  • Title: The growth and development of the squirrel monkey (Saimiri Sciureus).
    Author: Kaack B, Walker L, Brizzee KR.
    Journal: Growth; 1979 Jun; 43(2):116-35. PubMed ID: 114454.
    Abstract:
    Squirrel monkeys of 2 subspecies, Bolivian and Colombian, were removed from their mothers on the day of birth and nursery reared for up to 2 years of age. Infants were tested weekly for 12 weeks, then monthly for 1 year, and at 2 years of age. Tests included morphology (body weight, crown-rump length, and head measurements), behavior (reflexes, activity, reaction to the surrogate), and physiology (heart rate, respiratory rate, temperature and optokinetic nystagmus). Data show some likenesses and some differences between the 2 subspecies.
