Intersexual dominance relations are important for female mammals, because of their consequences accessing food and the degree sexual control females experience from males. Female mammals usually considered to rank below males in hierarchy, typical physical inferiority. Yet, some groups or species, nonetheless dominant over dominance, therefore, also depends on traits other than dimorphism, such as social support, exchange, group adult sex-ratio widespread self-reinforcing effects winning...
Sexual traits can serve as honest indicators of phenotypic quality when they are costly. Brightly coloured yellow to red traits, which pigmented by carotenoids, relatively common in birds, and feature sexual selection. Carotenoids have been linked immune antioxidant function, the trade-off between ornamentation these physiological functions provides a potential mechanism rendering carotenoid based signals Mutual is also birds be maintained mutual mate choice for this ornament or correlated...
Cooperation based on mutual investments can occur between unrelated individuals when they are engaged in repeated interactions. Individuals then need to use a conditional strategy deter their interaction partners from defecting. Responding defection such that the future payoff of defector is reduced relative cooperating with it called partner control mechanism. Three main mechanisms (i) switch cooperation being defected ('positive reciprocity'), (ii) actively reduce defecting ('punishment'),...
Abstract Animals often have a limited time to perform different fitness‐enhancing activities, such as the trade‐off between socializing versus foraging in group‐living species. Many previous studies focused on how ecological and social factors influence activity budget at individual or group level various However, few primate multiple study groups living within similar habitat. Here, we analyse group, season sex effects of wild vervet monkeys ( Chlorocebus pygerythrus ) four with overlapping...
Abstract Background Up until the present, pyrethroid-treated bed nets have been a key tool for vector control in fight against malaria. A global system that sets standards and facilitates procurement has successfully driven down price of these to enable more them be distributed. As result their mass rollout, malaria cases significantly reduced, but pyrethroid resistance is now widespread. Going forward, new insecticides continue developed use on nets, it unclear how best deploy maximum...
