Wamba, Democratic Republic of the Congo – Male bonobos have been shown to decipher the unreliable fertility signals of females, allowing them to focus their mating efforts where the chance of conception is highest, according to a study published December 9 in PLOS Biology.

Unlike most mammals, female bonobos remain sexually receptive for a prolonged period and display a conspicuous pink swelling that is not a precise indicator of ovulation. Researchers observed wild bonobos in the Luo Scientific Reserve, recording sexual behaviors and estimating the status of females’ genital swelling. Urine samples were also collected to measure hormone levels and...
