Risk-prone hunting by chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) increases during periods of high diet quality (2007, unknown): “…ano-genital swelling (Goodall 1986; Wallis 1997), and the number of such “swollen” females in a chimpanzee party is correlated with fruit abundance (Wrangham 2002) and party size (Stanford et al. 1994; Matsumoto-Oda 1999; Anderson et al. 2002; Mitani et al. 2002; Emery Thompson and Wrangham…”
Severe Aggression Among Female Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii at Gombe National Park, Tanzania (2008, background): “She was also at a very early stage of her reproductive career, having only just started full sexual swellings and was thus relatively unattractive to adult males (Muller et al. 2006; Wrangham 2002).”
Social dynamics among females and their influence on social structure in an East African chimpanzee community (2013, unknown): “…females can socialize and exchange benefits like grooming free from the frequent harassment and aggression, both direct and indirect, that they receive when in larger parties with males (Arcadi & Wrangham 1999; Muller 2002; Wrangham 2002; Nishida 2003; Newton-Fisher 2006; Otali & Gilchrist 2006).”
The self-domestication hypothesis: evolution of bonobo psychology is due to selection against aggression (2012, background): “Male aggression towards females can also be severe and costly for females, partly as a sexually coercive tactic (Muller 2002; Wrangham 2002; Muller et al. 2007; Muller & Wrangham 2009).”
Sexual coercion by male chimpanzees shows that female choice may be more apparent than real (2011, background): “Parous females, who are more attractive to males 135 (Tutin 1979, Wrangham 2002, Muller et al. 2006), receive higher rates of male 136 aggression during maximal swelling than do less attractive nulliparous females (Muller et 137 al.”
Conflict and Cooperation in Wild Chimpanzees (2005, background): “This includes aggressive interference in copulations and herding by mate‐guarding males (Goodall, 1986; Watts, 1998; Wrangham, 2002).”
Grouping Patterns and Competition Among Female Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii at Ngogo, Kibale National Park, Uganda (2008, unknown): “However, for anestrous females, the costs of being in large parties with many males, such as received aggression from males (Nishida 2003; Otali and Gilchrist 2006; Wrangham 2002), may outweigh the benefit even when fruit supply is high.”
The efficacy of female choice in chimpanzees of the Taï Forest, Côte d’Ivoire (2006, background): “In addition, lengthier and more numerous estrous cycles of Taï chimpanzees compared to eastern subspecies (e.g., Wrangham 2002) lead to the prediction that female choice may be more effective in this subspecies.”
Dominance, aggression and testosterone in wild chimpanzees: a test of the ‘challenge hypothesis’ (2004, methodology): “However, towards the end of the follicular phase, when ovulation occurs, aggressive competition over parous females is intense (Watts 1998; Wrangham 2002).”
