1. Another form of polyandry is shown by the Galapagos hawk.
2. There might, however, be other advantages to polyandry.
3. There are good reasons why this mating system, referred to as polyandry (literally, many males), is uncommon.
4. Reproductive strategies involve patterns such as polyandry, monogamy, polygyny, and promiscuity.
5. There are three main categories of breeding system: monogamy, polygyny, and polyandry, which we can take in turn.
6. This remarkable event, as unlikely as a Papal Bull encouraging polyandry, we took for a good omen.
7. It is not too difficult to imagine how this could slip quietly into polyandry: females could develop the habit of mating with a second male and letting him care for her second clutch.
8. Sometimes three males may share one female (polyandry) but two males sharing one female is the commonest situation.
9. It is rather less common for females to mate with more than one male (polyandry, meaning many males).
10. This form of role-reversal is known as polyandry, a term applied to a woman who has more than one husband.

12. This was the simultaneous introduction of several indissolubly linked institutions: monogamy (which later gave rise to polyandry and polygamy), the nuclear family, private property (the property of the nuclear family), the change in the rule of descent from the female line to the male line, the subordination and humiliation of women, and the State.
13. The present-day breeding habits of some birds give us a reasonably good idea of how polyandry evolved.
