In non‐human mammals, sexual conflict should be particularly intense because males rarely provide parental care. An expected consequence of sexual conflict is male aggression towards mates. Considering how complex measurements and interpretations of behaviours such as sexual aggression and sexual coercion are, I preferred to define operationally, as ‘sexual disturbance’, any male behaviour towards females during the pericopulatory period that can be costly for females.
The objectives in this review were as follows: 1) to estimate how widespread sexual disturbance is among mammals, 2) to analyse the types of female response to sexual disturbance, and 3) to characterise the costs of sexual disturbance to females. I conducted a systematic review by searching the literature in the Web of Knowledge database using the search tools available for 19 main journals, and I conducted a qualitative review via a taxon‐by‐taxon analysis.
Sexual disturbance was frequent in four of the 32 mammalian orders: Primates, Artiodactyla, Carnivora, and Cetacea, which all include highly polygynous taxa. The most common expression of sexual conflict around copulation is seen in behaviours associated with female retention attempts that cause minor harm. Research suggests that the most common response of females to sexual disturbance comprises female grouping around a dominant male.

哺乳动物的性侵略

在非人类的哺乳动物中，性冲突应特别激烈，因为雄性很少提供父母照料。性冲突的预期结果是男性对伴侣的侵略。考虑到对性侵略和性胁迫等行为的衡量和解释有多么复杂，我更倾向于在操作上将在交配期间男性对女性的任何行为定义为“性骚扰”，这对女性而言可能是昂贵的。
这篇综述的目的如下：1）估计哺乳动物中性骚扰的普遍程度； 2）分析女性对性骚扰的反应类型； 3）表征女性性骚扰的成本。我通过使用19种主要期刊可用的搜索工具在Web of Knowledge数据库中搜索文献进行了系统的综述，并且通过分类单元分析进行了定性综述。
在32种哺乳动物中，有4种频繁发生性骚扰：灵长类，木偶，食肉动物和鲸类，其中都包括高度多性的类群。交配周围性冲突的最常见表现是与女性留住企图有关的行为，这种行为会造成较小的伤害。研究表明，女性对性骚扰最常见的反应包括围绕优势男性的女性群体。
