1876 H. Spencer Princ. Sociol. (1877) I. 698 Monogyny does not fully express the union of one man with one woman..since the feminine unity is alone indicated by it... Hence monogamy, expressing the singleness of the marriage, may be fitly retained.

1909 Amer. Jrnl. Sociol. 14 594 In our human family we find many forms [of sexual relationship]: androgyny, polygyny, and then the slow and halting evolution of monogyny.

1928 Man 28 215/2 By monogamy we imply a general monandrous monogyny throughout the ethnic group examined.

1979 Stud. Family Planning 10 382/1 (heading) Monogyny/polygyny.

2. Entomology. The condition of a social insect, esp. an ant species, of being monogynous (monogynous adj. 3b).

1922 W. M. Wheeler in Sci. Monthly 15 131 We shall find precisely the same differences between monogyny and polygyny in the social bees of temperate and tropical regions.

1959 E. O. Wilson in Ecology 40 445/1 Among the many rain forest species [of ant] studied, monogyny appears to be the strong rule.

1985 Insectes Sociaux 32 141 Secondary monogyny [in termites] could also occur and some polygyny could be the result of the replacement of the primary pair.

1995 Behavioral Ecol. 6 359 We suggest that by queen adoption and emigration or budding, [ant] colonies easily switch from monogyny to polygyny and vice versa.
