The common marmoset is a New World monkey. It originally lived on the Northeastern coast of Brazil, in the states of Piaui, Paraiba, Ceará, Rio Grande do Norte, Pernambuco, Alagoas and Bahia. Through release of captive individuals, it has expanded its range since the 1920s to Southeast Brazil and became there an invasive species, raising concerns about genetic pollution of similar species such as the buffy-tufted marmoset and predation upon bird nestlings and eggs.
