Gesture Studies, 2012
We describe the gestural communication of wild chimpanzees in the evolutionarily urgent context of consortship. Consortship represented the dominant context for the use of gestural communication by adult males in the Sonso community. Gesturing provided consorting males with the opportunity to communicate their intentions to the female, while avoiding ...

Female cooperation, consortship maintenance, and male mating success in savanna baboons
Animal Behaviour, 1995Abstract The role of female choice as a potential mechanism influencing male reproductive success in non-human primates is unclear. Few systematic studies have explicitly evaluated how female reproductive tactics modify male mating success. A 19-month field study of savanna baboons, Papio cynocephalus , was undertaken in Kenya in order to document ...

Correlates of Male Consortship Rate in Free-Ranging Rhesus Macaques (Macaca mulatta)
International Journal of Primatology, 2013Male–male competition for access to receptive females can take the form of nonrecurring fights and/or a sustained contest over mating opportunities. Male physical condition has been linked to dominance rank and reproductive success in species characterized by intrasexual fights for dominance and access to females.

Mate selection, consortship formation, and reproductive tactics in adult female savanna baboons
Primates, 1991Mate selection is a proximate mechanism influencing the probability that two individuals will engage in reproductive activity. The degree to which mate selection by female savanna baboons (Papio cynocephalus anubis) affects consortship formation and the characteristics of males that they prefer to mate with were analyzed based upon a 19-month study in ...

Consortships and conceptions in captive rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta)
Primates, 1990A captive group of rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) was observed during the breeding season to determine if consortship behavior, rather than promiscuous matings, resulted in higher reproductive success for either partner. The 38 adult females in this group were observed “in consort” with the 5 adult or 4 subadult males on 179 occasions.

Courtship behaviour in Japanese macaques during heterosexual and homosexual consortships
Behavioural Processes, 2008Female Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata) in the Arashiyama population near Kyoto, Japan, are unusual, in that they exhibit what many would consider to be male-typical sexual characteristics. Specifically, they mount other females within the context of temporary, but exclusive, sexual relationships (i.e., homosexual consortships) and they sometimes ...

Extra-Group Sexual Consortship in the Tana River Red Colobus (Procolobus rufomitratus) ?
Folia Primatologica, 2002Sexual consortship in primates was originally defined by Carpenter [1942] as an adult male and an ovulating female forming an association with a high degree of reciprocal interaction and rapport, embedded in a multi-male, multi-female primate group.

Inter‐Mount Social Interactions During Heterosexual and Homosexual Consortships in Japanese Macaques
Ethology, 2008AbstractIn this study, we examined whether female Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata) exhibited male‐typical patterns of inter‐mountsocialbehaviour during homosexual consortships. Data were collected on heterosexual and homosexual consortships from a population of free‐ranging Japanese macaques in Arashiyama, Japan. Inter‐mount intervals were defined as

'Pop' Goes the Dolphin: a Vocalization Male Bottlenose Dolphins Produce During Consortships
Behaviour, 1996Abstract Studies of dolphin communication have been hindered by the difficulty of localizing sounds underwater and thus identifying vocalizing individuals. Male bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops sp.; speckled form) in Shark Bay, Western Australia produce a vocalization we call 'pops'.
