	Cuckoldry - Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
		Cuckoldry was a sport popular in Medieval Europe, particularly England, before football, baseball, or basketball took over, in which attractive young married women had sexual affairs with men other than their husbands, thereby earning for their spouses the title of cuckold and entitling him to wear a pair of deer or moose antlers.
		Cuckoldry, as a comic device, has declined since the Middle Ages, as adultery, despite the Ten Commandments, continues to increase among the general population.
		Like the codpiece, cuckoldry could make a comeback, among teenagers who are as sexually active as any adult, if not more so, but typically do not marry before the age of seventeen and, therefore, cannot cuckold or be cuckolded.

	Gene Expression: CUCKOLDRY AND CORRELATION
		If there are significant levels of cuckoldry in a population, the proportion of genes shared by relatives (except those related solely through the female line) will on average be reduced.
		The most obvious implication of cuckoldry is that we would expect correlations between offspring and their mothers to be higher than between offspring and their supposed fathers.
		In fact, the offspring of cuckoldry can be regarded as a natural experiment in adoption, with the difference that there is no problem of ‘selective placement’, and no ‘Pygmalion effect’, since the cuckolded fathers do not even know that the experiment is taking place.

	Male fish turn to cannibalism when uncertain of paternity
		Studying Telmatherina sarasinorum, a small, colorful fish found in Lake Matano in Indonesia, the researchers found that females, who can be sure of their relationship to their eggs, never cannibalized.
		However, an increased level of cuckoldry led to an increased rate of cannibalism among males.

		According to the study, in field observations of Telmatherina sarasinorum, a small fish endemic to Sulawesi, Indonesia, males increased filial cannibalism (the eating of one's own offspring) behavior threefold in the presence of one cuckolder and nearly sixfold in the presence of two or more cuckolders.
		Cuckoldry denotes female copulation and conception outside a socially monogamous pair.
		The researchers suspected that females could be sure of their relationship to their eggs; consequently, an increased level of cuckoldry led to an increased rate of cannibalism only among males.

		The cuckoo is the "rude Bird of Hate" most commonly associated with jealously and cuckoldry.
		The contrast between the nightingale and cuckoo enables Milton to establish the symbolic identification of Philomel with chastity which receives explicit reiteration in A Mask (Variorum 2(2): 357).
		The cuckoo's call was believed to prophesy cuckoldry or infidelity, causing people to associate it with revenge and hate.

	SCUBA Diving News: Cuckoldry incites cannibalism: Male Fish eat offspring
		When a male fish is uncertain that he is the father of a clutch of eggs, he is likely to eat those eggs, according to a study in The American Naturalist.
		This filial cannibalism (the eating of one's own offspring) increases proportionately with increased levels of cuckoldry.
		In field observations of Telmatherina sarasinorum, a small fish endemic to Sulawesi, Indonesia, males increased filial cannibalism behavior threefold in the presence of one cuckolder and nearly sixfold in the presence of two or more cuckolders.

	Sex lives of wild fish: genetic techniques provide new insights
		"Cuckoldry by males was rare," the researchers noted in a paper published in the December edition of the Proceedings of the Royal Society of London.
		Such findings, coupled with the fact that several fish species have known capabilities for distinguishing kin from nonkin, raise the possibility that cannibalism by guardian males is directed primarily or exclusively toward unrelated embryos in their nests.
		Progeny in approximately 57 percent of the nests were sired exclusively by the guardian male, but the remaining nests contained embryos resulting from cuckoldry as well.

	:::: Graduate Student Colloquium ::::
		In this paper I will examine the theme of cuckoldry in Marguerite de Navarre’s the Heptaméron and how the act of writing this work was a means for Marguerite to express the psychological turmoil, feelings, ambiguities and thoughts she felt regarding her husband’s infidelity as she neared the end of her life.
		A link from the Valois/Angoulême family history, their place in society and the culture can be made to the writing of Marguerite de Navarre and the overriding theme of cuckoldry within the Heptaméron.
		This activity of writing became a means for her to work through the trauma of marital betrayal, from which she suffered during her marriage to Henri de Navarre.

	Female Infidelity and Paternal Uncertainty - Cambridge University Press
		The risk of cuckoldry appears to have driven the evolution of male anti-cuckoldry tactics; tactics designed to limit and control female infidelity in an attempt to reduce the risk of cuckoldry (Buss, 1988, 1994, 1999; Buss & Shackelford, 1997; Platek, 2002; Platek et al., 2002, 2003; Shackelford et al., 2002).
		They synthesize existing and new data that suggest that human (and animal) male physiology adjusts the delivery of sperm quantity and semen chemistry as a function of cuckoldry risk and that there may be specific psychological adaptations associated with sperm competition.
		Burch and Gallup also contribute a chapter (Chapter 8) that discusses a series of working hypotheses that involve the effects of semen chemistry and it’s psychobiological effects as an intra-vaginal means by which males may be able to reduce the likelihood of cuckoldry or alter the hormonal status of a reproductive partner.

		The origins of the word may be linked to the cuckoo bird's behavior--it lays its eggs in the nests of other birds, and its chicks are raised by the other birds as their own.
		The image associated with the cuckold is the cuckold's horns.
		There doesn't seem to be a clear sense of how the idea of horns became associated with the idea of cuckoldry.
