Male orang-utan bimaturism and reproductive success at Camp Leakey in Tanjung Puting National Park, Indonesia

Abstract: Unlike most mammals, male orang-utans exhibit bimaturism, in that mature individuals express one of two distinct morphological forms. Socially subordinate, 'unflanged' males are comparable to females in their size and facial morphology, while socially dominant 'flanged' males exhibit extreme sexual dimorphism and secondary sexual characteristics, primarily in the form of cheek pads ('flanges'). Although male ornaments in other species are often phenotypically plastic, such characteristics in orang-utans are ir… Show more

“…Unflanged males are in a state of delayed maturation. However, both male morphs are fertile, sexually active, and sire offspring (Banes, Galdikas, & Vigilant, ; Goossens et al, ; Kingsley, ; Maggioncalda, ; Utami et al, ). They do, however, pursue different sexual strategies.…”
