Anatomic Description of the Ulna of the White-Footed Tamarin (Saguinus leucopus Günther, 1876)

This document is a description of the macroscopic functional anatomy of the ulna bony prominences in the White-footed Tamarin (Saguinus leucopus), a neotropical endemic, and monotypic primate of Colombia. Few studies have been conducted on its anatomy, and thus its ulnar morphology, an essential ele...
