  Wied's Marmoset (Callithrix kuhli)
Some of the holes, however, were not used for feeding, and the marmosets may have gouged first to help absorb the scent mark with the suprapubic gland; these particular scent marks occurred on horizontal branches that were near the boundaries of the territory where territorial disputes were common (Stevenson and Rylands, 1988).

 Primate Factsheets: Pygmy marmoset (Callithrix pygmaea)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Pygmy marmosets are the smallest monkeys in the world, weighing a mere 119 g (4.20 oz) on average and measuring, on average, 136 mm (5.35 in) (Soini 1988; Rowe 1996).
Pygmy marmosets are able to support their weight on the tips of their long, sharp, claw-like nails (called tegulae) which are different from the flat nails (called ungulae) seen in other primates, including humans, and are probably an adaptation to a life spent clinging to trees (Kinzey 1997; Sussman 2000).

 Pygmy Marmoset (Cebuella pygmaea)
The pygmy marmoset is a gummivore-insectivore and occasionally eats fruit, buds, flowers, nectar, and vertebrates (Kinzey, 1997; Soini, 1982, 1988; Ramirez, 1985a, b; Coimbra-Filho and Mittermeier, 1977).
The home range of the pygmy marmoset is determined by the distribution of trees used as a source of gum, and when gum yield drops in a certain area the group will move on to a new area (Soini, 1993, 1988).
Predators of pygmy marmosets include: the tayra (Eira barbara), the ocelot (Leopardus pardalis), the oncilla (Leopardus tigrinus), the margay (Leopardus wiedii), the jaguarondi (Herpailurus yaguarondi), pit viper (Bothrops atrox), and birds of prey (accipitrids and falconids) (Soini, 1988).

Marmosets and tamarins are found in the northern, central, east coastal, and Amazon regions of South America, including modern-day Brazil, Peru, Colombia, and Panama.
Marmosets and tamarins are very clever in that they gouge trees so that the tree will produce saps and gums for them to feed upon.

 Marmoset - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The marmosets are the genus Callithrix of New World monkeys.
Marmosets are highly active, living in the upper canopy of forest trees, and feeding on insects, fruit and leaves.
Marmosets live in small family groups consisting of a mated pair and their offspring, thus making marmosets (along with gibbons) some of the few monogamous primates.

 Primate Factsheets: Common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus)
Common marmosets are small-bodied New World monkeys that are a mottled brown, grey, and yellow color with white ear tufts and long, banded tails (Rowe 1996).
Common marmosets inhabit a variety of forest types including the extreme northern Atlantic coastal forest, dry, seasonal, semideciduous inland forests, riverine forests in dry thorn scrub habitat or caatinga, and the savanna forest or cerrado in central Brazil (Rylands and de Faria 1993; Rylands et al.
With lower incisors that are the same length as their canines, common marmosets systematically gnaw the bark of plants to stimulate the flow of edible exudates while vertically clinging with their claw-like nails to the trunks of trees (Stevenson and Rylands 1988; Ferrari and Lopes Ferrari 1989).

Marmosets have been used widely in neuroscience research programs in models of cerebral vascular disease, tardive dyskinesia, multiple sclerosis (MS) and neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's and Huntington's disease (table 2) (35-37).
Sequencing of the marmoset genome was identified as a priority objective at the first annual Marmoset research Group of the Americas meeting held a the University of Wisconsin in the summer of 2004.

 The Marmoset Project
Marmoset is an automated snapshot, submission and testing system developed at the University of Maryland.
Have you ever asked questions like "What the heck are students doing when they pull marathon all-nighters?" or "It looks like many students are making the same mistake; can I find these errors automatically so my students don't waste their time?".
That 20% of the snapshots did not compile is not surprising, as snapshots are triggered by saving and the constant background compilation provided by Eclipse allows many syntax errors to be fixed without saving.

I've been listening to this for a while, and it's a good thing, because it's really taken that long to sink in.
Marmoset's sound is a bit ethereal, kinda sloppy around the drums, and definitely recalling the chiming, somewhat dissonant school of guitar, where Professor Sonic Youth and Dr. Pavement once taught.
