Home range size and habitat use in the black lion tamarin (Leontopithecus chrysopygus)
The black lion tamarin (Leontopithecus chrysopygus) is a threatened species due to past destruction of its natural habitat, thus knowledge of its home range size and use is essential in planning for its conservation. I studied one group for 4 months in the Morro do Diabo State Park, in Sao Paulo Sta...
