Abstract
⺠Captive female chimpanzees receive more and give less grooming to males when swollen. ⺠The market value of oestrous female chimpanzees varies according to their availability. ⺠Males groom swollen females less as the availability of swollen females increases. ⺠Higher ranking males groom swollen females less than lower ranking males.
