Female dispersal slows breeding

The female philopatric species of primates have strong ties between blood relatives, and those relationships affect the females’ reproduction.

On the other hand, as, after maturation, the females of female dispersed species spend their life in a group without blood relatives, their relationships with the members of groups to which they transfer influences their reproductive success.

This difference causes the breeding speed of female dispersal species to be slower than that of female philopatric species.*

*Female-dispersed species females give birth after they transfer, so the age of their first birth is higher than that of female-philopatric species. In addition, due to a lack of assistance from relatives, their weaning time will be longer.
