The Callicebus Database Project in an initiative that aims to facilitate the exchange of information on the taxonomy and distribution of titi monkeys, genus Callicebus.
Since the first scientific description of a titi monkey in 1807, a large number of publications containing information Callicebus systematics and distribution have been published. With the exception of a few that were not available to me, all information provided in these publications has been translated and separated per (proposed) species. Two-hundred years ago grammar was very different from nowadays, especially in scientific literature. However, I have chosen to translate as literally as possible, even though some parts may be difficult to read. Copies of original figures and maps are included in the descriptions.
In the near future, each description of a species will start with a link to available pictures of museum and live specimens, and a map of its distribution.
I will also add a list of reported (but unpublished) field observations by collaborators of the Callicebus Database Project.
Do you have any reference, observation or image to add?
Please contact me.
The Callicebus Database Project needs the support of all of you!
