Journal Article

We present 12 years of perineal swelling data for a semifree-ranging colony of mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx), and evaluate the influence of rank, parity, and seasonality on reproductive parameters. Female sexual swellings showed a seasonal pattern, w... Read More about Social and seasonal influences on the reproductive cycle in female mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx)..

Sequences and timing of dental eruption in mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx). (2004)
Journal Article

The chronology of tooth emergence is often used to examine the growth and development of individuals and to compare life histories across species. Emergence patterns are also used to age animals and to infer life history influences for extinct specie... Read More about Sequences and timing of dental eruption in mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx)..

Sexual swellings in mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx): a test of the reliable indicator hypothesis (2004)
Journal Article

Various hypotheses have been proposed to account for the function of sexual swellings in female primates, but few empirical data exist to test predictions arising from these hypotheses. Controversy has recently arisen over a field study that appeared... Read More about Sexual swellings in mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx): a test of the reliable indicator hypothesis.
