Table 1. Terminology used in this study, proposed in (Huck, Di Fiore, & Fernandez-Duque, 2020) and based on the framework of Kappeler (Kappeler, 2019).
Pair-living (who lives with whom): a type of social organization where one adult male and one adult female share a home range, possible with their non-reproducing offspring. This is often referred to as “social monogamy”.
Pair-bonded (who is affiliated with whom): a type of social structure where one adult male and one adult female have an affiliative relationship to the exclusion of other adults, as evidenced by behavioral, emotional, and endocrinological characteristics.
Sexual monogamy (who mates with whom): a type of social mating system where one adult male and one adult female have an exclusive mating relationship during at least one reproductive season.
Genetic monogamy (who produces offspring with whom): a type of genetic mating system where one adult male and one adult female produce offspring exclusively with each other over a set of multiple births (at least one reproductive season for species that produce more than one infant per litter and over more than one consecutive reproductive seasons for species with singleton births)
Biparental care (who provides parental care): a type of care system where a mother and putative father regularly provide offspring care.
