Determinants of Paternity Success in a Group of Captive Vervet Monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops sabaeus) [PDF]

International Journal of Primatology, 2010
Paternity success of high-ranking primate males is affected by the number of males and the number of fertile females and their cycle synchrony. Female vervets in the wild show strong reproductive seasonality and do not advertise the ovulatory period with conspicuous signals or behavior.
