Martins' bare-faced tamarin, Saguinus martinsi, occurs north of the Rio Amazonas between the rios Nhamundá and Erepecurú, in the west of the state of Pará. Very few studies have addressed the ecology of this species. The principal goal of this study was to perform a biometric and physiological analysis of wild-caught tamarins. Sixteen individuals were captured from three groups: eight males, seven females, and one unidentified. Of these, 11 were adults, three were sub-adults, one was a juvenile and one was an infant. There were significant differences between males and females in the size of the canines and the respiration rate per minute. The capture method was efficient, and could serve as a model for other studies of tamarins, genus Saguinus, and callitrichids in general.
