Most marriages are monogamous, although fraternal 'polyandry' (having more than one husband) is permitted and is even considered to be prestigious.
We discuss our findings with respect to proximate and ultimate hypotheses regarding the causes and significance of 'polyandry' in female birds.
From then on, polygyny (one man with several wives) replaced 'polyandry' (one woman with several husbands) as a marital practice.
The 'polyandry' of female Uta may be a strategy to obtain genes to produce both high quality sons and daughters.
