本文（1）描述了在蓝猴（Cercopithecus mitis stuhlmanni）中首次观察到的雄性替代和杀雄的现象，（2）根据为解释杀雄而提出的假说对这些观察结果进行了检验，（3）提出了两个基本模型，通过这些模型提出了其他假说。在乌干达Kibale森林观察了5组蓝猴2，724小时。蓝猴中的杀鼠剂模式与生活在单雄性双性恋群体中的其他灵长类动物的报告惊人地相似。关于蓝猴中的阿托西汀的数据不支持阿托西汀是一种适应不良的行为病理学的假设。这些数据间接地支持了这样一个假设，即杀鼠剂是新后宫男性灵活的、适应性的生殖策略的一部分。根据模型一，解释杀害儿童如何适应犯罪者的两个假设并不相互排斥。模型二表明，杀婴率与雄性对雌性的竞争直接相关，与后宫雄性的任期长度间接相关。模式一和模式二强调了了解哪些变量决定了女性的保有权长度的重要性。它是coccluded男性任期的长度是最有可能的包容性健身不仅对男性，而且对女性的一个关键决定因素。
This paper (1) describes the first observations of male replacement and infanticide in the blue monkey (Cercopithecus mitis stuhlmanni), (2) examines these observations in light of those hypotheses put forth to explain infanticide, and (3) presents two basic models through which additional hypotheses are developed. Five groups of blue monkeys were observed for 2,724 hr in the Kibale Forest, Uganda. The pattern of infanticide in the blue monkey was strikingly similar to that reported for other species of primates living in one‐male bisexual groups. Data concerning infanticide in the blue monkey do not support the hypothesis that infanticide is a maladaptive behavioral pathology. The data indirectly support the hypothesis that infanticide is part of a flexible, adaptive reproductive strategy of new harem‐males. According to Model I, two of the hypothese for explaining how infanticide may be adaptive to the perpetrator are not mutually exclusive. Model II suggests that the rate of infanticide is directly related to competition among males for females and indirectly related to tenure length of harem‐males. Models I and II underscore the importance of understanding what variables determine tenure length in haremmales. It is cocluded that length of male tenure is most likely a critical determinant of inclusive fitness not only for males but also for females.
