Mate guarding and paternity in mandrills: factors influencing alpha male monopoly (2005, background): “As for male rhesus macaques (Widdig et al. 2004), yellow baboons (Alberts et al. 2003), blue monkeys, Cercopithecus mitis (Cords 2000), domestic cats, Felis catus (Say et al. 2001), and spotted hyaenas, Crocuta crocuta (Engh et al. 2002), these data for mandrills provide more support for limited or…”
Constraints on control: factors influencing reproductive success in male mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx) (2005, positive): “…the RS of high-ranking males (Barton and Simpson, 1992; Cowlishaw and Dunbar, 1991; van Noordwijk and van Schaik, 2004), showing generally that mate guarding by the dominantmalemay become less effective whenmoremales are present (Alberts et al., 2003; in macaquesMacaca sinica: Keane et al., 1997).”
Sexual Selection in Primates: Mating conflict in primates: infanticide, sexual harassment and female sexuality (2004, positive): “…females are more actively polyandrous when the dominance situation among the high-ranking males is not stable (Samuels et al., 1984; van Noordwijk, 1985; Janson, fide Manson, 1995; Manson et al., 1997; Alberts et al., 2003) or when the single male in the group is weak (Agoramoorthy & Hsu, 2000).”
Female–female aggression around mating: an extra cost of sociality in a multimale primate society (2011, background): “…access to mating opportunities through social hierarchies have been extensively studied (e.g., Cowlishaw and Dunbar 1991) and are well described by the priority-of-access model (Altmann 1962; Alberts et al. 2003), the idea of corresponding patterns in females has been less often envisaged.”
Large males dominate: ecology, social organization, and mating system of wild cavies, the ancestors of the guinea pig (2008, background): “This sort of queuing behavior is described for several species (Baker et al. 1993; Alberts et al. 2003), also occurs in the domestic guinea pig (Sachser 1986), and might be a strategy of small males to obtain access to females.”
FACTORS MEDIATING INTER-GROUP ENCOUNTERS IN SAVANNAH BABOONS (PAPIO CYNOCEPHALUS URSINUS) (2004, background): “Packer, 1979b; Smith, 1986; Altmann et al., 1988, 1996; Bulger, 1993; Weingrill et al., 2000; Alberts et al., 2003 ), high-ranking males might be expected to be the most active in defending estrous females from extra-group males (Nunn, 2000; Nunn & Lewis, 2001).”
Comparative tests of reproductive skew in male primates: the roles of demographic factors and incomplete control (2006, neutral): “…in mating or reproductive success, but subordinates regularly reproduce (Altmann 1962; Cowlishaw and Dunbar 1991; Pemberton et al. 1992; Bulger 1993; Keane et al. 1994; Creel et al. 1997; Girman et al. 1997; Launhardt et al. 2001; Engh et al. 2002; Griffin et al. 2003; Alberts et al. 2003).”
Baboons eavesdrop to deduce mating opportunities (2007, positive): “If two or more females are in oestrus simultaneously, other males may also be able to form consortships, according to their relative ranks (Alberts et al. 2003).”
The ecology of conception and pregnancy failure in wild baboons (2006, background): “…data for members of these study groups cover more than 3 decades (e.g., Shopland 1987; Altmann et al. 1988; Pereira 1988; Alberts and Altmann 1995; Alberts et al. 1996, 2003; Altmann and Alberts 2003b; see http://www.princeton.edu/;baboon for a complete bibliography and the Baboon Project…”
Sexual selection in wild baboons: from mating opportunities to paternity success (2006, background): “We knew from previous work (Alberts et al. 2003) that a male's age and dominance rank affect mating success in this population , so we next examined the effects of these variables on paternity success.”
Age, musth and paternity success in wild male African elephants, Loxodonta africana (2007, background): “baboons, Papio cynocephalus ( Alberts et al. 2003, 2006 ), rhesus macaques, Macaca mulatta (Bercovitch et al. 2003), red deer, Cervus elaphus (Clutton-Brock et al. 1988), northern elephant seals, Mirounga angustirostris (Le Boeuf & Reiter 1988), fallow deer, Dama dama (McElligott & Hayden 2000; McEl”
Kin biased investment in wild chimpanzees (2006, background): “been suggested previously that the amount of time a male spends in proximity to a fertile female might be a strong predictor of paternity and could be used as such by males (Alberts et al., 2003; Buchan et al., 2003).”
Hedging their bets? Male and female chacma baboons form friendships based on likelihood of paternity (2010, background): “Male baboons show high reproductive skew (Bulger 1993; Alberts et al. 2003, 2006); dominant males monopolize the majority of consort opportunities and subordinate males’ mating success is largely determined by the number of simultaneously consorting females.”
Rank differences in energy intake rates in white-faced capuchin monkeys, Cebus capucinus: the effects of contest competition (2005, background): “…capuchin monkeys and Robinson 1981; long-tailed macaques: van Noordwijk and van Schaik 1987; brown capuchin monkeys: Janson 1990; olive baboons: Barton 1993) and the acquisition of mates (jungle fowl: Johnsen et al. 2001; savannah baboons: Alberts et al. 2003; bonobos: Illius et al. 2003).”
