ecology · mediumIn one captive Wisconsin colony, offspring of 24 experienced common-marmoset fathers classified as responsive to infant distress calls had higher survival past one month (p = 0.002; 62 offspring) and greater mean weights at weeks 28 and 30; this study-level association does not establish a species-wide causal effect or wild behavior.
