Secondary sexual characters and female quality in primates. (2006)
Journal Article
Setchell, J., Charpentier, M., Bedjabaga, I., Reed, P., Wickings, E., & Knapp, L. (2006). Secondary sexual characters and female quality in primates. Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 61(2), 305-315. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00265-006-0260-7

Honest advertisement models of sexual selection propose that exaggerated secondary sexual ornaments are condition-dependent, and that only individuals with superior disease resistance will be able to express costly ornamentation. Studies of secondary... Read More about Secondary sexual characters and female quality in primates..

Haematology of a semi-free-ranging colony of mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx). (2006)
Journal Article
Setchell, J., Tshipamba, P., Bourry, O., Rouquet, P., Wickings, E., & Knapp, L. (2006). Haematology of a semi-free-ranging colony of mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx). International Journal of Primatology, 27(6), 1709-1729

We examined hematological parameters for a semifree-ranging population of mandrills to investigate the influence of age and sex, and to establish normative values for age-sex classes. We also investigated the influence of the reproductive cycle on he... Read More about Haematology of a semi-free-ranging colony of mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx)..

Life history in male mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx): Physical development, dominance rank, and group association (2006)
Journal Article
Setchell, J., Wickings, E., & Knapp, L. (2006). Life history in male mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx): Physical development, dominance rank, and group association. American journal of physical anthropology, 131(4), 498 - 510. https://doi.org/10.1002/ajpa.20478

We assess life history from birth to death in male mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx) living in a semifree-ranging colony in Gabon, using data collected for 82 males that attained at least the age of puberty, including 33 that reached adulthood and 25 tha...

Signal content of red facial coloration in female mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx) (2006)
Journal Article
Setchell, J., Wickings, E., & Knapp, L. (2006). Signal content of red facial coloration in female mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx). Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 273(1599), 2395 - 2400. https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2006.3573

Studies of secondary sexual ornamentation and its maintenance by sexual selection tend to focus on males; however, females may also possess showy ornaments. For example, female mandrills possess facial coloration that ranges from black to bright pink... Read More about Signal content of red facial coloration in female mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx).

Philopatry and reproductive success in Bornean orang-utans (Pongo pygmaeus) (2006)
Journal Article
Goossens, B., Setchell, J., James, S., Funk, S., Chikhi, L., Abulani, A., …Bruford, M. (2006). Philopatry and reproductive success in Bornean orang-utans (Pongo pygmaeus). Molecular Ecology, 15(9), 2577-2588. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-294x.2006.02952.x

Behavioural observations suggest that orang-utans are semi-solitary animals with females being philopatric and males roaming more widely in search of receptive partners, leading to the prediction that females are more closely related than males at an...

Violent coalitionary attack by female mandrills against an injured alpha male. (2006)
Journal Article
Setchell, J., Knapp, L., & Wickings, E. (2006). Violent coalitionary attack by female mandrills against an injured alpha male. American Journal of Primatology, 68(4), 411 - 418. https://doi.org/10.1002/ajp.20234

Female contact aggression against males is relatively rare in species in which the adult males are larger than the females, but it has the potential to influence group structure, male group membership, tenure, and dominance rank. We report an inciden... Read More about Violent coalitionary attack by female mandrills against an injured alpha male..

Life-history correlates of inbreeding depression in mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx). (2006)
Journal Article
Charpentier, M., Setchell, J., Prugnolle, F., Wickings, E., Peignot, P., Balloux, F., & Hossaert-McKey, M. (2006). Life-history correlates of inbreeding depression in mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx). Molecular Ecology, 15, 21-28

Inbreeding depression reflects the negative consequences of increased homozygosity at genes that affect fitness. We investigate inbreeding depression in a semi-free-ranging colony of mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx), using high-quality pedigree data, co...

Mate choice in male mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx) (2006)
Journal Article
Setchell, J., & Wickings, E. (2006). Mate choice in male mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx). Ethology: international journal of behavioural biology, 112(1), 91-99. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1439-0310.2006.01128.x

Male primates that attempt to monopolize access to receptive females by mate-guarding expend time and energy and risk injury, making reproduction costly. Males should therefore show mate choice and preferentially allocate mating effort to females tha... Read More about Mate choice in male mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx).
