This is the first study in a primate, the red-bellied tamarin (Saguinus labiatus), to demonstrate a correlation between urinary estradiol during late pregnancy and postpartum infant-directed behavior. Females were defined as good (N = 6) or poor (N = 6) mothers, and were selected so that both groups contained 3 females with and 3 without prepubertal experience with infants. Females with prepubertal experience of infants were defined as good or poor mothers if 2 or less than 2 infants survived one week, respectively; females without such experience were defined as good or poor mothers if at least 1, or 0 infants survived one week, respectively. Five of the six good mothers had 2 surviving infants; 10 of the 13 infants of poor mothers died at day 0. Prepartum urinary total estradiol concentrations were constant in good mothers (5-4 weeks prepartum: 32.29 +/- 3.65 micrograms/mg creatinine; 1 week prepartum: 33.76 +/- 5.02 micrograms/mg CR.; p greater than 0.98), but declined significantly in poor mothers (5-4 weeks prepartum: 38.34 +/- 7.07 micrograms/mg Cr.; 1 week prepartum: 18.35 +/- 4.72 micrograms/mg Cr.; p less than 0.0004). At 1 week prepartum, estradiol was significantly higher in good mothers (p less than 0.03). When analysed separately, only good and poor mothers without prepubertal experience of infants had significantly different urinary estradiol concentrations. In the 2-hour postpartum period, good mothers spent more time lick-cleaning (p less than 0.02), carrying and nursing infants; poor mothers rubbed off clinging infants more, their infants spent less time being carried (p less than 0.03), and apparently starved because they had no opportunity to suckle.
