• The Systematics and Distributions of the Marmosets (Callithrix, Callibella, Cebuella, and Mico) and Callimico (Callimico) (Callitrichidae, Primates) (2009, background): “…discussion in the 1970s and 1980s concluded, however, that small size in callitrichids is derived rather than primitive (Leutenegger 1973, 1980; Ford 1980; Rosenberger 1981, 1984), and morphological affinities (especially in the dental adaptation for tree-gouging and gum-feeding) and numerous…”
• A Molecular Phylogeny of Living Primates (2011, background): “This phylogenetic depiction of Callitrichinae is concordant with several other morphological and reproductive traits [32,35] related to dwarfism and perhaps reflects adaptive evolution selected by fluctuating resource availability within the Amazon and Atlantic coast rainforests [36].”
• Body Weight of Wild and Captive Common Marmosets (Callithrix jacchus) (2000, background): “The small size and body weight, which Leutenegger (1980) and Ford (1980, 1994) consider to evidence phyletic dwarfism, has a direct influence on the cooperative infant care of the relatively heavy newborns (Tardif et al., 1993).”
