What is a pair bond?

open access: yesHormones and Behavior, 2021
Pair bonding is a psychological construct that we attempt to operationalize via behavioral and physiological measurements. Yet, pair bonding has been both defined differently in various taxonomic groups as well as used loosely to describe not just a psychological and affective phenomenon, but also a social structure or mating system (either social ...

The neural mechanisms and circuitry of the pair bond. [PDF]

open access: yesNat Rev Neurosci, 2018
Love is one of our most powerful emotions, inspiring some of the greatest art, literature and conquests of human history. Although aspects of love are surely unique to our species, human romantic relationships are displays of a mating system characterized by pair bonding, likely built on ancient foundational neural mechanisms governing individual ...

Evolution of displays within the pair bond. [PDF]

open access: yesProc Biol Sci, 2013
Although sexual selection is an important cause of display evolution, in socially monogamous species (e.g. many birds), displays continue after formation of the pair bond. Here, we consider that these displays evolve because they stimulate the partner to increase investment in offspring.

Correlates of genetic monogamy in socially monogamous mammals: insights from Azara's owl monkeys [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Understanding the evolution of mating systems, a central topic in evolutionary biology for more than 50 years, requires examining the genetic consequences of mating and the relationships between social systems and mating systems.

New Lewis Structures through the application of the Hypertorus Electron Model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The hypertorus electron model is applied to the chemical bond. As a consequence, the bond topology can be determined. A linear correlation is found between the normalized bond area and the bond energy. The normalization number is a whole number.

Variational states for the spin-Peierls system [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
We introduce a family of Jastrow pair product states for quasi one-dimensional spin systems. Depending on a parameter they interpolate between the resonating valence bond ground state of the Haldane-Shastry model describing a spin liquid and the ...
