Funny quote : "Interestingly, we observed that males have larger eye rings in the pair-bonded and single conditions, but not in the non-preferred partner condition. This can be interpreted as that males suppressed the expression of sexual signals when the situation was not favourable."

Expressing their fidelity to their partner!?
