Male–female mating tactics and paternity of wild Japanese Macaques (Macaca fuscata yakui)
View through CrossRef
AbstractFor Japanese macaques, visits by nontroop males (NTMs) often diminish the immediate copulation success of high‐ranking males, although few studies have conducted a genetic analysis to show their contribution to the gene pool. I used noninvasively collected samples of semen, blood, urine and feces for the analysis of paternity in nine offspring born in two troops living on the island of Yakushima, Japan. I found that five of the nine offspring were sired by NTMs. It is argued that social change, small troop size and the timing of conception are all factors contributing to the NTM's reproductive success.

Troop Takeover and Reproductive Success of Wild Male Japanese Macaques on Yakushima Island (Macaca fuscata yakui)
Troop takeover is common in one-male primate groups, but there are few reports in multimale groups. Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata) form multimale groups and males commonly join...
