During the mating season, males become extremely aggressive, and women are based on several tactics to defend themselves. including all sexual relations at the same time. The "Battle of the Sexes," the phrase literally applies Assam macaques South Asia.
Part of this may be the frustration of playing -- because females do not show signs of fertility and her partner at all points of their menstrual cycle, there is never a guarantee that sex will lead to the design. The mating season lasts from October to January, and men tend to be more aggressive as the season progresses. This is the basic situation of Assam macaques living in the populations of some three dozen monkeys, of which there are a dozen of each adult male and female.
Despite their aggressive mating season, male macaques Assam, in fact become very good father, though a bit "involuntarily. And men actually do most of the responsibilities of parents. Unlike species in which every parent knows what her son, male macaques are not going around killing the young of other males. This leads to serious confusion in men who have children, and that has benefits serious for women and the population as a whole.
But this only works if all men are not sure about the paternity of their children. This is where the dominant alpha male complicate matters -- should be able to intimidate and control other people so they can monopolize several females, which means you need to know to make sure your child is.
By studying one of the crew macaques in Thailand, found that women tend to mate together at the same time. The alpha male, of course, you could choose a mate, leaving all the other women are free to find other partners. Researchers at the University of German Gttingen decided to solve this mystery and find an answer really impressive. Every day, the females are ready to have sex all or they were not.
And "something" fascinating cooperative behavior, and lead researcher Agnes Frtbauer believe that women developed specifically for this strategy to ensure that all partners can take over without risking the wrath of the alpha male, not to talk about men taking a incentive to care for children. Basically, the group of sex crazy build social harmony. at least among the macaques.
