Was this extract cobbled from 2 different papers? The highly speculative last para seems to contradict the rest. Surely being in teams & coalitions it the opposite of individual competition, or are the teams taking on individual females en mass?

It is one paper, and it addresses the reproductive benefits of coalitions. That part and others don't fit into my blurb.pic.twitter.com/tOZcLSyXqG

Could be seen as an example of a potential benefit to females in terms of mate selection, eg: rather than cognitively demanding assessments of individual males, select for the males who make it to the hierarchical top of these coalitions? Outsourcing mate suitability assessment!
