Abstract
⺠In bonobo males, aggression correlates with rank and mating success. ⺠Aggression frequency increases in the presence of potentially fertile females. ⺠Low-ranking males have stronger increase in testosterone during mate competition. ⺠Quality of intersexual relationships correlates negatively with testosterone levels.
