WASHINGTON: A species of frog from the Brazilian rainforest has become the first amphibian shown to live in a harem, where one male mates with two females who remain loyal to him.
So-called polygyny is thought to be the most common mating system among animals and has previously been found in bony fishes, reptiles, mammals, birds, and even some invertebrates.
The arrangement seemed to have clear advantages for both sexes.
The males need to prevent other males from using their hard-to-come-by breeding sites, and it is advantageous to diversify the gene pool by having multiple mates.
"The advantage for the female is it's better to have a good quality male and a good quality breeding site sharing it with another female -- rather than being exposed and not finding another frog or finding a lower quality frog," added De Sa.
