The efficacy of female choice in chimpanzees of the Taï Forest, Côte d’Ivoire (2006, methodology): “These tests were supplemented by laboratory hormonal analyses of urine samples for ovulation based on a sustained PdG rise (see Deschner et al. 2003).”
Does promiscuous mating preclude female choice? Female sexual strategies in chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes verus) of the Taï National Park, Côte d’Ivoire (2005, methodology): “These tests were supplemented by laboratory hormonal analyses of urine samples for ovulation based on a sustained PdG rise (see Deschner et al. 2003).”
Sexual coercion by male chimpanzees shows that female choice may be more apparent than real (2011, background): “%) between 2 and 5 days before the end of swelling, designated D-2 to D-5 289 if D0 is the first day of detumescence (Deschner et al. 2003; Emery Thompson 2005; 290 Emery Thompson & Wrangham 2008).”
Sexual Skin Color Contains Information About the Timing of the Fertile Phase in Free-ranging Macaca mulatta (2009, unknown): “1993) and to account for life span of the oocyte (Deschner et al. 2003; France 1981; Higham et al. 2008), we defined the most likely 2 d of ovulation as days –2/–3 relative to the defined PdG rise (Fig.”
Non‐Advertized does not Mean Concealed: Body Odour Changes across the Human Menstrual Cycle (2006, background): “Sexual swellings are related to ovulation (e.g. Deschner et al. 2003), correlate with female sexual proceptivity (e.g. Wallis 1992) and are found to be attractive to males (Hrdy & Whitten 1987).”
Determinants of male reproductive success in wild long-tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis)—male monopolisation, female mate choice or post-copulatory mechanisms? (2006, background): “If studies were focused on the fertile phase, assessment of this period had to rely on secondary markers like sexual swellings that have only limited value (Nunn 1999b; Reichert et al. 2002; Deschner et al. 2003; Engelhardt et al. 2005).”
Conflict and Cooperation in Wild Chimpanzees (2005, background): “Hormonal studies of wild (Deschner et al., 2003; Emery Thompson, in press) and captive (Emery and Whitten, 2003; Graham, 1982) females indicate that ovulation consistently occurs during the last six days of maximal swelling, and most frequently (though not exclusively) in the two days prior to…”
