Attempts to establish successful breeding colonies of Aotus trivirgatus at this and other laboratories have largely been unsuccessful, resulting in only occasional pregnancies and a rare live birth. After the recognition of seven different karyotypes of owl monkeys, animals were paired on this basis and resulted in a marked increase in conceptions. From 1971 to 1975 only 10 pregnancies occurred but during 1975, there were 19 pregnancies. In addition to proper karyotyping, a period of acclimation and conditioning was required. Mean body measurements and weights of infants were established.
在本实验室及其他实验室尝试建立成功的三带夜猴繁殖群体的努力大多未成功，仅偶尔有怀孕情况，且很少有活产。在识别出夜猴的七种不同核型后，动物在此基础上进行配对，受孕率显著提高。1971年至1975年仅有10次怀孕，但在1975年有19次怀孕。除了进行适当的核型分析外，还需要一段适应和调理期。确定了婴儿的平均身体尺寸和体重。
