Answer:

The pelvic bones of whales are “one of the classic examples of a vestigial structure,” said Otárola-Castillo. “But what we found was that the shapes of these bones are highly associated with the mating systems of these whales and dolphins — species that are more promiscuous have more-complex-shaped pelves.”
