Craniofacial growth in young marmosets (Callithrix jacchus).
A cross-sectional study of craniofacial growth in young marmosets was performed. Selected linear craniofacial measurements were obtained from groups of 5 animals of each sex at 3 monthly intervals from birth to 1 year. These data provide a baseline for comparison with other colonies and in the assessment of teratogens on craniofacial development.
