry manual for callimico which is used as a guide for their SSP.
Callimico range in South America, in the upper Amazon Basin region of Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru.

 UZH - Anthropological Institute & Museum - Franziska Mattle   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The aim of this PhD project is, to investigate the socio-sexual strategies and their underlying motivations in two "socially flexible" species of the family Callitrichidae, the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) and the Goeldi's monkey (Callimico goeldii).
The Callimico male does not begin to care for the infant until three weeks postpartum, and it is the female who controls male access to the infant.
To test these hypotheses, a series of experiments is conducted in captivity: sister pairs of each species are removed from their native families.

 ASP - Student Prize Award Abstract
The bounding pattern of Callimico consists of a basic sequence of spinal flexion with all four cheridia positioned under the body, followed by extension of the spine and limbs.
The pattern observed in Leontopithecus is a transaxial bound in which the cheridia are aligned along a single plane, and the body and hindlimbs are carried under the forelimbs in a pendulum fashion, with the leading foot overstepping the forelimb.
Osteometric data shows that the forelimb of Leontopithecus is long and relatively gracile compared to Callimico, which is more robust in its postcrania.

 Callimico Care
Like all callimicos (also called Goeldi’s monkeys), she has jet fl hair and her bird-like, high-pitched vocalizations can be heard from across the room.
Gabby slept in an incubator to keep her safe and warm; but the incubator was placed in the off-exhibit callimico enclosure where she could be seen and smelled by her family at all times.
Gracie cared for her first baby very well, so keepers are not sure what went wrong this time, but suspect that the death of the father may have triggered the problem.

Various derived chromosomal syntenies are shared by all five species and cytogenetically define Callitrichidae - including Callimico goeldii - as a distinctive group within the Platyrrhini.
A common derived chromosomal change links Callimico with the marmosets to the exclusion of the tamarins, however, it has further diverged from an ancestral marmoset karyotype by at least four apomorphic rearrangements.
Saimiri sciureus, representing the Cebinae, exclusively shares a derived syntenic association with all Callithrichidae, defining the genus Saimiri as a sister group.

A: Well, Nick and Noodle are two of the callimicos that live here at Brookfield Zoo, and how callimicos came to Brookfield Zoo is naturally an interesting story.
In 1977, the U.S. government contacted Brookfield Zoo to ask them if they could give a home to 10 tamarins that were confiscated from someone who was keeping them illegally.
As a matter of fact, one of the callimicos’ keepers, Sheila, changed her shoes, and the callimicos didn't want to have anything to do with her.

Goeldi's monkey (Callimico goeldii) has been assigned to the Mace-Lande category of 'vulnerable' [1], implying that it faces a high risk of extinction in the wild, based principally on both its low population densities and highly localised pattern of distribution [2, 3].
