Polygynandry and avian swingers

10,000 Birds

Might I assume that women typically bear fewer children, or fewer survive? In the case of Acorn Woodpeckers, they are cooperative breeders (as with many other polygynandrous species), which seems to predispose species to polygynandry. In this case, they would be exhibiting polyandry. Thanks for visiting!
