No evidence for female kin association, indications for extragroup paternity, and sex‐biased dispersal patterns in wild western gorillas

No evidence for female kin association, indications for extragroup paternity, and sex‐biased dispersal patterns in wild western gorillas

Abstract Characterizing animal dispersal patterns and the rational behind individuals’ transfer choices is a long‐standing question of interest in evolutionary biology. In wild western gorillas (Gorilla gorilla), a one‐male polygynous species, previous genetic findings suggested that, when dispersin...
