The goal of this study was to investigate the behavioral and endocrine profiles of reproductive (RMs) and non-reproductive (NRs) common marmoset adult free-ranging males living in two natural groups (GC1 and GR2). The groups inhabited the area of the Escola Agr?cola de Jundia?/UFRN, located in Maca?ba, Brazil. Fecal collection for cortisol and androgen measurement and behavioral monitoring was carried out during the active phase from April to September, 2005. For behavioral data collection the focal instantaneous method was used every 5 min, for a total of 11.563 records. Statistical analysis was performed using non parametric tests and p < 0.05. Besides showing diurnal variation, the frequency of affiliative behaviors was significantly higher for RMs toward reproductive females than for NRs. Affiliative interactions of RMs with both reproductive females and NRs were similar, probably related to pair bond formation and helper recruitment, respectively. Parental care was also similar for both RMs and NRs. Both androgen and cortisol levels increased after the birth of the infants, mainly in RMs. The longitudinal profile of androgens fluctuates more in response to agonistic encounters and sexual behavior than that of cortisol. The mean basal excretion of both hormones was significantly higher in RMs and seems to reflect their higher participation in territorial vigilance and mate guarding behaviors. Significant positive correlations were found between agonism and cortisol and androgen hormones. These results describe, for the first time, the behavioral and hormonal profiles of common marmosets living in free-ranging groups and suggest that reproductive males are more responsive both behaviorally and hormonally to social group dynamics / Ao contr?rio do que ocorre para as f?meas da esp?cie Callithrix jacchus, as intera??es sociais e perfis hormonais de machos s?o pouco estudados, principalmente em grupos naturais. O objetivo desse estudo foi estabelecer os perfis comportamental e end?crino de machos adultos reprodutores (MRs) e n?o reprodutores (MnRs) vivendo em ambiente natural em dois grupos silvestres (GC1 e GR2). Os grupos habitavam a ?rea da Escola Agr?cola de Jundia?/UFRN, localizada no munic?pio de Maca?ba. A coleta de fezes para dosagem de cortisol e andr?genos e o monitoramento comportamental foram feitas uma vez por semana durante a fase de atividade no per?odo de abril a setembro de 2005. A coleta de dados comportamentais foi feita usando o m?todo focal instant?neo a cada 5 minutos para cada animal, em um total de observa??o de 11.563 registros. Para a an?lise estat?stica, foram utilizados testes n?o param?tricos e p < 0,05. Al?m de apresentarem varia??o diurna significativa, a freq??ncia de comportamentos afiliativos foi maior entre os pares reprodutores, comparado aos registros entre os MnRs e as f?meas reprodutoras. As intera??es afiliativas dos MRs com as f?meas reprodutoras foram semelhantes a freq??ncia de intera??es entre os focais (MRs e MnRs), possivelmente em fun??o da liga??o do par e recrutamento de ajudantes, respectivamente. O comportamento de cuidado com o infante tamb?m foi semelhante entre os MRs e MnRs e os n?veis de cortisol e andr?genos se elevaram ap?s o nascimento dos filhotes, principalmente nos MRs. O perfil longitudinal dos andr?genos flutuou mais em resposta aos encontros agonistas e contextos de c?pulas do que o cortisol. A excre??o basal m?dia de cortisol e andr?genos foi significativamente maior nos MRs e parecem refletir o maior envolvimento destes em contextos de territorialidade, vigil?ncia e guarda da parceira no grupo social. Correla??es positivas significativas foram detectadas entre a freq??ncia de comportamentos agon?sticos e os horm?nios cortisol e andr?genos. Estes resultados descrevem pela primeira vez o perfil comportamental associado ao perfil hormonal de machos de C. jacchus vivendo em grupos silvestres e sugerem que o macho reprodutor ? mais responsivo tanto comportamental como hormonalmente a din?mica do grupo social
