## Abstract Many primates habitually feed on tree exudates such as gums and saps. Among these exudate feeders, __Cebuella pygmaea__, __Callithrix__ spp., __Phaner furcifer__, and most likely __Euoticus elegantulus__ elicit exudate flow by biting into trees with their anterior dentition. We define t

## Abstract Although all genera of Callitrichinae feed on tree exudates, marmosets (__Callithrix__ and __Cebuella__) use specialized anterior teeth to gouge holes in trees and actively stimulate exudate flow. Behavioral studies demonstrate that marmosets use large jaw gapes but do not appear to gen
A comparative study of carpal joint structure and function in six Malagasy lemuriforms was undertaken to test predicted morphoclines in carpal joint morphology between pronograde and orthograde arboreal primates. Patterns of movement at the wrist during locomotion were observed and described for the
