Male bonobo mating strategies target female fertile windows despite noisy ovulatory signals during sexual swelling Fertility signals such as anogenital swelling in primates, are assumed to play a key role in the evolution of intersexual dynamics. This study in bonobos shows that, despite noisy female fertility signals, males adjust their mating effort to cover ovulatory windows, challenging the social function of these signals.

#sexualconflict in action: #bonobo males successful in tracking female probability of conception despite their extended sexual swellings being confusing in relation to #ovulation

If asexuals are doomed💀 but sex is costly⚡️ Why aren’t flexible strategies more common? 🤷‍♀️ Maybe it’s a trap!

We review #SexualConflict in facultative parthenogens 🐛🕷️🦐🦎 and how it might help explain the paradox of sex

A nice account of primatologists focused on #female strategies: Sarah #Hrdy and Amy #Parish, stretching from 70s to 90s to today (this is not new! And leaves out Kristen Hawkes).

Sarah ought to be a household name in human origins research. She has led the gender rethink.
