Female behavioral strategies during consortship in Tibetan macaques ( Macaca thibetana ) [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Consortship has been defined as a temporary association between an adult male and an estrous/receptive female. It has been considered as male mating strategies to improve male mating success and potential reproductive success.

Social tolerance in a despotic primate: Co‐feeding between consortship partners in rhesus macaques [PDF]
American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 2012 AbstractFood sharing among nonkin—one of the most fascinating cooperative behaviors in humans—is not widespread in nonhuman primates. Over the past few years, a large body of work has investigated the contexts in which primates cooperate and share food with unrelated individuals. This work has successfully demonstrated that species‐specific differences

Peripheral oxytocin in female baboons relates to estrous state and maintenance of sexual consortships [PDF]
Hormones and Behavior, 2012 The neuro-hypophysial hormone oxytocin (OT) has been implicated in female reproductive and maternal behaviors and in the formation of pair bonds in monogamous species. Here we measure variation in urinary OT concentrations in relation to reproductive biology and socio-sexual behavior in a promiscuously breeding species, the chacma baboon (Papio ...

Identification of Follower Status Based on Male Proximity Score in Crested Macaque [PDF]
Hayati Journal of Biosciences, 2020 Crested macaque live in multimale-multifemale social groups where temporary association (consortship) typically occurs. Current theory and these limited qualitative observations suggest the hypothesis that behavior functions as a means for males to gain ...

Interactions Between Third Parties and Consortship Partners in Tonkean Macaques (Macaca tonkeana) [PDF]
International Journal of Primatology, 2011 Sexual competition is potentially disruptive for the cohesion of social groups because stress and conflicts can extend to other group members. The displays and interactions of sexual partners are liable to influence the behavior of group-mates, which may need to observe them to anticipate possible consequences.

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021 Growing evidence suggested that males suffer energetic costs from sexual behavior, males should discriminate among receptive females due to their reproductive quality, and deservedly, they would prefer females during the fertile phase.

Male aggression varies with consortship rate and habitat in a dolphin social network [PDF]
Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 2019 Coalitions and alliances exemplify the core elements of conflict and cooperation in animal societies. Ecological influences on alliance formation are more readily attributed to within-species variation where phylogenetic signals are muted. Remarkably, male Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins in Shark Bay, Western Australia, exhibit systematic spatial ...

Ovarian cycling and reproductive state shape the vaginal microbiota in wild baboons. [PDF]
Microbiome, 2017 Background: The vaginal microbiome is an important site of bacterial-mammalian symbiosis. This symbiosis is currently best characterized for humans, where lactobacilli dominate the microbial community and may help defend women against infectious disease.

In pop pursuit: social bond strength predicts vocal synchrony during cooperative mate guarding in bottlenose dolphins. [PDF]
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol SciVocal communication is an emblematic feature of group-living animals, used to share information and strengthen social bonds. Vocalizations are also used to coordinate group-level behaviours in many taxa, but little is known of the factors that may ...

Global Ecology and ConservationIn group-living animals, males’ fighting abilities were usually mediated via dominance rank to sort males into a queue to access fertile females, especially in non-human primates. However, the correlation between male reproductive success and consortship,
