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 life spans and the difficulties in quantifying such traits non-invasively. Here we employ digital photogrammetry of...
