Abstract
⺠In the absence of estrous females, cortisol levels of wild ranging bonobo males were not related to dominance rank. ⺠In the presence of estrous females male cortisol levels correlate positively with dominance rank. ⺠Associations with estrous females explained between-individual variation in cortisol better than aggression. ⺠Aggression received by males and females can explain the within-individual variation in cortisol levels.
