Male morphological traits are heritable but do not predict reproductive success in a sexually-dimorphic primate.

Scientific reports - 24 Dec 2019

Kimock Clare M, Dubuc Constance, Brent Lauren J N, Higham James P

Abstract excerpt

Sexual selection favours traits that increase reproductive success via increased competitive ability, attractiveness, or both. Male rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) morphological traits are likely to reflect the effects of multiple sexual selection pressures. Here, we use a quantitative genetic approach to investigate the production and maintenance of variation in male rhesus macaque morphometric traits which may...
