This also suggests female jealousy, which is relatively rare in the animal kingdom. Species (many birds, humans, but few other mammals) where the male is a significant provider of resources for the young would select for female jealousy, most other species would not.

Fascinating. I wonder if next they’ll discover single female birds cockblocking other single female birds.
