We tested whether gouging by Callithrix jacchus affects tree survival. The proportion of dead gouged trees was higher than the proportion of dead non‐gouged trees, with larger effects on smaller trees. The number of holes did not affect tree survival. Tree‐gouging by marmosets may enhance forest turnover. Abstract in Portuguese is available with online material.
