Culture, Health and Sexuality, 2018 When viewed over time, many gay men’s relationships are not static, or firmly fixed to monogamy or non-monogamy. This paper uses in-depth interviews with 61 Australian gay men to explore how monogamy and non-monogamy are experienced over time ...

The Evolution of Social Monogamy in Mammals
Science, 2013 The evolution of social monogamy has intrigued biologists for over a century. Here, we show that the ancestral condition for all mammalian groups is of solitary individuals and that social monogamy is derived almost exclusively from this social system ...

Social attachments play a central role in human society. In fact, such attachments are so important that deficits in the ability to form meaningful social bonds are associated with a variety of psychological disorders. Although mother-infant bonding has been studied for many years, we only recently have begun to examine the processes that underlie ...

Neuroendocrine bases of monogamy
Trends in Neurosciences, 1998A number of studies have implicated the neurohypophyseal peptides oxytocin and vasopressin in the central mediation of complex social behaviors, including affiliation, parental care and territorial aggression. Research on a monogamous rodent, the prairie vole (Microtus ochrogaster), suggests that these neuropeptides are also involved in the control of ...

SUMMARY The equating of sex, sin and death in Patriarchal Judeo-Christian religions continues to affect the social and moral consciousness of Western societies. The concepts of the impure body, the inferiority of women, importance of monogamy and marriage, and the negative ideas of sexuality have been so absorbed into all cultures that their origins as

Monogamy is relatively rarely reported in taxa other than birds. The reproductive system of many lizard species appears to involve multiple mating partners for both the male and the female. However, short-term monogamous relationships have been reported in some lizard species, either where the male defends a territory that is only occupied by a single ...

The Quarterly Review of Biology, 1977
This review considers the behavioral, ecological, and reproductive characteristics of mammals exhibiting monogamy, i.e., mating exclusivity. From a discussion of the life histories of selected species of monogamous primates, carnivores, rodents and ungulates, several trends emerge. Two forms of monogamy occur, Type I, facultative, and Type II, obligate.

Monogamy and the Battle of the Sexes
Annual Review of Entomology, 2009Sexual conflict has been suggested to be important in the evolution of reproductive traits, with much recent theoretical and empirical evidence emphasizing its role in generating sexually antagonistic coevolution in the context of promiscuous mating. Here we shift attention to the role of sexual conflict in a monogamous mating context.

ABSTRACTThe formation of long‐term pair bonds in marine fish has elicited much empirical study. However, the evolutionary mechanisms involved remain contested and previous theoretical frameworks developed to explain monogamy in birds and mammals are not applicable to many cases of monogamy in marine fish.

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1997
Comparative studies of monogamous and nonmonogamous voles demonstrate species differences in the regional expression of oxytocin (OT) receptors in the brain. These species differences have not been observed with other neurotransmitter receptors (except vasopressin).
