Abstract
We present reliable field techniques for capturing, anesthetizing, and identifying individual cotton-top tamarins (Saguinus oedipus oedipus) . A new technique is presented for radio-tracking small bodied primate s. A backpack-style harness was designed to carry a transmitter. This system appears effective in minimizing potential injury and does not a ppear to interfere with the normal behavior of the animal. (C) 1993 Wi ley-Liss, Inc.
