Female–female aggression around mating: an extra cost of sociality in a multimale primate society (2011, background): “In an attempt to fill this gap, more recent work has clarified some of the selective pressures underpinning the evolution of female secondary sexual characters, namely male choosiness and female intrasexual competition over reproductive resources (Clutton-Brock 2009; Watson and Simmons 2010).”
Social competition and its consequences in female mammals (2013, background): “425 Eviction commonly exposes emigrants to substantial risks and can raise 426 cortisol levels and induce abortion in pregnant evictees (Young et al. 2006, Young 427 2009, Gilchrist 2006, Clutton-Brock 2009b).”
Dietary protein mediates a trade-off between larval survival and the development of male secondary sexual traits (2013, background): “A special class of adult reproductive traits that has been of considerable interest to evolutionary biologists are secondary sexual traits, which are typically expressed exclusively by males, but also found in females in some species (Clutton-Brock 2009).”
