In general, infanticide seems to be more common in species that form one-male groups than in species that form multimale, multifemale groups or pair-bonded groups. Explain why this might be the case.

Solution

The reproductive success of a female is mainly relies upon the nourishment obtained to feed herself & to feed her offspring so that females often have \"high receptive to reproduction & sexual mating\". This is due to high variation in mating patterns and grouping patterns & social structures so that infanticide seems to be more common in species that form one-male groups in which females have high receptive to reproduction & sexual mating as they no longer nursing compared to the species that form multimale, multifemale groups or pair-bonded groups
