Phenotypic correlates of male reproductive success in western gorillas.

Journal of human evolution - 1 Apr 2012

Breuer Thomas, Robbins Andrew M, Boesch Christophe, Robbins Martha M

Abstract excerpt

Sexual selection is thought to drive the evolution of sexually dimorphic traits that increase male reproductive success. Despite a large degree of sexual dimorphism among haplorhine primates, phenotypic traits that may influence the reproductive success of males are largely unstudied due to long...
