Subordinate female cercopithecine primates often experience decreased reproductive success in comparison with high-ranking females, with a later age at sexual maturity and first reproduction and/or longer interbirth intervals. One explanation that ha... Read More about Factors affecting fecal glucocorticoid levels in semi-free-ranging female mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx).

Social correlates of testosterone and ornamentation in male mandrills (2008)
Journal Article
Setchell, J., Smith, T., Wickings, E., & Knapp, L. (2008). Social correlates of testosterone and ornamentation in male mandrills. Hormones and Behavior, 54(3), 365-372. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.yhbeh.2008.05.004

We investigated relationships between fecal androgen concentrations, facial coloration and behaviour in semi-free-ranging male mandrills. We found that fecal androgen levels were significantly positively related to dominance rank, independent of rank...

Canine tooth size and fitness in male mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx) (2008)
Journal Article
Leigh, S., Setchell, J., Charpentier, M., Knapp, L., & Wickings, E. (2008). Canine tooth size and fitness in male mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx). Journal of Human Evolution, 55(1), 75-85. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhevol.2008.01.001

Sexual selection theory explains the evolution of exaggerated male morphologies and weaponry, but the fitness consequences of developmental and age-related changes in these features remain poorly understood. This long-term study of mandrill monkeys (... Read More about Canine tooth size and fitness in male mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx).

Senescence rates are determined by ranking on the fast-slow life-history continuum (2008)
Journal Article
Jones, O., Gaillard, J., Tuljapurkar, S., Alho, J., Armitage, K., Becker, P., …Coulson, T. (2008). Senescence rates are determined by ranking on the fast-slow life-history continuum. Ecology Letters, 11(7), 664-673. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1461-0248.2008.01187.x

Comparative analyses of survival senescence by using life tables have identified generalizations including the observation that mammals senesce faster than similar-sized birds. These generalizations have been challenged because of limitations of life... Read More about Senescence rates are determined by ranking on the fast-slow life-history continuum.

Alternative reproductive tactics in primates (2008)
Book Chapter
Setchell, J. (2008). Alternative reproductive tactics in primates. In R. Oliveira, M. Taborsky, & H. Brockmann (Eds.), Alternative reproductive tactics : an integrative approach (373-398). Cambridge University Press

A wide diversity of reproductive strategies and alternative reproductive tactics (ARTs) have evolved to promote the reproductive success of individual male and female primates. Intraspecific variation in male mating strategies has received far more a... Read More about Alternative reproductive tactics in primates.
