Behavioural and endocrine correlates to the mating system of the aardwolf Proteles cristata
@inproceedings{Marneweck2013BehaviouralAE, title={Behavioural and endocrine correlates to the mating system of the aardwolf Proteles cristata}, author={D. Marneweck}, year={2013} }
Mating systems are classifications of the outcome of individual strategies aimed at maximising reproductive success. These systems have two components; one describes how individuals socially relate and bond to mating partners and the other describes the genetic outcome of actual mating activities. Reproductive activity is under strong endocrine and behavioural regulation where inter-sexual discrepancies in the regulation of reproductive success have resulted in the majority of mammal species… CONTINUE READING
