Description: Cooperative polyandry among primates.
"Groups in which two or more males mate with a single female during a single breeding season and collaborate to raise her offspring" Expectation of Polygyny and Selfish Behavior Cooperative polyandry seems to fly in the face of expectations in two ways- First of all, males are expected to raise their reproductive success by gaining access to females. Females don't maximize reproductive success by getting more males! Secondly, it looks like altruism- one of the males is taking care of offspring not related to him! Why is he being a sucker?? Cooperative polyandry is pretty rare for these reasons.
