Male sects generally have gay sex by mistake: they n't tell the difference between a male and female until the act is done. But a new review of homosexual sect enunters suggts the acts may not be that straightforward for the dividuals volved.

Rearchers have wily examed homosexual behavr mammals and birds, but have addrsed ls equently sects and spirs.

To asss the range of evolutnary explanatns for same-sex terurse the vertebrate world, a team of blogists om Tel Aviv Universy Israel and the Swiss Feral Instute of Technology Zurich, Swzerland examed roughly 100 existg studi on the topic and piled the first prehensive review of homosexualy vertebrat. Whereas larger animals have veloped more plited homosexual motivatns — like matag allianc, which has been found certa primate and seagull speci — sects seem to mistakenly partake a hasty attempt to secure mat.

There are dozens of ias ed to expla homosexual behavur sects, which broadly fall to two tegori. Eher they suggt sect homosexualy has evolved bee actually helps mal have more offsprg, or that is not an evolutnary adaptatn and stead occurs when mal simply don’t regnise potential mat. In the former tegory, scientists have suggted male homosexual activi may rce matg petn by distractg or jurg other mal, or tablishg social allianc wh them or domance over them.

On the other hand, homosexual behavur sects may provi no evolutnary advantage and stead be due to nfn ed by environmental factors (as when u fli nsume alhol rottg u). Homosexualy is wily reported many beetle speci.

So those beetl who me om a group wh greater sexual petn were ls likely to show homosexual behavur. The implitn is that homosexual behavur sects, pecially the beetl, isn’t an evolutnary adaptatn bee, where there is the prsure of sexual petn, be ls mon over time. Instead, our rearch adds to the weight of evince suggtg sect homosexualy is the rult of poor mate-spottg abili, although we still don’t know exactly why this occurs.
