Polyandrous?

I've heard in a forum that Megapodes, Guttera guineafowl, Roul Roul, Mearn's Quail and Ithaginis Blood Pheasants are polyandrous and that the Polyplectrons' ancestors were also polyandrous. This person on the forum is Kermit Blackwood, who has done comprehensive work on gallinate birds. His research revealed that Polyplectrons, Galloperdix, and Haematortyx should be part of a distinct family of galliform birds.[1]

But perhaps Kermit's most impressive hypothesis is about the Green Peafowl. His research revealed that the Green Peafowl is actually a complex of several distinct species. He also discovered that the Green Peafowl are also monogamous (Red Data Book says he suggested this in 2000). Peafowl are also part of their own family with the Argus "pheasants".

Much of Kermit's work would be currently labelled as citation needed or no WP:RS, due to the lack of any RS right now. However, his findings will be published in the next few years. In 2000 he showed some of his literature to the Red Data Book, which accepted his hypotheses, not including anything listed above except for the monogamous thing, those hypotheses were not even made, but all sorts of other crucial information he had by far confirmed (unusual Yunnan form of Green Peafowl, Imperial Pheasant being a hybrid).Frankyboy5 03:25, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Not true polyandry...

He told me it is not true polyandry but instead a complex helper system in which males related to the alpha male help him raise his young, defend him etc. Kermit even told me that Indian Peafowl do this in the wild! Only the alpha pair breeds.

Scientific Name

I am confused on the scientific name for this species.. i see it spelled 2 different ways, which is correct? on here i see it spelled as Rollulus rouloul and some other places, including the zoo i just went to spells it Rollulus roulroul on its species sign.. So which is the right name? --Ltshears (talk) 14:11, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
