This is my sandbox for Ecology; Bio 275. I'm just trying to figure out what this all means, so if I'm doing it wrong don't judge me.

I'm bolding this because it told me to.

On an evolutionary standpoint,  females are more prone to practice monogamy because her reproductive success is based off of the resources she is able to acquire through reproduction rather than the quantity of offsprings she produces. However, men are more likely to practice polygamy because his reproductive success is based off of the amount of offsprings he produces, rather than any kind of benefit from parental investment. [2]

Virtually all the terms used to describe animal mating systems were adopted from social anthropology, where they had been devised to describe systems of marriage. This shows that human sexual behavior is unusually flexible since, in most animal species, one mating system dominates. While there are close analogies between animal mating systems and human marriage institutions, these analogies should not be pressed too far, because in human societies, marriages typically have to be recognized by the entire social group in some way, and there is no equivalent process in animal societies. The temptation to draw conclusions about what is "natural" for human sexual behavior from observations of animal mating systems should be resisted: a socio-biologist observing the kinds of behavior shown by humans in any other species would conclude that all known mating systems were natural for that species, depending on the circumstances or on individual differences.[2]

The ultraviolet component of sunlight degrades and decomposes Kevlar, a problem known as UV degradation, and so it is rarely used outdoors without protection against sunlight.[3][citation needed]
