Abstract	We investigated the potential use of call playback for surveying the elusive golden-backed uakari (Cacajao melanocephalus), a diurnal social primate that typically inhabits the relatively inaccessible black-water swamp forests of the upper Amazon (Igapó forest) during the wet season. Furthermore, our objective was to understand better the functions of vocalisations of these rare and threatened monkeys. We focussed on the 'tchó' call, a loud vocalisation that varies in temporal and frequency characteristics according to behavioural context and individual signaller (Bezerra et al. in Int J Primatol, 2010b). We investigated the vocal and behavioural responses of golden-backed uakaris from three Igapó areas to three different playback stimuli: own group calls (OGC); neighbouring group calls (NGC); and control (background noise). The call stimuli were used to simulate the unexpected presence of monkeys from the monkeys' own and neighbouring Igapó areas. Playback of OGC and NGC increased calling and altered behaviour in golden-backed uakaris, whereas no noticeable response occurred to the control stimuli. Furthermore, there was no evidence of habituation to the call stimuli and the natural behavioural pattern of the groups was not obviously affected. Hence, call playback seems to be a valuable tool for locating these elusive monkeys in river surveys. Most of the agonistic-related behaviour observed after NGC playback was also observed after OGC playback. As golden-backed uakaris are not territorial, the presence of strange conspecifics to the area may not necessarily represent a more threatening situation. Our methods and results may also be useful for surveys of other primate species living in the Igapó forest and in other habitat types.
