What is Female Mountain Gorillas Can Outrank Non Alpha Mal about?

A study by Smit and Robbins reveals that female mountain gorillas can outrank non-alpha males, challenging traditional views of male dominance in gorilla social structures. Over a 25-year dataset, females won 28% of interactions against non-alpha males and consistently had feeding priority over them. The findings suggest that female empowerment is not solely a byproduct of male competition or mating leverage, but may involve support from alpha males and access to non-mating-related resources.
