Infanticide in Primates

Introduction

THIS IS A PAGE BY MEHERET OURGESSA

Infanticide generally refers to the killing of an infant or a young offspring by an adult or mature individual of the same species and is observed in a variety of species ranging from humans to microscopic rotifers and especially in primates. Both males and females can be the perpetrators of infanticide in animals. There are several explanations for the existence of infanticide in non-human primate communities.
The topic must include one section about microbes (bacteria, viruses, fungi, or protists). This is easy because all organisms and ecosystems have microbes.
