Monogamy relations for relativistically causal correlations [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsNon-signalling conditions encode minimal requirements that any (quantum) systems must satisfy in order to be consistent with special relativity. Recent works have argued that in scenarios involving more than two parties, correlations compatible with ...

Experience and trust: the benefits of mate familiarity are realized through sex-specific specialization of parental roles in Cassin’s auklet [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceMaintaining a pair bond year after year (perennial monogamy) often enhances reproductive success, but what familiar pairs are doing differently to improve success is unknown.

Bat mating systems—A review and recategorisation [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionMating systems, influenced by the social and ecological environment and individual attributes, are fundamental components of animal social organisation, impacting behaviour, animal distribution, ecosystem processes, individual reproductive success, and ...

Why Monogamy? A Review of Potential Ultimate Drivers
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018 The existence of monogamy in animals is perplexing from an evolutionary perspective. If individuals: (1) have the opportunity to mate with more than one individual and (2) doing so provides fitness benefits (e.g., indirect benefits, increased mating ...

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2012 Why has polygyny, marriage of a man to multiple women, common in most societies throughout history, almost disappeared in modern industrialized countries? Do women play a role in its disappearance? A simple theoretical model suggests that at the later stage of the transition from polygyny to monogamy, the spread of human capital and the increase of ...

Monogamy promotes altruistic sterility in insect societies [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Monogamy is associated with sibling-directed altruism in multiple animal taxa, including insects, birds and mammals. Inclusive-fitness theory readily explains this pattern by identifying high relatedness as a promoter of altruism.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018 Background: We still do not understand the key drivers or prevalence of genetic monogamy in mammals despite the amount of attention that the evolution of mammalian monogamy has received.

Neuron, 2006 Vesicular neurotransmitter transporters package transmitter into the lumen of synaptic vesicles for quantal release. However, the number of transporters that localize to each vesicle is not known. In this issue of Neuron, a study by Daniels et al. using the Drosophila neuromuscular junction and mutations of the vesicular glutamate transporter suggests ...

The Monogamy Paradox: What Do Love and Sex Have to Do With It?
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018 Genetic monogamy is rare—at least at the level of a species—and monogamy can exist in the absence of sexual fidelity. Rather than focusing on mating exclusivity, it has become common to use the term “social monogamy” to describe a cluster of social ...
