生物体是物理和行为成分共同发展和共同进化的综合系统。一个领域的个体发生需求部分地通过另一个领域的先前或同时发展而得到满足。这项工作探索了两个灵长类群体中特有的生长模式如何与生态、社会和其他生活史限制相互作用,以促进特定系统的竞争关系的发展。首先,明显大小二态的稀树大草原狒狒与相对非二态的猕猴形成对比,在非二态猕猴中,雄性相对于雌性的青春期生长能力相对较小。在狒狒和其他二态鹦鹉中,成熟的雄性可能会在成功的取食竞争上投入更多资金,这一预测很好地解释了雄性-雌性优势关系个体发育中的已知变异。例如,来自五个最知名物种的数据表明,随着青春期时相对男性体型和生长潜力的增加,女性在青春期前提拔后代的倾向比男性同龄人占优势的倾向减弱。讨论了这种模式发展的潜在机制。接下来,环尾狐猴的个体发育被考虑,环尾狐猴是一种高度社会化、单形性的灵长类动物,在这种灵长类动物中,季节性的生长调度导致在断奶之前实现很大比例的成体大小。在这个物种中,女儿总是与她们的母亲发展强大的联盟,青春期的雌性必须推翻占主导地位的成年人才能保持在大的出生群体中。尽管环尾狐猴和局部鹦鹉的生活史有相似之处,但狐猴并不像猴子那样,以确保母系“继承”统治地位的方式痛苦地合作。体重和个体战斗能力似乎决定了婴儿之间的优势关系,在断奶前建立的不对称通常保持稳定,直到性成熟。解剖学和行为学数据表明,低视觉敏锐度阻碍了环尾狐猴形成一种激励性干预系统,这种系统可以稳定成年狐猴的优势等级,并调节等级遗传。无论如何,未能促进近亲的优势被认为广泛地影响了环尾狐猴的生活史进化,包括生长、生殖生物学和社会结构的方面。这些分析确定了未来研究的重点,并说明了双向效应和反馈在灵长类生活史和行为的发展和进化中的重要性。©1995 Wiley-Liss公司
Organisms are integrated systems whose physical and behavioral components codevelop and coevolve. Ontogenetic requirements in one domain are satisfied in part by prior or concurrent developments in another. This work explores how characteristic growth patterns in two primate groups interact with ecological, social, and other life‐history constraints to promote the development of particular systems of agonistic relationship. First, the markedly size‐dimorphic savanna baboons are contrasted with relatively nondimorphic macaques, where the pubertal growth capacity of males, relative to that of females, is comparatively modest. In baboons and other dimorphic Papionines, maturing males can be expected to invest more heavily in successful feeding competition, and known variation in the ontogeny of male‐female dominance relations is well explained by this prediction. Data from five of the best‐known species, for example, suggest that the female inclination to promote offspring dominaxice over male peers before puberty diminishes with increases in relative male size and growth potential at puberty. Potential mechanisms for the development of this pattern are discussed. Next, ontogenies are considered for ringtailed lemurs, a highly social, monomorphic prosimian primate in which seasonal scheduling of growth causes a large proportion of adult size to be achieved before weaning. In this species, daughters invariably develop strong alliances with their mothers, and pubertal females must overturn adults in dominance to remain in large natal groups. Despite life‐history parallels between ringtails and the focal Papionines, the lemurs do not collaborate agonistically in ways that ensure matrilineal “inheritance” of dominance status, as seen in the monkeys. Body weight and individual fighting ability appear to determine dominance relations among infants, and asymmetries established before weaning typically remain stable until sexual maturation. Anatomical and behavioral data suggest that low visual acuity prevents ringtailed lemurs from developing a system of agonistic intervention that could stabilize adult dominance hierarchies and mediate rank inheritance. In any case, failure to promote the dominance of close kin is argued to have influenced life‐history evolution in ringtailed lemurs extensively, including aspects of growth, reproductive biology, and social structure. These analyses identify foci for future research and illustrate the importance of bidirectional effects and feedback in the development and evolution of primate life histories and behavior. © 1995 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
