- Great question! Polygynandry involves social groups of animals. Sometimes, males and females work together to defend a territory.
- With the promiscuity system, the animals live solitarily rather than in social groups.
- Any other questions?
- What are the benefits of polygynandry?
- This isn't an experiment... right?

- No. Dugdale and colleagues did not manipulate any variables. They collected physiological data and observed the badgers.

- Benefits of polygynandry varies between species. For the European Badgers, plural breeding is convenient because mate guarding is costly for males. For females, this system may reduce harassment from males, increase the chance of fertilization, and promote genetic diversity for the offspring.
