Abstract:
In wild primates, infanticide is a risk that is especially prevalent when a new male takes over the alpha position. Insight into risk factors related to infanticide may decrease the incidence of infanticide in captivity during male introductions. We investigated several risk factors of infanticide derived from hypotheses explaining infanticide in the wild and tested this in captive long-tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis) using demographic data spanning a 25.5-year period. Factors that are related to infanticide in the wild explained a large proportion, but not all incidences, of infanticide in captivity. Consistent with the wild data, infants young enough to decrease the interbirth interval (<215 days) were at risk of being killed. In contrast to studies from the wild, infanticidal males were more than 2.5 years younger than non-infanticidal males. This indicates that captive settings can lead to new risks since relatively young males may gain the alpha position, promoting infanticide. Therefore, we propose the adolescent male risk hypothesis as a captive risk factor in which subadult males pose a risk of infanticide. In conclusion, the ages of both males and infants are related to infanticide in captivity and have to be taken into account during male introductions.

Abstract:
Infanticide occurs in an array of mammalian species, especially primates. Most infanticidal events occur in polygynous societies, though they sometimes happen in nongregarious populations. We witnessed a possible infanticidal event of a 3-month-old male aye-aye, a species that exhibits a dispersed multimale social system, in Torotorofotsy, Madagascar. Though firsthand killing of the infant was not observed, physical injuries to the infant, vocalizations of the adult female, and her subsequent chase of the adult male aye-aye strongly indicates infanticide. If true, this would be the first recorded incident of an infanticidal event in a noyau primate. The evidence for three different explanations of infanticide is evaluated.

Abstract:
Video recordings made inside wolf dens chronicle two episodes of infanticide by different α females within a captive pack of timber wolves (Canis lupus). In one instance, infanticidal behaviour was interspersed with maternal behaviour. These cases are discussed in terms of the proximate causes of infanticide. It is also suggested that the killing of pups born to subordinate females by α females may be a common occurrence in both captive and free-ranging wolf packs.

Abstract:
Infanticide by adult males occurs in a variety of species. While infanticidal attacks have been documented in several equid species in captivity, it has never been witnessed in free-roaming feral horses. I report an infanticide attempt by a free-living feral stallion on a recently born female foal. The stallion picked up the foal by the shoulders, tossed it around twice and bit in on the neck several times. The dam of the foal charged the stallion and successfully protected her foal from additional attacks. The foal survived the attack and later weaned successfully. The stallion recently took over the band and was excluded as the sire through genetic analysis. While this type of attack is rare, this case lends support to the sexual selection hypothesis and further demonstrates that equids have evolved with the risk of infanticide. Furthermore, it shows that maternal protectiveness can be successful against attacks by infanticidal males.

Abstract:
In most mammalian species, females regularly interact with kin, which is expected to reduce aggressive competitive behaviour among females. It may thus be difficult to understand why infanticide by females has been reported in numerous species and is sometimes perpetrated by groupmates. Here, we investigate the evolutionary determinants of infanticide by females by combining a quantitative analysis of the taxonomic distribution of infanticide with a qualitative synthesis of the circumstances of infanticidal attacks in published reports. Our results show that female infanticide is widespread across mammals and varies in relation to social organization and life history, being more frequent where females breed in groups and have intense bouts of high reproductive output. Specifically, female infanticide occurs where the proximity of conspecific offspring directly threatens the killer's reproductive success by limiting access to critical resources for her dependent progeny, including food, shelters, care or a social position. By contrast, infanticide is not immediately modulated by the degree of kinship among females, and females occasionally sacrifice closely related infants. Our findings suggest that the potential direct fitness rewards of gaining access to reproductive resources have a stronger influence on the expression of female aggression than the indirect fitness costs of competing against kin. This article is part of the theme issue ‘The evolution of female-biased kinship in humans and other mammals’.

Abstract:
The handling of infanticide in late medieval France offers modern audiences an underappreciated paradox: on the one hand infant murder was deplored as grave sin and crime, on the other hand, it was a pardonable offence, even the infanticidal singlemother who had killed to conceal her sin could obtain royal grace. This is far more than the usual story of law differing from practice. Christian ideology of mercy and forgiveness for sin played a central role in shaping the regulation of illegitimate births as well as abortions, stillbirths, and infanticide. Church and secular authorities alike sought to prevent as well as punish the death of infants, but they also created and implemented systems of justice with the explicit purpose of providing mercy to the repentant murderer, even an infanticide.

Abstract:
Abstract Recent observed attacks by male Amazon river dolphins on conspecific calves, together with post-mortem examinations, indicate that infanticide occurs in this species but that not all attacked calves are killed. If mortality occurs, it might therefore be an inadvertent consequence of the behaviour rather than the motive for it. Our observations suggest that males who commit infanticide are unlikely to gain direct fitness benefits. Evidence does not fit the sexual selection hypothesis. Aggression towards calves usually ‘drew a crowd’ and may represent socio-sexual display or simply be a form of social pathology, as found in other infanticidal mammals.

Abstract:
AbstractRecently mated female house mice separated from their mates and exposed to unfamiliar (strange) males often undergo pregnancy disruption. A favored explanation for this phenomenon, known as pregnancy block, is that it has evolved as a female counterresponse to potential infanticide by males. Curiously, pregnancy block is believed not to occur during lactational pregnancy, even though that lactational pregnancy is thought to be common in house mice. We examined the potential for male-induced pregnancy block to occur during lactational pregnancy in female mice after lactation disruption by both male infanticide (Expt 1) and litter removal (Expt 2). Strange males were paired with females that had both recently given birth to a first litter and potentially been reimpregnanted by the original stud male during postpartum estrus. Hence, some of the females' second litters were sired by the stud males and pregnancy block could then be detected as a drop in the delivery rate of such litters among these experimental females relative to control females that were not exposed to strange males. Pairs remained housed together until after a second litter was born. Thus, we were also able to measure the influence of prolonged heterosexual cohabitation on infanticide by strange males towards subsequent litters. If, as some have found, non-sexual contact with a pregnant female suppresses male infanticide, then the importance of male infanticide as an explanation for pregnancy block is further drawn into question. When strange males were introduced to lactating dams approximately one and a half days postpartum (Expt 1), male infanticide effectively halted lactation. However, none of these females subsequently showed pregnancy block. In contrast, when strange males were introduced to dams approximately one day postpartum and lactation was interrupted even earlier (Expt 2), pregnancy block did occur. There was no evidence for a cohabitation-induced reduction of male infanticide in either experiment; most strange males initially categorized as infanticidal subsequently killed females' second litters, provided they had not sired those litters. Despite the lack of cohabitation effects on male infanticide, because pregnancy block may only occur under restricted conditions during lactational pregnancy, the role of male infanticide in shaping the evolution of pregnancy block may be less straightforward than previously thought.

Abstract:
This article asks whether the time is right for abolition of the offence/defence of infanticide. To this end, a two-pronged approach is taken, examining infanticide initially as an offence, and then as a defence. In terms of the offence of infanticide, consideration is given both to the concept of the ‘infanticidal mother’ and to the status of infants below the age of 12 months. When considering the defence of infanticide, examination is made of the exclusive nature of the defence and of the scope for an individual to be a ‘partial’ moral agent. The contradictory nature of infanticide, being both inculpatory and exculpatory, suggests the need for a theoretical rationale that justifies disallowing the offence/defence to, inter alia, those women who kill their own children over 12 months and to men who suffer similar ‘environmental’ postnatal depression. It is suggested that women who kill their children while suffering from the ‘after-effects’ of childbirth are either, depending on the severity of mental disorder, fully competent and therefore criminally responsible (although perhaps entitled to a lesser sentence due to a reduction in culpability) or fully incompetent, therefore incurring no criminal responsibility at all. This proposal can be achieved by recognising that there is a place for reduced culpability or a complete absence of responsibility to fall within the current defence of diminished responsibility or within the Law Commission’s recommended alternative to the insanity defence of ‘not criminally responsible by reason of recognised medical condition’.

Abstract:
The adaptive significance of polyandry is an intensely debated subject in sexual selection. For species with male infanticidal behaviour, it has been hypothesized that polyandry evolved as female counterstrategy to offspring loss: by mating with multiple males, females may conceal paternity and so prevent males from killing putative offspring. Here we present, to our knowledge, the first empirical test of this hypothesis in a combined laboratory and field study, and show that multiple mating seems to reduce the risk of infanticide in female bank voles Myodes glareolus . Our findings thus indicate that females of species with non-resource based mating systems, in which males provide nothing but sperm, but commit infanticide, can gain non-genetic fitness benefits from polyandry.

Abstract:
Infanticidal behavior has been very common through-out human history. It is suggested that progenicidal behavior, whether consciously or unconsciously practiced, be defined and considered within a cultural, ecological and historical matrix in anthropological studies. Sociobiological and materialist interpretive models are considered too extremist by many anthropologists. Both approaches have an inherent tendency to treat "culture" as a subsidiary variable in infanticide, rather than as encompassing progenicidal phenomena and strategies. A useful conceptual framework with which to approach data collection is one where individuals negotiate progenicidal and child care decision-making within a sociocultural, ecological, technological, demographic and economic framework.

Abstract:
L'infanticide est un phénomène délicat à cerner, un crime difficile à authentifier, plus encore en Chine au 19ème siècle. Longtemps présenté comme un recours systématique des familles souhaitant supprimer les filles en surnombre, il était en fait moins fréquent. L'habitude de laisser les enfants morts ou mourants à l'extérieur des maisons, à même la terre, a induit en erreur les témoins occidentaux. Son existence a été niée, par les uns, exagérée, par les autres, tout comme l'existence d'une " charité chinoise ". Les seuls faits tangibles sont les actions entreprises par les missionnaires chrétiens en vue de minimiser le nombre des victimes et d'apporter le baptême au plus grand nombre d'enfants possible. Ils ont recruté des ramasseurs de bébés ; pour les rares survivants : nourrices, orphelinats et écoles sont à disposition. Les intentions étaient louables mais les moyens employés maladroits. Des dérives inévitables s'installèrent avec des conséquences parfois dramatiques : Le Massacre de Tianjin en est l'exemple le plus connu. Le vrai problème était le statut de la femme en Chine qui faisait préférer le fils à la fille. Cette évidence était soutenue par des croyances populaires qui privilégiaient l'élimination de l'enfant porteur du " mauvais œil " ou présentant des anomalies physiques. Des événements extérieurs comme les catastrophes naturelles renforçaient cette sélection. Les missionnaires en tentant d'endiguer ce mal y ont trouvé des compensations évidentes : la justification de leur présence au sein du territoire chinois mais aussi l'acquisition de nombreux terrains. Vis à vis de l'Europe, les chiffres des baptêmes masquaient ceux plus médiocres des conversions, et fournissaient un moyen d'obtenir davantage de soutien financier afin de rivaliser avec les protestants. Les enfants, ainsi recueillis, formaient ensuite des ménages chrétiens et des sphères d'influence dans les villages ; à terme, ils furent même la base d'un clergé indigène
Infanticide is a point at issue, especially in China in the 19th century. Often seen as a systematic practice non desired daughters, it wasn't actually customary. The habit of leaving the dead and dying children outside the houses, on the ground, lead the western witnesses astray. The existence of infanticide as well as the existence of a “Chinese charity” has been denied by some and exaggerated by others. However, the activities of the Christian missionaries willing to “save” and baptise as many children as possible aren't questioned. They created orphanages, schools and an large organisation to collect babies. Despite strong motivation and good will, the project soon drifted dramatically: the Tianjin massacre being the most famous example. The root of the problem was the status of women in China, causing families to prefer sons to daughters. This was also sustained by popular belief that children with physical anomalies should be eliminated. External events such as natural catastrophes would only reinforce it. While trying to hinder those behaviour, the missionaries had found obvious compensations, i. E. The justification for their presence in China and the possibility to buy land. With respect to Europe, the poor rate of conversion was hidden behind the nice figures of baptisms, and greater financial support could be requested in order to compete with the protestant rivals. Eventually, the orphans would create new Christian families, a long term influence in the villages and even a local clergy

O trabalho utiliza como fundamento a vertente crítica da Bioética, desenvolvida a partir de constatações no que diz respeito à insuficiência da Bioética principalista, que não consegue solucionar os conflitos existentes e persistentes no contexto social de países com grandes níveis de desigualdades, pois pressupõe um sujeito livre de qualquer tipo de opressão. Assim, ao considerar somente algumas vozes e interesses, deixa à margem da pauta de discussões indivíduos e grupos tradicionalmente oprimidos e vulneráveis. Na verdade, a vulnerabilização de parcelas da sociedade não ocorreu por questões fisiológicas, mas sim por questões sociais. Por tais razões, parte-se da premissa de que não há lugar para a neutralidade. Logo, a interação efetiva do feminismo possibilitou que situações e abordagens tradicionalmente silenciadas fossem integradas à agenda bioética. A abordagem crítica diferencia situações emergentes - tais como clonagem, diagnóstico genético e transplantes - de situações persistentes - tais como a pobreza, a desigualdade de gênero e a concentração de poder. Com efeito, vale dizer que tal vertente crítica, ao superar o mito da neutralidade, escolhe ficar ao lado dos historicamente discriminados. Indubitavelmente, a diferença é um valor moral extremamente importante que merece e deve ser preservado. Todavia, afirmar que homens e mulheres são diferentes, não é o mesmo que dizer que a socialização feminina deva ser pautada pela dominação masculina. Assim, constata-se que o infanticídio - prática muito antiga na história humana – é ocasionado por inúmeros fatores: nascimento com anomalias inaceitáveis, sacrifícios em rituais religiosos, opressão de gênero e raça, desigualdades sociais, controle de natalidade, preservação da honra, ausência de condições financeiras, dentre outros. Logo não é possível tratar do infanticídio...
The work uses as its foundation the critical stage of Bioethics, developed from the findings regarding the inadequacy of Bioethics theprinciplist, which can not solve the existing conflicts and persistent in the social context of countries with high levels of inequality, because it involved a subject free from any kind of oppression. Thus, when considering only a few voices and interests, makes the margin of the agenda of discussions individuals and groups traditionally oppressed and vulnerable. Indeed, the increasing vulnerability of segments of society did not occur for physiological, but by social issues. For these reasons, it starts with the premise that there is no place for neutrality. Thus, the effective interaction of feminism made it possible situations and approaches traditionally silenced were integrated into the bioethics agenda. The critical approach differentiates emergent situations - such as cloning, genetic diagnosis and transplantation - persistent situations - such as poverty, gender inequality and the concentration of power. Indeed, that is such a critical stance, to overcome the myth of neutrality, choose to stay alongside the historically discriminated against. Undoubtedly, the difference is a very important moral value that deserves to be preserved. However, to assert that men and women are different, is not to say that female socialization should be guided by male domination. Thus, it appears that infanticide - very ancient practice in human history - is caused by several factors: birth defects with unacceptable sacrifices in religious rituals, gender and racial oppression, social inequalities, birth control, preservation of honor, no financial conditions, among others. It is hardly possible to treat infanticide without focusing gender inequality, vulnerability, poverty, finally, critical perspectives on society and the morals. Thus, attempts to analyze...

Abstract:
AbstractInfanticide by adult males is a striking example of sexual conflict; males can increase their reproductive success by killing an unrelated infant and accelerating the mother’s return to breeding condition. Reports of infanticide in cetaceans have quadrupled in the past decade, and infanticide has now been documented in six species of toothed whale, including multiple populations of common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus). Evidence of infanticide in these species is consistent with the sexual selection hypothesis; perpetrators are predominantly adult males and targets are neonates. Toothed whales have long lactation periods that suppress estrus, making infanticide potentially adaptive for adult males. However, it remains unclear if infanticidal males are likely to sire the mother’s subsequent offspring. Here, we provide an overview of infanticide in cetaceans, evaluate the evidence for the sexual selection hypothesis, and propose a framework to predict infanticide risk in this clade. Toothed whales do not typically have dominance hierarchies, stable social groups, or monopolizable mating opportunities, all hallmarks of infanticide risk in terrestrial species. Instead, we hypothesize that infanticide risk in toothed whales is modulated by encounter rates with unfamiliar males.

Abstract:
This review examines evidence on the key design features and impact of programmes that use Conditional Cash Transfers (CCTs) or baby bonds to reduce female infanticide, child marriage and promote girl’s education. Conditional cash transfer (CCT) schemes have been adopted to promote the survival and well-being of girls. They provide parents with financial incentives to raise daughters; to delay marrying them until age 18, and to reduce the gender imbalance in school. Given that many CCT programmes aimed at addressing girl children are relatively new, it has in many cases been too early to evaluate their effectiveness. There is thus limited evidence of the impact of their implementation and outcomes. This helpdesk report focuses on recent studies, published in the past five years, on select programmes implemented in South Asia, particularly in India, for which there is the most available information. Evidence suggests that CCT programmes aimed at supporting the girl child have succeeded in promoting school enrolment and delaying marriage in South Asia. It is less clear, however, the extent to which these transfers have affected gender-biased sex selection.

Abstract:
The focus of this paper is on the complementary mechanisms and interventions likely to increase the effectiveness and impact of conditional cash transfer (CCT) schemes in South Asia that aim to reduce female infanticide and child marriage and promote girls’ education. The literature on the institutional aspects of these particular schemes is limited, but from this and from the wider literature on CCT programmes in similar contexts, the following institutional mechanisms are likely to enhance success: a strong information and communication strategy that enhances programme reach and coverage and ensures stakeholder awareness; advance agreements with financial institutions; a simple and flexible registration process; appropriate use of technology to strengthen access, disbursement, and oversight; adequate implementation capacity to support processes of outreach, enrolment, and monitoring; monitoring and accountability mechanisms embedded in programme design; coordination mechanisms across government across social protection schemes; an effective management information system; and the provision of quality services in the sectors for which conditions are required. There is a very limited body of evidence that explores these institutional issues as they apply to the specific CCT programmes that are the focus of this report, however, there is more available evidence of the potential impact of ‘cash-plus’ programmes, which complement the transfers with other interventions designed to enhance their results or address the structural barriers to well-being
