โข General education (outside range countries) This species has a very unique and highly evolutionary distinctiveness among callitrichids. This is expressed in a score called ED (this is furthered explained on this website). The species can be used to share information in general about callitrichid biology and the evolution of facial expressions in monkeys. โข Exhibit This attractive, popular, and easy to handle exhibit species allows EAZA institutions to gain experience with callitrichid management and to maintain knowledge on mixed species exhibits as well to preserve this knowledge and keep up staff experience. |
