Fruit eating and polygamy in Birds of Paradise
Submitted by ryenwine on Thu, 09/17/2009 - 10:44.
Here's a link to the Birds of Paradise study. The observation is that polygamy amoungst birds is associated with fruit-eating, and those species(such as the bird of paradise) who are polygamous, eat a wider variety of fruits than monogamous species, who tend to be more specialised.
