Social drivers of maturation age in female geladas

In social animals, reproductive maturation can be accelerated by nutritional advantages or the arrival of suitable mates. In geladas, the immigration of un

Check out our newest paper on female sexual signals! Here we find more evidence that female facial coloration in rhesus macaques likely evolved (in part) via male mate choice. 🐵
