- Na ewolucję i utrzymywanie się adelfofagii może wpływać wieloojcostwo jednego miotu (np. u N. georgianus kopulacja następuje z 2–3 partnerami równocześnie) i możliwość rozpoznawania pokrewieństwa w lęgu (Bosch i Slattery 1999).
- The evolution and persistence of adelfophagy may be influenced by the polypaternity of one litter (e.g. in N. georgianus, copulation occurs with 2-3 partners simultaneously) and the ability to recognize kinship in a brood (Bosch and Slattery 1999).
