A 3-month field study was conducted in Panama to determine presence and relative abundance of Saguinus geoffroyi, the Geoffroy's tamarin, and status of its habitat (see Acknowledgments for taxonomic note). This primate has a wide geographical distribution in eastern Panama; however, local distribution is highly variable. Tropical forest habitat is rapidly being converted for agriculture and timber. Areas where human access was strictly limited showed tamarin densities significantly greater than in less protected areas. Disturbance has a distinct impact on population densities. There may also be a relationship between tamarin abundance and specific types of vegetation. Future actions regarding the conservation of S. geoffroyi and its habitat are recommended.
在巴拿马进行了为期 3 个月的实地研究，以确定 Geoffrey 绢毛猴（Saguinus geoffroyi）的存在和相对丰度，以及其栖息地的状况（参见致谢以获取分类说明）。这种灵长类动物在巴拿马东部的地理分布范围很广；但是，局部分布高度可变。热带森林栖息地正在迅速转化为农业和木材。人类严格限制进入的地区的绢毛猴密度明显高于保护较少的地区。干扰对种群密度有明显影响。绢毛猴的丰度与特定类型的植被之间也可能存在关系。建议采取未来行动，保护 S. geoffroyi 及其栖息地。
