Marlowe, Frank W.Male aggressiveness was the strongest predictor of degree of polygyny, when tested against father-infant proximity, male contribution to subsistence, and male aggressiveness (55).
Alexander, Richard D.The degree of sexual dimorphism of stature will be associated with the degree of polygyny in human societies (434).
Gray, J. PatrickThere will be a relationship between degree of polygyny and presence or absence of foreplay (6).
Gray, J. PatrickPolygyny will be associated with greater sexual dimorphism of stature (443).
Burton, Michael L.Controlling for the presence of the plow, there will be a relationship between degree of polygyny and female participation in crop-tending (280, 289).
Hartung, JohnDegree of polygyny will be positively related to male bias in inheritance (1).
Thornhill, RandyDegree of polygyny will be positively related to the severity of punishment for rape (160).
Betzig, Laura L.As groups increase in size and hierarchical complexity, individuals in power will use their asymmetrical advantage to collect perquisites as third parties and a proportionate amount of polygynous relationships (210).
Low, Bobbi S.Degree of polygyny, as well as the degree of non-sororal polygyny, will be positively related to pathogen stress (239).

Pryor, Frederic L.The presence of internal market exchange is directly related to the importance of subsistence production carried out by women and inversely proportional to the presence of a socially significant degree of polygyny (130).
Pryor, Frederic L.The presence of land rental markets is directly related to the importance of subsistence production carried out by women and inversely proportional to the presence of a socially significant degree of polygyny (147).
