Reconnaissance spécifique et socio-écologie des primates by Fabien Génin, Hajarimanitra Rambeloarivony, Judith C Masters

“…Dans cette contribution, nous développons une approche alternative fondée sur la notion de reconnaissance spécifique. Cette théorie repose sur trois faiblesses de la théorie de la sélection sexuelle : 1) Sélection stabilisante : la reconnaissance spécifique est plus générale et parcimonieuse que le choix de partenaire sexuel dont le fitness ne peut pas être évalué a priori ; 2) Tautologie : La compétition devrait être limitée au moins chez les espèces rencontrées à faible densités, comme nombre de primates ; et le potentiel de monopolisation ne peut pas être à la fois la cause et l’effet de la sélection sexuelle ; 3) Co-évolution : l’investissement reproducteur n’est pas plus grand chez les femelles que chez les mâles parce qu’il comprend aussi la phase d’appariement souvent plus coûteuse chez les mâles : en fait, l’information génétique contenue dans chaque embryon provient d’un mâle et d’une femelle en quantités à peu près égales. …”
