Genetic monogamy and mate choice in a pair-living primate.

Scientific reports - 23 Nov 2020

Dolotovskaya Sofya, Roos Christian, Heymann Eckhard W

Abstract excerpt

In pair-living mammals, genetic monogamy is extremely rare. One possible reason is that in socially monogamous animals, mate choice can be severely constrained, increasing the risk of inbreeding or pairing with an incompatible or low-quality partner. To escape these constraints, individuals might engage in extra-pair copulations. Alternatively, inbreeding can be avoided by dispersal. However, little is known...
