Quantitative genetics of costly neonatal sexual size dimorphism in squirrel monkeys (Saimiri boliviensis).

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Apr 2013

Blomquist G E, Williams L E

Abstract excerpt

Offspring size is often an intimate link between the fitness of parents and offspring. Among mammals, neonate mass is also related to adult levels of dimorphism and intrasexual competitive mating. We describe the sex-specific genetic architecture of neonate mass in captive squirrel monkeys (Saimiri boliviensis), a small Neotropical primate. Best fitting quantitative genetic models show strong maternal genetic...
