10.1007/BF00164042 7 Bercovitch FB, Widdig A, Trefilov A, Kessler MJ, Berard JD, Schmidtke J, Nürnberg P, Kraczak M. A longitudinal study of age-specific reproductive output and body condition among male rhesus macaques, Macaca mulatta. Given male-female differences in development, reproduction, and residency patterns, among savanna baboons, rhesus macaques, as well as other species of non-human primates, most siblings are unlikely to have shared paternity. To summarize, inbreeding occurs in wild populations of baboons and kangaroo rats, in island populations of rhesus monkeys and Soay sheep, and in re-introduced populations of condors and rhinoceros. However, like baboons and rhesus macaques, maternal kin are less likely to mate with each other than paternal kin, and both dispersal and mate choice appear to minimize inbreeding levels.
