N2 - We carried out a 4-month census of primates in the Pando Department of
northern Bolivia with special emphasis on Saguinus species. Contrary to a
previous report by Izawa and Bejarano (1981), there was no evidence for
the presence of the two populations of Saguinus mystax that they reported, or that Lagothrix occurs in the Pando. In addition, we found the distribution of Saguinus imperator to be more restricted than they suggested. We confirm the presence of Cebuella south of the Río Tahuamanu (cf. Brown and Rumiz, 1986) and report two new locations for Callimico goeldii.
We present data on group sizes, habitat utilization, and locomotor
behavior of the primates and compare them with previous studies in the
Pando. Differences in body size, diet, foraging techniques, and vertical
use of the forest appear to be key factors in both sympatry and in the
formation of polyspecific associations.
