On the evolution of sexual receptivity in female primates

2019-08-07

Abstract excerpt

There has been much interest in the evolutionary forces responsible for, and underlying the diversity in, female primate reproductive cycles. Some primate species are like humans, sexually receptive to mating throughout their entire estrus cycle, while other species are the opposite, receptive for mere hours out of their several-week cycles. Why is there such prominent variation in sexual receptivity length among...
