Physical, hormonal and behavioural aspects of sexual development in the marmoset monkey, Callithrix jacchus
Abstract
Summary. Measurements of growth, plasma progesterone and testosterone levels, and copulatory behaviour were obtained from captive marmosets from birth until 600–800 days of age. Body weight and knee-to-heel length were similar for both sexes. Males exhibited a neonatal testosterone surge from 15–100 days and testosterone levels began to rise again, coincident with the growth of the testis, at about 250 days. The males were copulating by 400–500 days of age. Paired females were apparently ovulating and able to conceive from about 400 days. In peer groups, only the dominant female became pregnant, because subordinate females failed to ovulate.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
The source backs part of the claim, not all of it — or backs it for a different population, condition or comparison.
In the citing paper
“Young male white-faced marmosets showed a relatively low and stable rate of uA excretion from ages 2–7 months, followed by an increase in uA at 8 and 9 months of age (late juvenile phase), signaling the onset of puberty and corresponding with the growth in testis size [Abbott & Hearn, 1978; Dixson, 1986].”

In the citing paper
“Circulating T levels of young adult callitrichine sons still living in their natal groups before contact with an unrelated female have been reported to be similar to T levels of the dominant, breeding male [common marmoset: Abbott & Hearn, 1978; Baker et al., 1999; golden lion tamarin (Leontopithecus rosalia): French et al., 1989].”

In the citing paper
“The sexual maturation of young white-faced marmosets, as measured by levels of excreted uA, developed over time in a similar trajectory as other reported callitrichine primates [Abbott & Hearn, 1978; Chandolia et al., 2006; Dixson, 1986; Ginther et al., 2002].”

In the citing paper
“specific timelines for sexual maturation differ between marmosets and tamarins as marmosets reach sexual maturity faster than tamarins [e.g., about 16 months in common marmosets: Abbott & Hearn, 1978; between 22 and 24 months in cotton-top tamarins: Ginther et al., 2002].”

Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe cited source says what the claim attributes to it.
In the citing paper
“Because our sample collection for most males began during the second or third postnatal month, it is likely that we did not capture the transiently high androgen levels that characterize 1 month old male marmosets”

“Sexual maturation in monkeys is marked by an elevation of LH followed shortly thereafter by an elevation in T levels that reflect normal adult range [Abbott & Hearn, 1978; Dixson, 1986; Ginther et al., 2002].”

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.
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.
