Hylobates lar
White handed gibbon
1 of 21

25% polyandry, territory overlap, divorce of pairs, EPC
2 of 21
Species of gibbon with polygyny
Hylobates pileatus
3 of 21
The intesnity of the male gibbon code
Signals fitness of the f and M holding powe
4 of 21
Why do gibbons have low levels f aggression between groups
High levels of relatedness between groups
5 of 21
Ontogenesis
Individual development
6 of 21
precocial
When born the infant can move around on its own, advanced
7 of 21
Altricial carried
when born the infant cannot move around on its own, very vulnerable, carried by mother or allomother

When female infertile when lactating

Fast breeding
MacArthur and E.O Wilson, 1967
14 of 21
Slow breeding
Piank, 1970
15 of 21
Fast breeding
unpredictable environment, not limited by K only by r,
16 of 21
slow breeding
stable environment, limited by K not r
17 of 21
Why are humans altricial
extra uterine pregnancy, babies brain is too big, has to be born early even though are K selected
18 of 21
why is sex ratio male biased
more M miscrriages, fewer repair mechanisms for males, a less fit male will not go to term
19 of 21
Trivers and Willard hypothesis, 1973
high ranking female have more resources than low ranking, so favour expensive sons
20 of 21
Local resource competitionn, Silk et al., 1981
matrilocal, rank inherited on matrilines, high ranking F have more F offspring
