Morphological Variation in Wild Marmosets (Callithrix penicillata and C. geoffroyi) and Their Hybrids

Abstract

Evolutionary theory and observation predict wider phenotypic variation in hybrids than parental species. Emergent phenotypic novelty in hybrids may in turn drive new adaptations or speciation by breaking parental phenotypic constraints. Primate hybridization is often documented through genetic evidence, but knowledge about the primate hybrid phenotype remains limited due to a small number of available studies on hybrid primate morphology. Here, we examine pelage and morphometric variation in two Brazilian marmoset species (Callithrix penicillata and C. geoffroyi) and their hybrids. Hybrids were sampled in an anthropogenic hybrid zone in the municipality of Viçosa, Minas Gerais state, Brazil. We analyzed hybrid facial and body pelage color variation, and compared 13 morphometric measures between hybrids and parental species. Five different hybrid facial morphotypes were observed, varying from intermediate to parental-like. Hybrid facial morphotypes were biased towards C. penicillata, suggesting that the pelage of this species may be dominant to that of C. geoffroyi in this context, and indicating that mate preference, and therefore gene flow/introgression, may be biased towards C. penicillata within the hybrid zone. Hybrid morphometric features were on average intermediate to parental species traits, but transgressive hybrids were also observed, suggesting that morphometric variation for the studied traits is consistent with Rieseberg’s complementary allele model. Finally, we observed a decoupling of facial patterning and size/shape in hybrids, relative to parent phenotypes, suggesting that an important factor driving phenotypic novelty within the Viçosa marmoset hybrid zone might be the loosening of evolutionary constraints on phenotypic trait integration.

TL;DR

This study examines pelage and morphometric variation in wild *Callithrix penicillata*, *C. geoffroyi*, and their hybrids in an anthropogenic hybrid zone in Viçosa, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Hybrids showed five facial morphotypes biased toward *C. penicillata*, generally intermediate but mosaic morphometrics, some transgressive individuals, and decoupling of facial patterning from body size/shape.

Key findings

  • The total sample was 65 individuals: *C. penicillata* (n = 22), *C. geoffroyi* (n = 14), and hybrids (n = 40). Five hybrid facial morphotypes were observed: A 35.5 %, B 16.13 %, C 12.9 %, D 19.35 %, and E 16.13 %; all hybrids had the conspicuous white forehead spot characteristic of *C. penicillata*, and the bias toward *C. penicillata*-like facial patterns suggests possible dominance of *C. penicillata* facial pelage and mate/gene-flow bias toward *C. penicillata*.
  • MANOVA indicated significant differences among taxa (n = 60; 5 cases deleted; p < 0.001), and univariate ANOVA was significant for all traits except BODY. *C. geoffroyi* was larger than *C. penicillata* for all measured metric traits. Hybrids were significantly larger than *C. penicillata* for nine traits and not significantly smaller for any; they were significantly smaller than *C. geoffroyi* for five traits (WEIGHT, TAIL, CLCR, ILD, FOD; only WEIGHT and FOD remained significant with Bonferroni correction).
  • Hybrids were on average intermediate but mosaic: more *C. penicillata*-like for body mass, head size, and foot length, and more *C. geoffroyi*-like for femur and hand length and ear size. PCA first four components represented 72.97 % of total variation; hybrids showed greater variation than parental taxa, with some individuals outside parental shape space (transgressive), often females.
  • The authors found no evidence for heterosis or dysgenesis in the hybrid sample; transgressive hybrids were interpreted as consistent with Rieseberg’s complementary allele model. Facial morphotype A, most *C. penicillata*-like, was the most transgressive in body size/shape, while morphotype C was the only hybrid facial group firmly within the *C. penicillata* size range, suggesting decoupling of facial patterning and size/shape.

Methods

  • Wild marmosets were sampled in Brazil: adult *C. penicillata* (13 males, 9 females) from Brasília and Goiânia in the Cerrado; adult *C. geoffroyi* (6 males, 8 females) from Espírito Santo; and hybrids (19 males: 15 adults, 4 juveniles; 21 females: 14 adults, 7 juveniles) from five groups in a 75 ha semi-deciduous submontane forest fragment at the Federal University of Viçosa. Animals were trapped, anesthetized with ketamine hydrochloride (10 mg/kg) and xylazine hydrochloride (0.5 mg/kg), measured, and released.
  • Pelage color and pattern were scored across chromogenetic fields by two independent observers, with 95 % inter-observer concordance. Hybrid identification followed Hershkovitz’s facial trait descriptions. Morphometric analyses used only fully adult animals and included 13 traits: body weight plus 12 linear distances.
  • Statistical analyses included MANOVA on all 13 traits, univariate ANOVA for each trait, pairwise t tests with Bonferroni-adjusted probabilities, and PCA based on a correlation matrix.

Limitations

  • Stated in the paper: the study uses only morphological data, lacks information on hybrid status (e.g., F1 vs. backcross), cannot identify cryptic hybrids, and likely underestimates actual hybridization levels at Viçosa. The authors also state that without additional genetic and behavioral data it is difficult to take the results further, and that they did not directly test heterosis because the sample likely comprises wild multigenerational hybrids with unknown pedigrees.
  • Evident from the text: sample sizes are uneven across taxa and traits, with missing data leading to deletion of five cases and some trait-specific n values of 21, 28, or 29; the hybrid sample includes juveniles for pelage but not morphometrics; sampling localities differ in ecological context though all are urban or near-urban; and the absence of known pedigrees limits inference about hybrid generation and genetic mechanisms.

    “Here, hybrid trait averages were not smaller than both parental trait averages, suggesting that dysgenesis is not present in our hybrid marmoset sample, and therefore that the gene complexes of the parental species are similar.”

    § Discordance in Facial and Morphometric Features Among Vic ¸osa Hybrid Marmosets · p. 11

    If non-native marmosets were originally introduced to this area in the 1970s, and assuming approximately 1.5 years per marmoset generation, marmosets currently living in the area are members of approximately the 25th-30th generation of marmoset hybrids within Viçosa.

    “If non-native marmosets were originally introduced to this area in the 1970s, and assuming approximately 1.5 years per marmoset generation (Tardif et al. 2003), we would expect that marmosets currently living in the area are members of approximately the 25th-30th generation of marmoset hybrids within Vic ¸osa.”

    § Morphometric Variation Within the Vic ¸osa Hybrid Zone · p. 11

    This is a manifestation of the general increase in variation seen in the hybrids, and suggests that within the Viçosa hybrid zone morphometric variation for the studied traits can best be explained by the complementary allele model proposed by Rieseberg et al. (1999, 2003).

    § Morphometric Variation Within the Vic ¸osa Hybrid Zone · p. 11

    Morphometric traits in parental species are likely to be influenced by additive alleles of opposing effects, with non-opposing alleles recombining in the transgressive hybrids.

    “In other words, morphometric traits in parental species are likely to be influenced by additive alleles of opposing effects, with non-opposing alleles recombining in the transgressive hybrids.”

  • The paper relies on this without support.

    The sampled C. penicillata and C. geoffroyi individuals are pure representatives of their species, not hybrids.

Self-check

Percentages, sums and reported differences re-computed from the paper’s own numbers.

  • Stated total sample does not match the species counts

    Minor

    The listed species counts add to 76 individuals, not the stated total of 65. The total of 65 matches the adult morphometric sample in Table 2, but not the sample described here.

    Reported 65 · recomputed 76

  • Mean juvenile-female count in Table 1 is incorrect

    Minor

    The five juvenile-female counts average 1.40 per group, not 4.80.

    Reported 4.8 · recomputed 1.4

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-11-09, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).

A second model labelled each claim on 2026-11-09 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).

Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
