I was reading a thread a few weeks ago (I think it was in the religion forum) in which someone posted about monogamous animals (parrots, maybe?).
Anyway, someone posted about a study that was done on these birds that had always been assumed to mate for life.
They tested the DNA in the eggs of the neigboring birds, and found that they "cheated" on their partners, and in fact, were not sexually monogamous.
Does anyone know anything about thsi study?
(I knew I should have taken notes when I read it)
What about other species?
What species are believed, falsely, to be monogamous?
What species (if any) actually ARE confirmed to be sexually monogamous for life?
What about past death?
Thanks.
