Male bonding

Abstract

Male bonding is the phenomenon that among co‐residing adult males certain dyads develop affiliate relationships that are stronger, more equitable, and longer lasting than others. Male bonding occurs both in male philopatric and in male dispersal primate species. The evolution of male bonding can be linked to the evolution of rank‐changing within‐group coalitions, because males preferentially form coalitions with partners they are closely bonded with and they can rely on. The social support provided by male bonding can convey a buffer against social and environmental stress and can increase male reproductive success by promoting the attainment and the maintenance of high social status.

“…Particle size defines the difference between the droplet and aerosol transmission. Droplets are discharged with a diameter wider than 5 or [4] , [5] . These particles are believed to obey a semi-ballistic path and settle within about 1–2 meters of the person who discharged them.…”

“…The virus that causes COVID-19, according to specialists, transmits primarily through person-to-person contact. Respiratory diseases could be spread by aerosols of varying sizes: respiratory droplets are greater than 5–10 μm in diameter, while droplet nuclei are less than 5 μm in diameter [ 3 ]. According to existing information, the COVID-19 virus is largely spread between humans via respiratory droplets and interactions [ [4] , [5] , [6] , [7] , [8] ].…”
