This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Mating Systems Types (100316), "Poly-gyn-andry" is not simply"shedding of gametes" (seen in many aquatic animals), "Poly-gyn-andry" in which both males & females compete for partners, males being more colorful / ornamented than females ("sexual dimorphism") for example larger / more complex antlers in male white-tailed deer (exhibiting their foraging ability), males do not contribute much to the success of rearing young for example only female mammals lactate & therefore only they can nurse babies, mammals living in "multi-male; multi-female groups for which multiple males & multiple females breed, multiple males & multiple females breed especially Primates, Polygyny in which males compete for females (because few males get the opportunity to mate), Polyandry exhibited by very few species, most mammals including white-tailed deer; elk; moose, "Social" Monogamy (not necessarily genetic monogamy) exhibited by 90% of birds, females being more colorful / ornamented than males ("reversed" sexual dimorphism) and females are more aggressive than males (or than monogamous females), Animal (non-human) Mating Systems include "Polygamy", mates seek "EPCs" (Extra-Pair Copulations) which is Evolutionarily Adaptive for Females, primates including coquerel's sifaka ("she-fak"), further divided into "Poly-gyn-andry", one male and one female living together (until one leaves or dies) and sharing parental responsibilities which can include sexual/genetic monogamy, "Social" Monogamy (not necessarily genetic monogamy) referring to one male and one female living together (until one leaves or dies) and sharing parental responsibilities, Animal (non-human) Mating Systems include "Social" Monogamy (not necessarily genetic monogamy), Evolutionarily Adaptive for Males in that they can reproduce at a higher rate, "Poly-gyn-andry" defined as males & females in a group each mating with > 1 partner
