Serum and urine analytes were compared between two karyotypes of owl monkey, Aotus nancymae and A. vociferans , to determine if normative clinical pathology data obtained from one karyotype were applicable to the other. Statistically significant differences ( P ≤ 0.05) were noted in serum calcium, serum phosphorus, serum sodium, serum potassium, serum urea nitrogen, urine calcium, calcium clearance, and fractional clearance of calcium between the two karyotypes. The results suggest that A. vociferans regulate calcium‐phosphorus and electrolyte homeostasis in a manner different from that of A. nancymae.
