Environmental temperatures are among the most significant factors affecting the ecology, behaviour, and evolution of organisms across all levels of biological organization. As such, understanding the impacts that natural thermal regimes have on organisms is central to the study …
For over 40 years, the sexual selection hypothesis of infanticide has sparked primatological interest in the evolutionary basis of this presumptively adaptive behavior. Infanticide by males has been largely accepted as a reproductive strategy in that when a new dominant sire kil…
