Recently, Smuts and Smuts (1992) have reviewed the literature pertaining to male aggression associated with sexual activity in nonhuman primates and other mammals, and offer convincing evidence that intersexual coercion is another form of sexual selection (along with intrasexual competition and intersexual mate choice). The purpose of this study was to test two predictions made by Smuts and Smuts: (1) that male aggression directed towards females increases male mating success; and (2) that variation exists between males in terms of aggression as a successful mating tactic. One hundred and twenty-five hours of focal and scan data were collected on twenty-three male Japanese macaques at the South Texas Primate Observatory during the mating season. This study has shown that the primary targets of male aggression (in terms of frequency and intensity) during the mating season are adult females, particularly unrelated adult females. Males were broken down into three subgroups based on age, rank, and spatial status. There were no significant differences in aggression between the male subgroups, though there were some significant differences between the male subgroups in terms of mating activity. The results of this study indicate that there is no relationship between aggression and mating activity for the total sample. However, there were a few significant positive correlations between some levels of male aggression and some measures of mating activity within the male subgroups that is consistent with predictions of the theory proposed by Smuts and Smuts. However, the resulting correlations between male aggression and male mating activity are confounded by issues of female choice.
