“Mothers know best”: Female primates promote proximity among their offsprings’ paternal relatives using phenotype matching

2022-02-17

Abstract excerpt

Kin discrimination is a key process structuring social relationships in animals. We show how it may be generalized to entail discrimination towards non-kin, and provide a first example of this process in a primate. In mandrills, we recently demonstrated increased facial resemblance among paternally-related females indicating adaptive opportunities for paternal kin recognition. Here, we argue that mothers use offsp...
