APPENDIX A 89 Session 1 -- Marmoset Availability 8:40AM Current State of Affairs: Session Moderator: Analyzing the Numbers SAVERIO CAPUANO Objectives: • Inform on the status of marmoset population in the United States • Present one country's approach to meeting its marmoset-dependent research needs • Present a perspective on the conflict between conservation, bioprospecting, and biomedical research • In the context of anticipated demand for marmosets, discuss an equitable, sustainable, and fair control of and access to marmoset resources (numbers, tissues, and genetic material; how supply lines are established and the role of wild caught marmosets) globally Speakers: JON LEVINE, Wisconsin National Primate Research Center ERIKA SASAKI, Central Institute for Experimental Animals, Japan MARIA ADÉLIA BORSTELMANN DE OLIVEIRA, Federal Rural University of Pernambuco, Brazil SAVERIO CAPUANO Q&A with the audience 10:10AM COFFEE BREAK 10:30AM Genetic Diversity in Times Session Moderator: of Increased Demand JAMES PICKEL, National Institute of Mental Health Objectives: • Examine the prospect and application of a Species Survival Plan for marmosets, including its role in the exchange of genetic information (+ small colonies)
From page 90...
... • It appears likely that the U.S. marmoset research population will include a number of breeding colonies that are each relatively small, raising questions as to how to best maintain the overall population to ensure genetic viability.
