    Summary

    New World primates Callicebus moloch and Saimiri sciureus show distinct physiological stress responses. Saimiri exhibited higher heart rate and cortisol levels, indicating different stress coping mechanisms between these primate species.

    Area of Science:

    • Primate physiology
    • Comparative biology
    • Neuroendocrinology

    Background:

    • Callicebus moloch and Saimiri sciureus, New World primates, exhibit contrasting life modes.
    • Understanding physiological differences can illuminate adaptive strategies in primates.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the physiological stress responses (heart rate, cortisol) of Callicebus moloch and Saimiri sciureus.
    • To investigate species-specific differences in physiological regulation under stress.

    Main Methods:

    • Comparison of heart rate and plasma corticosteroid levels in response to novel environment exposure and physical restraint.
    • Monitoring physiological parameters over a 1-hour period.

    Main Results:

    • Saimiri sciureus displayed higher initial heart rate and corticosteroid levels than Callicebus moloch.
    • Saimiri maintained elevated heart rate, while Callicebus heart rate declined.
    • Both species showed increased adrenocortical activity, with greater elevations in Saimiri.

    Conclusions:

    • Callicebus moloch and Saimiri sciureus possess distinct physiological regulatory systems.
    • These physiological differences align with observed behavioral contrasts between the two primate species.
