Weddell's Tamarin
Weddell's saddle-back tamarin (''Leontocebus weddelli'') is a species of saddle-back tamarin, a type of small monkey from South America. Weddell's saddle-back tamarin was formerly considered to be a subspecies of the brown-mantled tamarin, ''L. fuscicollis''. It lives in Brazil, Bolivia and Peru, with the type locality being in Bolivia. There are 3 subspecies: *''Leontocebus weddelli weddelli'' *Crandall's saddle-back tamarin, (''Leontocebus weddelli crandalli'') * White-mantled tamarin or White saddle-back tamarin, (''Leontocebus weddelli melanoleucus'') Males have a head and body length of about and females have a head and body length of about . The tail is between and long. Males weigh about and females weight about . Its diet consists of fruits, gums, nectar, insects and other small animals. It lives in various types of groups, including single-adult male, single adult female groups, multi-male, multi-female groups, single-male, multi-female groups and single female ...

Émile Deville
Émile Deville (25 January 1824 – 8 January 1853) was a French people, French physician, naturalist and Taxidermy, taxidermist. Emile Deville, already an employee of Muséum national d'histoire naturelle, joined the 1843 expedition of Francis de Laporte de Castelnau (1810–1880) to South America with the doctor and botanist Hugh Algernon Weddell (1819–1877). He returned with many bird specimens, especially parrots, including two new species, Bonaparte's parakeet and the dusky-headed parakeet, which he described in 1851. He also described, with Isidore Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, the white-tailed titi, and with de Castelnau, some Brachyura, crabs. A number of species bear his name, such as the blaze-winged parakeet, ''Pyrrhura devillei'' and the striated antbird, ''Drymophila devillei''. The following are a few of the writings that are attributed to Deville: * ''Description de quelques Mammifères et Oiseaux nouveaux de L'Amérique méridionale'' - Description of some new mammal ...

Saddle-back Tamarin
The saddle-back tamarins are squirrel-sized New World monkeys from the family (biology), family Callitrichidae in the genus or subgenus ''Leontocebus''. They were split from the tamarin genus ''Saguinus'' based on genetic data and on the fact that saddle-back tamarins are sympatric with members of ''Saguinus'' to a greater extent than would be expected from two members of the same genus. However, this argument can be circular, as several other mammals show sympatry among congeneric species, such as armadillos (genus ''Dasypus''), spotted cats (genus ''Leopardus''), and fruit-eating bats (genus ''Artibeus''). Some authors still consider ''Leontocebus'' to be a subgenus of ''Saguinus''. Species include: In some locations saddle-back tamarins live sympatrically with tamarins of the genus ''Sanguinus'', but the saddle-back tamarins typically occupy lower strata of the forest than do the ''Sanguinus'' species. Saddle-back tamarins have longer and narrower hands than ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Subspecies
In Taxonomy (biology), biological classification, subspecies (: subspecies) is a rank below species, used for populations that live in different areas and vary in size, shape, or other physical characteristics (Morphology (biology), morphology), but that can successfully interbreed. Not all species have subspecies, but for those that do there must be at least two. Subspecies is abbreviated as subsp. or ssp. and the singular and plural forms are the same ("the subspecies is" or "the subspecies are"). In zoology, under the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, the subspecies is the only taxonomic rank below that of species that can receive a name. In botany and mycology, under the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants, other infraspecific name, infraspecific ranks, such as variety (botany), variety, may be named. In bacteriology and virology, under standard International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes, bacterial nomenclature and virus clas ...

Brown-mantled Tamarin
The brown-mantled tamarin (''Leontocebus fuscicollis''), also known as Spix's saddle-back tamarin, is a species of saddle-back tamarin. This New World monkey is found in the Southern American countries of Bolivia, Brazil and Peru. This Omnivore, omnivorous member of the Callitrichidae family is usually found in smaller groups ranging between 4 and 15 individuals. This species communicates vocally and largely relies on its olfactory system. The brown-mantled tamarin is considered a species of Least-concern species, Least Concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, despite a decreasing population and being threatened by poaching, habitat loss and capture for the illegal pet trade.

Red-bellied Tamarin
The white-lipped tamarin (''Saguinus labiatus''), also known as the red-bellied tamarin, is a tamarin which lives in the Amazon area of Brazil and Bolivia. The red belly of these New World monkeys is its most remarkable outward characteristic. Otherwise it is black with a thin white mustache on its face and a black-brown back. They live in social groups In the social sciences, a social group is defined as two or more people who interact with one another, share similar characteristics, and collectively have a sense of unity. Regardless, social groups come in a myriad of sizes and varieties. Fo ... of related animals. The mother usually gives birth to one or two young at a time. The father carries the babies most, but siblings (brothers and sisters) will also share the carrying of youngsters, and so learn how to be good carers.

Goeldi's Marmoset
Goeldi's marmoset, or Goeldi's monkey (''Callimico goeldii''), is a small New World monkey found on the South American continent, mainly in the upper Amazon basin of Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, and PerĂş. It is the only species classified in the monotypic genus ''Callimico'', thus these monkeys are sometimes referred to as "callimicos". The species takes its name from its discoverer, Swiss-Brazilian naturalist Emil August Goeldi. Likely an evolutionary adaptation for camouflage and the evasion of predators, Goeldi's marmosets are a dark-furred species, usually a blackish-gray or darker brown in color. Superficially, the short hair on their head gives them a vague resemblance to the larger woolly monkey ('' Lagothrix''); however, the back of their necks, their backside, and tails often display light, horizontal striping or highlights. Their bodies are about long, and their tails are about another long. Captive Goeldi's marmosets weigh around , while observed individuals were appr ...

IUCN
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) is an international organization working in the field of nature conservation and sustainable use of natural resources. Founded in 1948, IUCN has become the global authority on the status of the natural world and the measures needed to safeguard it. It is involved in data gathering and Data analysis, analysis, research, field projects, advocacy, and education. IUCN's mission is to "influence, encourage and assist societies throughout the world to conserve nature and to ensure that any use of natural resources is equitable and ecologically sustainable". Over the past decades, IUCN has widened its focus beyond conservation ecology and now incorporates issues related to sustainable development in its projects. IUCN does not itself aim to mobilize the public in support of nature conservation. It tries to influence the actions of governments, business and other stakeholders by providing information and advice and through buildin ...

Least Concern
A least-concern species is a species that has been evaluated and categorized by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as not being a focus of wildlife conservation because the specific species is still plentiful in the wild. They do not qualify as threatened, near threatened, or (before 2001) conservation dependent. Species cannot be assigned the "Least Concern" category unless they have had their population status evaluated. That is, adequate information is needed to make a direct, or indirect, assessment of its risk of extinction based on its distribution or population status. Evaluation Since 2001 the category has had the abbreviation "LC", following the IUCN 2001 Categories & Criteria (version 3.1). Before 2001 "least concern" was a subcategory of the " Lower Risk" category and assigned the code "LR/lc" or lc. Around 20% of least concern taxa (3261 of 15,636) in the IUCN database still use the code "LR/lc", which indicates they have not been re- ...

Taxa Named By Émile Deville
In biology, a taxon (back-formation from ''taxonomy''; : taxa) is a group of one or more populations of an organism or organisms seen by taxonomists to form a unit. Although neither is required, a taxon is usually known by a particular name and given a particular ranking, especially if and when it is accepted or becomes established. It is very common, however, for taxonomists to remain at odds over what belongs to a taxon and the criteria used for inclusion, especially in the context of rank-based (" Linnaean") nomenclature (much less so under phylogenetic nomenclature). If a taxon is given a formal scientific name, its use is then governed by one of the nomenclature codes specifying which scientific name is correct for a particular grouping. Initial attempts at classifying and ordering organisms (plants and animals) were presumably set forth in prehistoric times by hunter-gatherers, as suggested by the fairly sophisticated folk taxonomies. Much later, Aristotle, and later still ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
