Sexual conflict in primates

Abstract: Sexual conflict is increasingly recognized as a major force for evolutionary change and holds great potential for delineating variation in primate behavior and morphology. The goals of this review are to highlight the rapidly rising field of sexual conflict and the ongoing shift in our understanding of interactions between the sexes. We discuss the evidence for sexual conflict within the Order Primates, and assess how studies of primates have illuminated and can continue to increase our understanding of sexual… Show more

“…In recent decades, variation in social factors, such as variation in the distribution of females, has been studied primarily in the context of mating system evolution. Sexual conflict theory [146] provides a more recent example of considering interdependencies in social behaviour, in this case between males and females [147,148]. Moreover, kin selection theory has been rstb.royalsocietypublishing.org Phil Trans R Soc B 368: 20120337 successful in explaining interindividual differences in social behaviour as a function of the presence of close kin [35,149].…”

“…Because reproductive fitness depends on the immunological acceptance of certain foreign cells (i.e., sperm), females are particularly susceptible to microbes, including pathogens via their reproductive tracts. The close interaction between sex, reproduction, and evolution presupposes that selective pressures on vaginal ecology must be considerable and that coevolutionary relationships between females and microbiota are expected Stumpf et al, 2011). Evidence for the influences of reproductive tract microbiota on health, fecundity and pregancy outcomes is widespread (Hill, 1993;Koumans and Kendrick, 2001;Johansson and Lycke, 2003;Leitich, 2005;Schwebke and Desmond, 2005;Schwebke, 2005;Steer, 2005;Heath and Schuchat, 2007;Leitich and Kiss, 2007;.…”

“…A third mechanism, intersexual or mating confl ict, operates when the mating interests of males and females or their consequences to each sex diverge (Muller and Wrangham 2009 ). The most obvious forms of mating confl ict involve males sexually coercing females through physical attacks, intimidation, harassment, sequestering, forced copulation, copulation interruption, and infanticide (Smuts and Smuts 1993 ;van Schaik and Janson 2000 ;van Schaik et al 2004 ;Muller et al 2009 ;Watson-Capps 2009 ;Stumpf et al 2011 ).…”

“…Formerly considered a form of intrasexual selection via male-male competition, infanticide is currently seen as a mechanism of male sexual coercion, a form of intersexual confl ict (van Schaik and Janson 2000 ; Clarke et al 2009 ;Stumpf et al 2011 ;Palombit 2012 ). The risk of infanticide is seen as the driving force of the evolution of female counterstrategies (Palombit 2012 ).…”
