thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on the iucn red list of threatened species website , we are grateful for your input .
older records of the species are not trustworthy because of much recent revisionary work on the genus by libert ( 1996 ) .
is a somewhat elusive butterfly within its huge extent of occurrence ( eoo ) that stretches from ghana’s volta region through nigeria and cameroon to the drc , uganda and northwestern tanzania . the known area of occupancy ( aoo ) is limited by the fact that the species is rarely met with in nature and little is known about its habits . however , this genus is generally elusive and the area of occupancy is almost certainly larger than currently known based on the huge eoo . even with a lack of understanding about the threats this species may face , it must be classified as least concern .
larsen ( 2005 ) describes this as a scarce species . whether this is due to the habits of the species or genuine rarity is unclear .
the species is mainly found in and around forest clearings and edges but very little is known about it .

allopathes is a genus of corals in the family antipathidae .

it is characterized by several long stems protruding from a short , thick base with spines arranged vertically around the stem .

its polyps are arranged in a single row that run the length of the coral .

this genus was initially a subgenus of cirrhipathes and stichopathes , although it also displayed similarities to antipathes verticillata .

however , the presence of branched growth forms excludes it from stichopathes or cirrhipathes and the unique morphology of its spines meant that it could not be included in allopathes .

because they seemed to have a combination of characteristics of different genera , the two species in question , allopathes desbonni and allopathes robillardi were given their own genus .

the name comes from the greek " allos - " , meaning " other " and " - pathes " , referring to its taxonomic relationship to other genera in antipathidae .

scientists aim to describe a single ' tree of life ' that reflects the evolutionary relationships of living things . however , evolutionary relationships are a matter of ongoing discovery , and there are different opinions about how living things should be grouped and named . eol reflects these differences by supporting several different scientific ' classifications ' . some species have been named more than once . such duplicates are listed under synonyms . eol also provides support for common names which may vary across regions as well as languages .

the golden-headed lion tamarin ( leontopithecus chrysomelas ) , also the golden-headed tamarin , is a lion tamarin endemic to brazil .

it is found only in the lowland and premontane tropical forest fragments in the state of bahia , and therefore is considered to be an endangered species .

it lives at heights of 3 – 10 metres ( 9.8 – 32.8 ft ) .

its preferred habitat is within mature forest , but with habitat destruction this is not always the case .

several sources seem to have different information on the number of individuals within a group , and the type of social system that may be apparent .

the golden-headed lion tamarin lives within group sizes ranging from 2 to 11 individuals , with the average size ranging from 4 to 7 .

according to various sources , the group may consist of two adult males , one adult female , and any immature individuals , one male and one female and any immature individuals , or there may be one producing pair and a varying number of other group members , usually offspring from previous generations .

there is not much known on its mating system , but according to different sources , and information on the possible social groups , it can be assumed that some may practice monogamous mating systems , and some may practice polyandrous mating systems .

both males and females invest energy in caring for the young , and all members of the group also help with juvenile care .

golden - headed lion tamarins are one of four species of lion tamarins , all of which are from the rainforests of brazil , and all are endangered species . our golden - headed lion tamarins came to us from the brevard zoo in florida . in the wild a golden - headed lion tamarin’s diet mainly consists of fruit , flowers , and insects . when you visit the zoo you may hear high - pitched trills and whines coming from these small creatures .
this fragmentation of the forest threatens loss of genetic diversity in small isolated populations , and collection golden - headed lion tamarin for the pet trade also used to be a big problem .
not to be confused with the golden lion tamarin , the golden - headed lion tamarin - - also called the golden - headed tamarin , and the gold and black lion tamarin - - is only found in the state of bahia in brazil . preferring tall evergreen broadleaf forests and semi - deciduous forests along the atlantic coast , they live in the food - rich forest canopy at 10 to 33 feet ( 3 to 10 meters ) . this small monkey thrives in the mature forest habitats that are quickly diminishing and becoming ever more fragmented , thereby impacting the viability of the species .

golden lion tamarins move quadrupedally through the trees and can spring and leap between branches and vines .
golden lion tamarins were upgraded from critically endangered to endangered in 2003 following these extensive conservation efforts . about one - third of the wild population today originated from golden lion tamarins raised in human care . about 3 , 200 golden lion tamarins live in the wild , most in or near the

information about wild golden - headed lion tamarin ecology primarily comes from research that has been conducted at una biological reserve by raboy and dietz since 1991 . comparative research on the ecology of golden - headed lion tamarins and golden lion tamarins ( l . rosalia ) is unfolding and preliminary results suggest that the two are not as similar as expected given their taxonomic relationship . care should be taken to avoid assuming the two exhibit identical ecological behaviors such as foraging , diet , and ranging patterns ( dietz 1997 ; raboy & dietz 2004 ) .
some of the problems contributing to their status in the wild include massive deforestation for commercial agriculture crops , habitat fragmentation , and encroaching human populations . export for the international pet trade may also be a factor contributing to declining golden - headed lion tamarin populations .
thirty years ago , fewer than 200 golden lion tamarins could be found in their native habitat in brazil .
striking manes around their head is what gives them the name lion tamarin . all lion tamarins are endangered because of the serious level of destruction of the atlantic rain forest where they are found .
golden - headed lion tamarins are found only in brazil . due to habitat destruction , they are confined to the southern part of the state of bahia , brazil ( mitchell and erwin 1986 ) .
in tamarin society , males and females mate for life and take equal part in raising their young .
because of their relatively large home range sizes , golden - headed lion tamarins encounter other groups less frequently than golden lion tamarins , but when they do , they exhibit territorial behavior . intergroup behavior is aggressive and includes bouts of vocalizing , chasing , and fighting between individuals ( dietz et al . 1996 ; raboy & dietz 2004 ) .
there is scant data available on accidental mortality but there have been some unpublished reports of golden - headed lion tamarins getting caught in snare traps set for other animals and accidentally being killed ( oliver & santos 1991 ) .
following this important meeting , the zoo made a major commitment to the captive breeding and conservation of the golden lion tamarin and launched a long - term investigation into the reproduction , social behavior and husbandry of the species in human care . for many years , golden lion tamarins were free - ranging at the zoo to help them prepare for eventual reintroduction to the wild in brazil .
the zoo played an important role in creating the golden lion tamarin conservation program , which is still active today in field research , reintroduction , environmental education and habitat restoration . currently , the international committee for the conservation and management of lion tamarins advises the brazilian government on the research and conservation activities for these species .
in the early 1970s , there were as few as 200 golden lion tamarins in the wild . they were upgraded from critically endangered to endangered in 2003 following intensive conservation efforts . about one - third of the wild population today originated from golden lion tamarins raised in human care .
the zoo population of golden lion tamarins has been managed globally since 1973 . in 1981 , golden lion tamarins became one of the first species to be designated as part of the association of zoos & aquariums’ species survival plan , with 143 zoos participating in the captive breeding program .
the rapid rate of habitat destruction within the range of the golden - headed lion tamarins indicates that their numbers will not remain high for long and suggests that forest fragmentation will continue to whittle away at the existing population much like the pattern seen in golden lion tamarins ( l . rosalia ) ( oliver & santos 1991 ; rylands 1993 - 1994 ; de s . pinto & rylands 1997 ) . actions must be taken immediately to stop habitat destruction and begin to reconnect patches of forest that still harbor golden - headed lion tamarins ( oliver & santos ; de s . pinto & rylands 1997 ) .
cool animal fact : golden - headed lion tamarins also communicate using smell . they have scent glands which they use to mark their territory and pathways to food sources . individuals can be identified by one another based on their scent .
as with other lion tamarins , golden lion tamarins are a social species . in the wild , they live in groups of two to eight family members . the groups comprise a breeding pair , offspring of one or two litters and possibly other relatives . golden lion tamarins groom much like other primates . the juveniles play , chasing and wrestling with each other .
both male and female golden - headed lion tamarins have well - developed scent glands on their chest and around their genitals which secrete chemicals used to communicate information about the individual including sex and reproductive status as well as territory demarcation . unfortunately , no work has been done to analyze the chemical composition of these secretions and therefore little information is understood about the mechanism by which these work to signal other golden - headed lion tamarins ( ruiz - miranda & kleiman 2002 ) .
the limited data available on fecundity and mortality in golden - headed lion tamarins suggests that the population grows more slowly and is subject to higher levels of predation compared to golden lion tamarins ( l . rosalia ) ( dietz 1997 ) . wild golden - headed lion tamarins have never been seen producing more than one litter per year , so population growth is relatively slow . furthermore , disappearance rates are high within the population at una biological reserve and may be attributed to density of predators . mammalian and avian predators are a threat to these small animals , and when forest conditions are right , the predator population can thrive and have a negative effect on golden - headed lion tamarins ( dietz 1997 ) . unidentified disease is another contributor to mortality at una . certain illnesses can sweep through a group and kill all of the members within a few days ( dietz 1997 ) .
the nature of habitat fragmentation throughout the golden - headed lion tamarin ' s range will probably lead to problems associated with inbreeding including inbreeding depression , genetic drift , lack of genetic diversity , and lower recruitment rates . the total population at una is estimated to be between 240 and 460 individuals . though there is a wide discrepancy between estimates , the population is still thought to be less than the 500 breeding individuals necessary to maintain genetic diversity over the long term ( dietz et al . 1996 ) . additionally , the population at una represents the largest population in the most intact forest in the entire range of the golden - headed lion tamarin , so it is clear that other subpopulations are subject to loss of genetic diversity over time .
with a long , golden lion - like mane around its face the golden - headed lion tamarin is suitably named . about the same size as a squirrel , they can grow up to 30 cm long ( females are usually slightly larger ) plus a tail of approx . 35 cm ; the body is predominantly black with golden - orange limbs and males and females are similar in appearance . they have sharp claws ( unusual in primates as most others have nails ) , and they use these for climbing and catching prey . their food consists mainly of insects and lizards , as well as soft fruit .
golden - headed lion tamarins are diurnal and spend most of their time in tropical forests at heights of 3 to 10 meters . they do not even come down to sleep at night . leontopithecus chrysomela sleeps in tree holes , vines , or epiphytes .
key research on golden - headed lion tamarins began with adelmar coimbra - filho in the early 1970s and revolved around taxonomic history , geographic distribution and habitat type . he was the first to set up a captive breeding colony of the species and was instrumental in getting the land set aside for una , where long - term research on golden - headed tamarins is still being conducted ( rylands et al . 2002b ) . russell mittermeier , james dietz , anthony rylands , and becky raboy have also contributed greatly to the current base of knowledge about wild golden - headed lion tamarins while kristel de vleeschouwer and linda van elsacker have been driving forces behind captive research ( rylands et al . 2002b ) .
generally hunters in this region are either leisure hunters or subsistence hunters and though golden - headed lion tamarins are seldom hunted for food , there are a few reports that hunters kill and eat them ( oliver & santos 1991 ; dos santos & blanes 1997 ) .
the golden - headed lion tamarin lives only in the altantic rainforest of coastal brazil . the primary ( undisturbed ) forest is now extremely fragmented , and while these monkeys will use forest regrowth and rubber plantations where some native trees remain , they depend on old growth forest for sleeping sites . home ranges can be from 40 to 100 hectares , depending on how rich the forest is in food .
golden - headed lion tamarins are primarily insectivorous and frugivorous . however , they have been known to eat invertebrates such as spiders and snails . there are also records of this species eating lizards , bird eggs , and even small birds ( nowak and paradiso 1983 ) .
conservation status and threats the iucn red list categorized the golden - headed lion tamarin as endangered in 1982 , and it remains so today . as previously stated and worth repeating , just 2 % of its original habitat remains in brazil’s atlantic forest , one of the most endangered ecosystems on earth . the majority of the original forest has been cleared for farming , mining , ranching & expanding urban centers . most golden - headed lion tamarins are confined to the protected una biological reserve . surviving populations are scattered and thinly distributed . conservation efforts in 1980 the brazilian government created the una biological reserve for the protection of the golden - headed lion tamarin and its habitat . over the years the park has been slowly growing as the government acquires more land . the population at una is the largest population in the most intact forest . there is also a captive breeding colony of 25 golden - headed lion tamarins at the rio de janeiro primate center . in the early 1990s , the landowner ' s environmental protection plan was created to educate the community about the importance of protecting the forest and the tamarins . the protection plan included conservation activities on over 70 % of the neighboring farms , educating farmers on how to use sustainable agriculture in order to preserve the tamarins ' habitat . the plan also educates school children , hunters and forest guards on conservation , property rights and land use . this method of educating and involving the community has had great success for preserving the tamarin and their habitat .
appearance , size , & weight the golden - headed lion tamarin is a beautiful little monkey with a long , thick golden to orange mane around the face , as their name implies . the body is shiny black with golden to orange limbs , hands , and feet . its long tail is black and golden . weighing in at about 17 to 25 ounces ( 500 to 700 grams ) and measuring 8 to 13 inches ( 20 to 34 centimeters ) in body length plus a 12 to 15 inch ( 32 to 40 centimeter ) long tail , females are typically the larger gender , a rather uncommon occurrence in primates . with arms and legs of similar size to each other , the golden - headed lion tamarin comfortably moves through the forest canopy quadrupedally ( on all fours ) . as all callitrichids ( the family of new world monkeys that includes marmosets and tamarins ) , their fingers are long and dexterous , and they have claws rather than nails on all but the big toe . this clawed adaptation allows them to cling to and climb trees as easily as squirrels do .
translocation program , where they may pose a risk to both translocated animals and the local animals ( although there was no golden - lion tamarin in the release site , there are other primate species ) . alternatively , in cases of zoonosis , potentially presenting a risk to the human population living in the area [
the iucn classes the golden - headed lion tamarin as endangered . once found widely across eastern brazil , today it only survives in pockets of eastern brazil , with total numbers estimated at 6 , 000 - 15 , 000 individuals . the primary threat is the ongoing destruction of the atlantic rainforest , with an estimated 2 - 5 % of their original habitat surviving as a result of deforestation for timber , charcoal and agriculture .
historically , collection for the pet trade , severe habitat loss and fragmentation were the primary threats to golden lion tamarins . habitats were destroyed to make way for sugar cane and coffee production , cattle grazing , logging , charcoal and urbanization . as a result , in the early 1970s , there were as few as 200 golden lion tamarins in the wild .
some information about social behaviors must be extrapolated from studies of captive golden lion tamarins ( l . rosalia ) simply because there is not enough data from wild or captive studies on golden - headed lion tamarins . though the two species are closely related and likely share a repertoire of similar behaviors , using data from golden lion tamarins should be done prudently as new research on golden - headed lion tamarins will likely reveal similarities and differences between the species . among golden lion tamarins , grooming is a major form of social activity and occurs between all family members either as they huddle in close contact during the day or evening or between pairs of individuals throughout the day ( kleiman et al . 1988 ) . adult females groom males more frequently than the reverse , and this may indicate that adult males are dominant over adult females within the group . juveniles and subadults have high frequencies of grooming neonatal infants as they are interested in the youngest group members and attempt to make contact with them as often as possible . they will also groom the infants ' mother in an attempt to get closer to the newborn ( kleiman et al . 1988 ) .
vocalizations among golden - headed lion tamarins are based on activity and behavior . trills are used when activity is solitary . clucks can be heard while an animal is foraging . long calls indicate vigilance . whines are made when two individuals are making contact with one another ( nowak and paradiso 1983 ) .
like most primates , golden - headed lion tamarins are a social species , typically living in family groups of 4 to 8 individuals . they breed once a year . when threatened they will fluff up their fur to make themselves appear bigger than they really are , and this helps them ward off predators .
oliveira cr , ruiz - miranda cr , kleiman dg , beck bb ( 2003 ) . play behavior in juvenile golden lion tamarins ( callitrichidae : primates ) : organization in relation to costs .
at the smithsonian ' s national zoo , golden lion tamarins eat fruits , carrots , sweet potatoes , green beans , hard - boiled eggs , mealworms , crickets , and a marmoset gel .
just 2 - 5 % of the golden - headed lion tamarin’s original habitat remains in brazil ( 3 ) . this species is now only found in the east of brazil , in the southern portion of bahia ( 2 ) ( 3 ) ( 7 ) . here , the majority are confined to the protected una biological reserve ( 3 ) . they were originally found much more widely across eastern brazil ; today , surviving populations are scattered and thinly distributed ( 7 ) .
in the eastern half of their range , golden - headed lion tamarin habitat is characterized by wet conditions throughout the year , but in 1995 , a severe drought occurred and resulted in a serious wildfire that threatened una biological reserve ( anonymous 1995 ) . the fire was started when neighboring farmers lost control of a fire they started to help clear their fields , a common technique used in south america to clear land of growth and add nutrients to the soil before planting crops .
a striking species , golden lion tamarins are small social south america primates with a magnificent reddish - gold coat and a long , backswept mane . once down to 200 individuals in the wild , intensive conservation efforts have helped the population recover . still an endangered species , there are about 3 , 200 in the wild—about a third of which are descendants of golden lion tamarins raised in human care .
their sleep patterns are regular , meaning that they sleep from dusk until sunrise , oftentimes with a midday nap . golden lion tamarins sleep in tree holes for warmth and protection from predators at night .
golden - headed lion tamarins live in family groups of 10 or more . multi male and female groups occur in the wild . following a gestation of between 125 - 130 days the female will normally give birth to twins and as with many tamarins , older siblings and the male will take turns in baby - sitting .
golden - headed lion tamarins have a pretty broad communications repertoire . their vocalizations are based on activities and social interactions . long calls maintain pair bonds and signal a group ' s presence in their territory . trills are used when activity is solitary , and they cluck while foraging . when two individuals make contact , they whine .
like other lion tamarins , the golden - headed lion tamarin is diurnal , that is , it sleeps at night and is active during the day . they live in groups ranging from 2 to 11 individuals , averaging at 5 to 8 . groups typically consist of 2 adult males , 1 adult female , and their offspring . although less is known about the mating habits of this tamarin species , scientists assume that , like other tamarin species , they are primarily monogamous . only one female in the group breeds and , like other callitrichids , she usually gives birth to twins . any other females’ reproduction is suppressed by the pheromones and dominant behavior of the breeding female . both males and females care for the young , and all group members assist in childcare . at night , they sleep in holes in trees that were created by woodpeckers and they may occupy the same nest for 6 days before moving on .
information about visual communication in golden - headed lion tamarins in also limited and therefore what is known about visual signals in golden lion tamarins must be applied to the former species ( ruiz - miranda & kleiman 2002 ) . the repertoire of visual signals is limited compared to the other communication forms , but includes both postural and facial expressions that act as signals to nearby individuals ( kleiman et al . 1988 ; kinzey 1997 ) . golden lion tamarins exhibit tongue - flicking , arch - walking , tail thrashing , rump displays and piloerection in sexual and social contexts ( kinzey 1997 ; ruiz - miranda & kleiman 2002 ) . most visual signals are used during territorial encounters , social interactions , and reproductive events ( ruiz - miranda & kleiman 2002 ) .

golden - headed lion tamarins are one of four species of lion tamarins in the genus leontopithecus that have similar body shapes and share several common features including a lionlike mane of hair surrounding their dark brown , or black , hairless faces ( rowe 1996 ) . the golden - headed lion tamarin has black fur over its entire body except for on its head and mane , where the fur is a light to deep golden color . it also has golden fur on part of its tail , hands , feet , and forearms ( rowe 1996 ; groves 2001 ) . males and females are about the same size and weight , though a female ' s weight fluctuates more than a male ' s during certain times in the reproductive cycle . in captivity , males weigh between 540 and 700 g ( 1 . 19 and 1 . 54 lb ) and average 620 g 1 . 37 lb ) and measure , on average , 250 mm ( 9 . 84 in ) while females weigh between 480 and 590 g ( 1 . 06 and 1 . 30 lb ) and average 534 . 8 g ( 1 . 18 lb ) and measure , on average 236 . 3 mm ( 9 . 30 in ) ( rosenberger & coimbra - filho 1984 ) . based on a few specimens , wild male golden - headed lion tamarins weigh 550 g ( 1 . 21 lb ) , and the average weight of wild females is 591 g ( 1 . 30 lb ) ( leigh 1994 ; raboy 2002 ) .

the first year of life is the most difficult for golden lion tamarins ; 50 percent of infants die during this time . the remaining individuals usually live for eight years and up to 15 years in human care .
diet primarily a frugivore , or fruit eater , the golden - headed lion tamarin has a fairly broad diet , consuming plants , fruits , flowers , nectar , insects and small invertebrates , including include insect larvae , spiders , snails , frogs , lizards , bird eggs and small snakes . they find animal prey in the leaf litter of the forest floor , in the holes and crevices of trees , and by breaking open rotting wood to find large insects . their long hands and slender fingers are well adapted to this method of foraging . only occasionally do they supplement their diets with less nutritious gum and tree sap since their preferred foods are available year round . the golden - headed lion tamarin , like all marmosets and tamarins , plays an important role in seed dispersal . the seeds of the fruits that they consume pass through the monkeys’ digestive tracts unharmed and are defecated far enough away from the parent plant to result in greater distribution of the plant species . this , in turn , regrows the forest ' s resources and ultimately feeds more animals .
golden - headed lion tamarins are endemic to brazil and are found in small and disjunctive areas of forest in the coastal states of bahia and minas gerais ( rylands et al . 2002a ) . they are the northernmost species of lion tamarins and are found in the very southeastern area of bahia and the extreme northeast of minas gerais within 150 km ( 93 . 2 mi ) of the atlantic coast and at altitudes below 500 m ( 1640 ft ) . the range is bound by the rio de contas in the north , the rio jequitinhonha in the south , the atlantic ocean in the east , and a change in altitude and vegetation in the west ( de s . pinto & rylands 1997 ) . the total area extends over about 19 , 000 km² ( 7336 mi² ) , but the forests in which they are found are highly fragmented because of land use activities including cattle ranching and cocoa cultivation . they are found in over 100 sites throughout their range , but are protected only in bahia at una biological reserve , a 94 km² ( 36 . 3 mi² ) area that has a golden - headed lion tamarin population of 450 individuals as of 2000 ( de s . pinto & rylands 1997 ; rylands et al . 2002a ; cruz pers . comm . ) . there are more golden - headed lion tamarins than all of the other three species combined ( l . rosalia , l . chrysopygus , and l . caissara ) , with the total wild population estimated to be between 6 , 000 and 15 , 000 individuals ( de s . pinto & rylands 1997 ) . there are about 600 golden - headed lion tamarins in captivity around the world ( rylands et al . 2002a ) .
continued conservation efforts ( such as reforestation and the creation of wildlife corridors ) are essential to sustain and grow the overall population , and to ensure all of the hard work put into saving golden lion tamarins is not undone .
another important behavior of cooperative infant care is food provisioning . for the first four weeks , the infants exclusively nurse , but food sharing begins during week five ( tardif et al . 2002 ) . by week 12 , young golden - headed lion tamarins are being provisioned at the highest rates , and sharing will decrease over time such that by about five months of age , they are no longer being provisioned by group members ( tardif et al . 2002 ) . though there is no data from wild golden - headed lion tamarins , wild golden lion tamarin juveniles ( l . rosalia ) are provisioned until 21 months of age , and the pattern may be similar across species ( tardif et al . 2002 ) . sharing food with infants may teach them an appropriate diet and provide them with important nutrients . in younger infants , foods that are high in lipids and protein that they are unable to acquire on their own , such as insects , are shared more frequently than other types of foods . older juveniles receive a wider variety of foods , probably as a way to learn about appropriate foods ( tardif et al . 2002 ) .
the golden - headed lion tamarin’s name describes its striking appearance perfectly . the thick , long golden to orange mane around its face is indeed reminiscent of a male lion’s mane ( 3 ) . when in danger or defending its territory , this tamarin raises its fantastic mane and fluffs up its fur to give it the appearance of being bigger than it really is , whilst flicking its tongue at the intruder to scare them away ( 5 ) . females and males are very similar in appearance , as are the young , but unlike most other primates , it is the adult female that is usually larger than the adult male ( 6 ) . the body is predominantly shiny and black , with golden to orange limbs and paws , and a black and golden coloured , long tail ( 7 ) . its fore and hind limbs are similar in size , allowing it to move quadrupedally through the forest ( 6 ) . their fingers are long and dextrous and , like all callitrichids , the nails have evolved into claws on all but the big toe , which has a flattened nail , allowing them to climb in a squirrel - like fashion through the trees ( 2 ) ( 3 ) ( 5 ) .
other characteristics shared by lion tamarins include the presence of claw - like nails ( called tegulae ) instead of flat nails ( called ungulae ) as seen in humans and other primates , and the tendency to give birth to twins more frequently than singletons ( sussman 2000 ) . the claw - like nails seen in golden - headed lion tamarins aid in their locomotion patterns of quadrupedal running , clinging , and leaping between trees . having nails at the ends of their fingertips instead of on top of their fingertips allows them to efficiently grip vertical surfaces and may help stabilize them on small branches ( sussman 2000 ) . the pattern of twinning that is common among golden - headed lion tamarins is an unusual characteristic for primates because of the high time and caloric investment necessary to carry and care for two infants at once . lion tamarins and other callitrichines that exhibit this pattern have evolved social organizations and behaviors that include cooperative breeding to decrease the energetic strain on the mother and increase infant survival ( sussman 2000 ) .
the only significant protected area in which golden - headed lion tamarins are found is una biological reserve , a 94 km² ( 36 . 3 mi² ) park created specifically for their protection in 1980 . though the original governmental decree was for an area of 114 km² ( 44 . 0 mi² ) , this amount of land was not purchased immediately and for the last 25 years , the park has been growing incrementally as the government continues to acquire land ( de s . pinto & rylands 1997 ; cruz pers . comm . ) . forests surrounding una are still relatively intact and it should be a priority to purchase them and integrate them into the biological reserve because , as it exists now , una is not large enough to support a self - sustaining population of golden - headed lion tamarins ( rylands 1993 - 1994 ; de s . pinto & rylands 1997 ) . if purchase and integration is not possible , it will be essential to work with land owners to persuade them to initiate tamarin - friendly land use patterns . existing programs to educate private land owners in the areas around the reserve should continue while corridors should be grown connecting remaining old growth forests on private lands with una forests . ( de s . pinto & rylands 1997 ; mallinson 2001 ) . the landowners ' environmental education programme began in the early 1990s and focused on educating the community surrounding the reserve about the importance of protecting not only the reserve itself but contiguous forests . on over 70 % of the farms in the area , conservation activities have been undertaken including sustainable agricultural practices that focus on preserving forests and golden - headed lion tamarin habitat ( mallinson 2001 ) . school children , farm workers , hunters , and forest guards have been involved in the education program focusing on conservation , property rights , and land use as well as developing alternative sustainable economic undertakings ( mallinson 2001 ) . as land is purchased for more forest reserves or protected areas in areas other than una , programs like this should certainly be part of the transition from private to reserve land so that communities neighboring new reserves understand the importance of their actions on the golden - headed lion tamarin ' s habitat and ultimate survival .
interesting fact : all lion tamarins have long fingers and sharp claws to help them catch grubs and bugs in the trees .
following the drop in cocoa prices and the spread of witch ' s broom disease , unemployment rates soared in the region surrounding una biological reserve . displaced workers swarmed to the forests , both protected and unprotected , clearing the land for subsistence agriculture because of their lack of economic prospects ( padua et al . 2002 ) . additionally , cocoa plantation owners began to cut the primary forests of the cabruca and sell the lumber to supplement income . this resulted in an increased rate of forest fragmentation both within una and in the surrounding areas and directly impacting the golden - headed lion tamarin ( padua et al . 2002 ) .
while the estimate of golden lion tamarins living in the wild has continued to rise in recent years , they are still classified as endangered because their habitat remains fragmented in to small , unconnected areas , each only capable of supporting a small number of groups . this has decreased the quality of tamarin habitat and limited their ability to grow populations . without intervention , inbreeding will contribute to the local extinction of many of these small populations , and eventually the entire species .
golden lion tamarins live in the heavily populated atlantic coastal regions of southeastern brazil . they live in humid forests with many vines , bromeliads , and other epiphytes . they occupy the closed canopy , often remaining 29 to 100 feet ( 10 to 30 meters ) off the ground .
the landowners ' environmental education programme needs to incorporate information about burning fields and the potential harm that can be done to neighboring forests , especially under certain environmental conditions . while the newly established buffer zone between the reserve and other lands might decrease the chance of a fire spreading too quickly to the center of the reserve , in some situations , una , and the golden - headed lion tamarins that live there , might be subject to serious natural disasters .
in 1972 , the zoo held a ground - breaking conference bringing together 28 european , american and brazilian biologists to save the golden lion tamarin . long - term recommendations for husbandry were developed for research and conservation activities , including support for the breeding program in brazil , studies of breeding biology , protocols for captive husbandry and management , medical programs , hand - rearing guidelines , inter - institutional cooperation and the establishment of a studbook and a data bank to record all aspects of their propagation in human care .
both vocal and chemical communication are important to golden - headed lion tamarin groups . because they live in tropical forests , visual communication is less important in long - distance interactions but is important in interactions between individuals that are in proximity ( ruiz - miranda & kleiman 2002 ) . the only available information about vocal and visual communication in lion tamarins is for the golden lion tamarin ( l . rosalia ) , but it is believed that similarities exist among all species of leontopithecus ( ruiz - miranda & kleiman 2002 ) . there are six discrete categories of vocalizations in golden lion tamarin communication : tonal , clucks , trills , atonal , multisyllable , and combination ( ruiz - miranda & kleiman 2002 ) . tonal vocalizations include the
whine
and
peep
calls and serve as alarm and affiliation calls .
whines
are given in reaction to the presence of predators while
peeps
are sounded by solitary young after being reunited with the group or by any group member upon finding food ( kleiman et al . 1988 ; boinski et al . 1994 ; ruiz - miranda & kleiman 2002 ) .
clucks
signal reaction to the presence of a novel item or are giving during foraging bouts . they also can signal aggression when golden lion tamarins encounter neighbors or intruders and are given while chasing or mobbing predators ( kleiman et al . 1988 ; boinski et al . 1994 ) .
trills
have multiple purposes but mainly serve to indicate the location of the caller to other individuals over long distances . atonal calls such as
rasps
or
screeches
are heard mostly during playing or as playing escalates to fighting ( kleiman et al . 1988 ; boinski et al . 1994 ) . multisyllable calls include the most important vocalizations for group cohesion , the
short
and
long calls .
these are typically heard as golden lion tamarins leave their sleeping sites in the morning to locate their neighbors and are heard throughout the day as individuals keep in vocal contact with other group members ( peres 1991 ; ruiz - miranda & kleiman 2002 ) . combination calls also serve multiple purposes and include
trill - rasps ,
trill - whines ,
and
cluck - whines .
these are used by juveniles begging for attention , protection , or food or by group members as they defend their territory against intruders or predators ( ruiz - miranda & kleiman 2002 ) .
each group has one breeding pair . the breeding season is between september and march , the warmest and wettest time of year . after a gestation period of about four and a half months , the female usually gives birth to twins . golden lion tamarins are born fully furred with their eyes open . they cling to their mothers for the first few weeks . all members of the group will carry and care for the infants , but the adult male usually does the largest share . the mother only takes the babies to nurse them . after about five weeks , babies begin to explore on their own ; they are weaned at 3 months . as with golden - headed lion tamarins , sexual maturity is reached at 18 months for females and 2 years for males .
golden - headed lion tamarins are sympatric with three other species of primates , the black tufted - ear marmoset ( callithrix kuhli ) , the yellow breasted capuchin ( cebus xanthosternos ) , and the northern masked titi ( callicebus personatus melanochir ) . the tamarins do not compete for resources with these other species because of differences in foraging techniques at different heights of the forest and the exploitation of different animal prey ( rylands 1989 ; 1993 ) . they form mixed - species groups with the black tufted - ear marmosets and often travel together with them for the entire day . during these associations , individuals of both species use the same pathways in the canopy , forage side - by - side in fruit trees , and coordinate periods of travel and rest ( raboy 1998 ) . golden - headed lion tamarins and black tufted - ear marmosets both utilize fruit as a major food resource and both are small and vulnerable to a number of predators . this interesting pattern of association is probably beneficial to both species in foraging benefits and increased detection of , and safety from , predators ( raboy 1998 ) . because of their excellent skills as insect foragers , golden - headed lion tamarins often facilitate the capture of insects by other species as well . birds like the white - fronted nunbird and the woodcreeper follow behind the tamarins as they forage in microhabitats and capture insects that are flushed out of bromeliads ( raboy 1998 ; hankerson et al . in press ) .
golden lion tamarins are small monkeys , weighing 17 to 24 ounces ( 482 to 680 grams ) and measuring 6 to 10 inches ( 15 to 25 centimeters ) in length with a tail of about 12 to 15 inches ( 32 to 40 centimeters ) . males and females are similar in appearance and size .
with records of over 100 localities where l . chrysomelas still occur through the region bounded by the rio de contas in the north and the rio jequitinhonha in the south , more populations remain than of all the other three lion tamarin species combined . however , the remaining forests are being destroyed at an unprecedented rate for the region and the populations surviving are seriously depleted and fragmented . an important aspect which has contributed to the more favourable situation of the golden - headed lion tamarin is the traditional and fairly widespread use of the “cabruca” system for shading cacao trees . some of the original canopy trees are left standing , and this allows for connectivity between forest patches . if well managed , this could be an important management tool for future conservation efforts . threats to golden - headed lion tamarins come from socio - economic transformations resulting from the difficulties of the cocoa industry ( low prices and disease epidemics ) , that have dominated the region over the last 15 years , resulting in the expansion of alternative crops , notably african palm oil and coconuts ( alger and caldas 1994 ) . in the west of its range , the forest is increasingly destroyed and fragmented as a result of cattle ranching ( pinto 1994 ; pinto and rylands 1997 ) . a study by dietz et a l . ( 2000 ) examined inbreeding depression in small ( 50 or less ) isolated populations of l . rosalia . they concluded that it reduced probability of long - term survival by about one - third . there is every reason to believe that inbreeding depression is likewise prejudicial to the isolated populations of l . chrysomelas , most especially in the western half of its range where forest fragmentation is extreme ( pinto and rylands , 1997 ) .
in the early 1980s , large numbers of golden - headed lion tamarins were illegally exported from brazil to countries like belgium , france , french guiana , and japan in order to supply the booming pet trade and exotic animal collectors ( mallinson 2001 ; rylands et al . 2002a ; b ) . the brazilian environmental agency ibama concentrated efforts on recovery of illegally exported tamarins and , in 1986 , was able to begin a captive breeding colony with seized animals ( mallinson 2001 ) . the large numbers of recovered animals helped establish a genetically diverse founder population from which to begin captive breeding programs in brazil , europe , japan , and the united states ( ballou et al . 2002 ) . seizures of golden - headed lion tamarins continue today , though not nearly at as high of a rate as was seen in the 1980s . the international demand for these animals as pets still exists , and though it is not nearly as high , coupled with the other threats to the population , it may affect the future potential of the population to survive .
like other lion tamarins , golden - headed - lion tamarins are diurnal . they feed mainly on fruits , and play an important role in seed dispersal . they also feed on flowers and nectar ( 2 ) , and prey on small animals such as frogs , snails , lizards and spiders , and may opportunistically feed on gums , saps and latex from trees ( 3 ) ( 5 ) . animal prey is found in the forest floor litter and in the trees , in holes and crevices , and by breaking rotting wood to find large insects ( 6 ) ( 8 ) . their long hands and slender fingers help with this method of foraging ( 3 ) ( 5 ) .
administrators of una biological reserve continue to confiscate illegally kept golden - headed lion tamarins and , in 1999 , the captive population was over 600 individuals ( ballou et al . 2002 ) . one effort to decrease the number of animals taken as pets or killed for food is education . when poachers or hunters are encountered , they receive information about the importance of conservation and the brazilian laws that forbid the activity ( padua et al . 2002 ) . this simple message has been successful in decreasing hunting rates by 50 % according to ibama ( dos santos & blanes 1997 ; padua et al . 2002 ) . not only are hunters directly confronted if caught , education programs for all land owners and community members have been aimed at educating people about the endemism present in nearby the forests ( dos santos & blanes 1997 ) . armed with information about conservation of their unique surroundings , community members begin to see golden - headed lion tamarins not as food or a potential source of income , but as an important part of the ecosystem and part of the local heritage .
there are no external signs of ovulation , therefore reproductive females attract attention from breeding males by presenting their rumps toward the male and slightly lifting the tail . the male responds to this behavior by inspecting and sniffing the female ' s genitals , evaluating her attractiveness and reproductive status ( de vleeschouwer et al . 2000 ) . the highest occurrence of sexual behavior is during the peak of female receptivity , and once a female conceives , gestation lasts about four months ( 129 days ) ( french et al . 2002 ) . golden - headed lion tamarins exhibit birth seasonality even though they live in an area in which resources are equally abundant year - round . most births occur from october through april and there is a significant absence of births from may to september ( bach et al . 2001 ) . most primates that exhibit birth seasonality do so because reproductive events are energetically expensive , and to maximize likelihood of infant survival , breeding , birth , and lactation occur during times of high resource abundance ( sussman 2000 ) . golden - headed lion tamarins seem to exhibit birth seasonality in accordance with photoperiod . this may be an adaptation because there may be behavioral advantages of raising offspring during longer days ( bach et al . 2001 ) . in captivity , golden - headed lion tamarins can have one or two litters per year but in the wild they usually only have one per year ( de vleeschouwer et al . 2001 ) . rates of twinning are similar in captivity and in the wild , with more than half of the births resulting in twins rather than singletons ( bach et al . 2001 ) .
having a healthy predator population within una is essential for the functioning of the ecosystem , but other efforts to decrease golden - headed lion tamarin mortality have been undertaken . current studies require that habituated animals be captured every six months to replace radio transmitter batteries . at this semiannual event , veterinary care is provided for the animals as a routine way to check their health and evaluate any concerns ( dietz et al . 1996 ) . by monitoring the health of the animals over time , changes can be noted and care can be provided in certain circumstances . monitoring and attempting to provide care for sick tamarins is an expensive and relatively futile process compared to eliminating sources of inbreeding depression that might cause certain individuals to be at higher risk for health problems . it is essential that una does not become an island of forest , cutting off dispersing golden - headed lion tamarins from entering new territories , starting new groups , or immigrating into the breeding position of existing groups . efforts to connect patches of forest throughout the range will increase the likelihood of gene flow in the population and will help to decrease the chances of the loss of genetic diversity ( dietz et al . 1996 ) . currently , studies to evaluate and prioritze areas for forest linkage are underway and will hopefully lead to management strategies and eventual reconnection of forest fragments ( raboy pers . comm . ) .

scrobipalpa obsoletella , the summer groundling , is a moth of the gelechiidae family .

it is found in most of europe , turkey , the caucasus , from iran to asian russia ( transbaikal ) and mongolia .

it has also been recorded from south africa and north america , where it is probably an introduced species .

the habitat consists of coastal salt marshes and sandy beaches .

the wingspan is 12 – 14 mm .

adults have been recorded on wing from may to august .

the larvae feed on atriplex glabriuscula , atriplex halimus , atriplex litoralis , atriplex tatarica and chenopodium species .

the larvae bore in the pith of the stem .

the frass is ejected through a hole in the stem , located at the base of the leaf or a side branch .

the larvae can be found from june to july and again in september .

they are light green when young , turning yellowish green later .

the head is light brown .

the species overwinters in the larval stage .

scrobipalpa obsoletella

scrobipalpa obsoletella ( summer groundling ) - norfolk micro moths - the micro moths of norfolk .
euscrobipalpa obsoletella ( fischer von roslerstamm 1841 ) ( euscrobipalpa povolný 1967 is a junior synonym of scrobipalpa janse 1951 . )
scrobipalpa obsoletella - those with the forewing a pale greyish colour lacking any red - brown colouration and appearing paler in the final one - third due to a pale postmedial fascia .
scrobipalpa suaedella - those with an obvious clear pale ochreous dorsal quarter to the forewing .
one pre 1900 record from hunstanton ( barrett ) may not be distinguishable from scrobipalpa nitentella .
s . nitentella was only distinguished from s . obsoletella in britain in 1935 and as a consequence there is some uncertainty as to the true identity of some of the older records .
scrobipalpa ocellatella - those with the prominent angled fascia at three quarters on the forewing and dark markings contrasting with the surrounding paler ground colour .
because of the sometimes considerable variation within most saltmarsh inhabiting scrobipalpa species , identification by wing markings alone will often not be possible . caution and care are the watchwords for this group .
those more readily identifiable when freshly emerged by the forewing markings are listed below . however all of these also have variation in their wing markings which , when the obvious features are obscured or worn , will then resemble some other scrobipalpa species .

widely scattered but local over much of england with a strong preference for coastal eastern and southern regions but has been found regularly inland ; locally common on scilly isles ; rare in scotland , wales and ireland and apparently absent from the channel islands .
atriplex spp . ( orache ) including atriplex prostrata ( spear - leaved orache ) , see distribution map , atriplex glabriuscula ( babbington ' s orache ) and supposedly chenopodium spp . ( goosefoot ) .
in europe on atriplex littoralis ( grass - leaved orache ) , a . halimus ( sea orache ) , a . tatarica and also on chenopodium spp . ( goosefoot ) , both on ruderal and halophytic ( salt - loving ) species .
dry whitish frass extruding from a small hole in the stem will indicate a larva within the stem and has been found feeding within or between spun fruits of babbington ' s orache .
saltmarshes , sea banks and other coastal locations where the foodplants occur . information relating to inland sites where larvae have been found do not appear to have been documented .
larva : feeds within the stem , leaving a small hole with dry whitish frass . on babbington ' s orache it has been found feeding in a single fruit or , more usually , two spun together .
adult : flies at night and comes to light often some miles from its nearest foodplant site .
usually the palest of the saltmarsh species and greyer than most , often lacking any sign of red - brown colouration on the wings . similar species such as s . nitentella and s . atriplicella usually have darker forewings .
if a moth has been bred from a known foodplant , and therefore also time of year when the larva feeds and the nature of its feeding methods have been observed , this information , plus a freshly emerged moth , will allow the number of possibilites to be reduced considerably . if the bred or caught moth is a very fresh specimen and displays the distinctive markings of some species ( see below ) then an identification without more detailed examination should be possible in many cases .
in cases where there is any doubt , particularly where worn light - trapped specimens are concerned , dissection will be essential to obtain an accurate identification until a good familiarity is built up with the range of species and their markings at a particular site .
even genitalia differences are often small but are constant between the various species . it is advisable to seek confirmation of identifications by genitalia until familiarity is built up with this genus .

robert : quote from : copper on ( 10 aug 2010 ) tue 09 : 30 pm there is no evidence of hybridization between southern and common blue blues in new zealand . i have updated the common & southern blue pages urltoken & urltoken from ; quote in the areas where both the common & southern blue hybridise , like north canterbury & the waiho gorge . these hybrids are extremely viable in pattern on the underwing ( which makes the females impossible to tell apart & the males need close inspection of their genitals to tell ) . to ; quote there are rumours of hybridisation between the common & southern blue in north canterbury & the waiho gorge , however there has being no published evidence of this . for the time being , i ' m going to leave the boulder copper page alone as i have it as lycaena ( boldenaria ) boldenarum & refer to boldenaria as a sub - genus . i put it this way after reading the kazakhstani article i mentioned above as it concluded this same answer . robert .
copper : yes its quite ok to use boldenaria as ` a subgeneric name ; the zizina article is accessible on google scholar and was published in zootaxa 2008 ; the field revision was published in early 1970s in smithsonian contributions to zoology .
