Maternal cannibalism in two populations of wild chimpanzees
Maternal cannibalism has been reported in several animal taxa, prompting speculations that the behavior may be part of an evolved strategy. In chimpanzees, however, maternal cannibalism has been conspicuously absent, despite high levels of infant mortality and reports of non-maternal cannibalism. The typical response of chimpanzee mothers is to abandon their deceased infant, sometimes after prolonged periods of carrying and grooming the corpse. H…
Intra-community infanticide in wild, eastern chimpanzees
Infanticide is well documented in chimpanzees and various hypotheses have been proposed to explain this behavior. However, since infanticide by chimpanzees is relatively rare, it has thus far not been possible to thoroughly test these hypotheses. Here we present an analysis of the largest dataset of infanticides from a single community of chimpanzees, a full record of all intra-community infanticides and failed attempts at infanticide over a 24-y…
Countering infanticide
OBJECTIVES: Infanticide by males is common in mammals. According to the sexual selection hypothesis, the risk is inversely related to infant age because the older the infant, the less infanticide can shorten lactational amenorrhea; risk is also predicted to increase when an infanticidal male's chance of siring the replacement infant is high. Infanticide occurs in chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes), a species in which male dominance rank predicts pater…
Homosexuality, Biosocial Theories of
The biological basis of homosexuality is the subject of ongoing investigations. Researchers in this field explore potential causes through two complementary approaches. On the one hand, there is a focus on mechanisms that generate the trait (proximate causes), with evidence for a multifacetted influence of genes and intrauterine hormones. On the other hand, researchers also consider the functions that might have favored the evolution of homosexua…
Infanticide
The killing of immature conspecifics (fetuses, infants, children, dependent offspring) by adult males or females, both unrelated and related, is not an uncommon occurrence among human and nonhuman animal societies. Although not universally accepted, adaptationist approaches attempt to explain why infanticide may provide a reproductive benefit to the perpetrator. These hypotheses focus on resource competition (improving access to food or care for …
