Polygynandry occurs when two or more males have an exclusive relationship with two or more females. The numbers of males and females need not be equal, and in vertebrate species studied so far, the number of males is usually lower.
[edit] In Bonobos
In bonobos society polygynandry is commonplace. Every female may be approached by and copulate with any male with the exception of her adult sons.[1]
