Abstract	Mate choice is defined as a behavioural pattern in one sex which increases the probability of fertile matings with certain members of the opposite sex. The chosen sex may use force, however, to coerce matings from reluctant members of the choosing sex. In a confined group of Japanese macaques, Macaca fuscata fuscatahoused at the Primate Research Institute of Kyoto University, Japan, behavioural and endocrine data were combined to assess the validity of several mate-choice behaviours and the potential influence of sexual coercion. Preliminary evidence was found for both female mate choice of males and male sexual coercion of females. Both female proximity maintenance towards males and male aggression towards females were correlated with an increase in fertile matings. Most male aggression appeared to be the by-product of increased time spent in proximity due to female proximity maintenance, but some male aggression appeared to be sexual coercion. These results are interpreted in light of recent research on male sexual coercion, and a tentative model of mate choice for this species is proposed.1997The Association for the Study of Animal Behaviour
