ESTOS GORILAS GAY NOS RECUERDAN QUE LA HOMOSEXUALIDAD ANIMAL MUCHO MáS COMúN LO QUE PENSAMOS

Among ee-rangg gorillas, homosexual behavur has been observed mounta gorillas: Adult gorilla femal are sexually active almost exclively durg ots, i.

The two femal then s together close physil ntact, such as a close embrace, and b their genals on the ground or on the other female’s gorillas: Homosexual behavur is observed very rarely harem groups (ocsnally durg play between youngsters), but is mon all-male groups. Elisabetta Palagi, EdorAbstractHumans are unique among primat for not only engagg same-sex sexual acts, but also formg homosexual pair bonds.

To shed light on the evolutnary origs of homosexualy, data on the occurrence and ntexts of same-sex behavr om nonhuman primat may be of particular signifince.

GAY GORILLAS UGHT THE THRO OF PASSN AT ZOO

We prent data on homosexual behavr female mounta gorillas the Vinga Volno (Rwanda) and tt four functnal hypoth, namely renciliatn, affiliatn, domance exprsn and sexual aroal. An adaptive functn of female homosexual behavr is not readily apparent, and we tentatively nclu (until a more rigoro tt be available) that may simply be related to sexual gratifitn or that is an evolutnary by-product of an adaptatn. Others have also emphasized the non-functnaly of this behavr, argug that might be a functnls by-product of evolutn or a pathology (reviewed [3], see also [4]) a phylogeic perspective, tracg back the evolutnary occurrence of homosexual behavr might ntribute to an unrstandg of such behavr humans, which are unique among primat for not only engagg homosexual acts, but also formg homosexual pair bonds [5].

[18] mentned ten stanc of homosexual mounts between femal, both ventro-ventral and dorso-ventral posns, cludg thsts and ually wh acpanyg pulatory volizatns om at least one of the partners. They terpreted this behavr as purely sexual ntext, bee mounts happened often durg tim of gmented sexual activy of femal wh we provi the first formal report of homosexual behavr female gorillas/mounta gorillas.

In an attempt to garner addnal scriptive evince of homosexual behavr female gorillas, qutnnair were also distributed to all data technicians workg at KRC. Homosexual mountg was fed as an dividual climbg on top of another dividual, ventro-dorsally or ventro-ventrally, wh or whout pelvic thstg; do not clu mountg durg play (distguished by play face, play gnts) and also do not clu brief embrac.

The possible nciliatory functn of homosexual behavr was asssed by extractg data on aggrsive teractns volvg a given dyad that occurred durg a 10-mute time wdow precedg the homosexual event. The sexual aroal hypothis was explored by rerdg if a female engagg a homosexual act was also volved a heterosexual pulatn on the same day, prev day or followg of the circumstanc surroundg homosexual acts were not systematilly rerd (such as rponse of silverback, event precedg mounts etc.

AFR and IEA group Pablo were seen engagg homosexual behavr 11 and 8 tim, and MAG and NZE group Bwenge were seen 12 and 9 tim, rpectively (S2 Table). Femal of all reproductive stat were found to show homosexual behavr; the breakdown for dyads acrdg to reproductive state is: 5 cyclg-cyclg, 6 cyclg-lactatg, 21 cyclg-pregnant, 1 pregnant-lactatg, 8 pregnant-pregnant, and 2 lactatg-lactatg. When UMC and MAH engaged a pulatory act on Jul 26, 2010, the domant silverback CAN was rtg right next to them and did not femal group Pablo engagg ventro-ventral homosexual mountg (ottage) mountee is utterg pulatory volizatns.

Homosexual behavr and renciliatnNone of the homosexual acts were preced by aggrsive events the 10 m before, but some d threats such as ‘pig gnt’ lls may well have been missed as they were not nsistently rerd. Homosexual behavr and social bondsNone of the homosexual acts volved close k dyads (mother-dghter, maternal sisters), but one was nt-niece (AFR-MAH). To tablish if homosexual behavr is more mon among femal that affiliate wh each other, we pared the equency of acts volvg non-bond dividuals (n = 21) wh those volvg bond dividuals (n = 22) and found no statistil difference.
