'''Sexual jealousy''' is a special form of [[jealousy]] in [[human sexuality|sexual]] relationships, present in [[animal]]s that reproduce through [[internal fertilization]], such as the [[Madagascar hissing cockroach]], and based on suspected or imminent [[sexual infidelity]]. It is founded on the [[instinct]] of keeping [[gene]]s in the [[gene pool]] and expecting sexual partners to care for the [[offspring]]. The concept is studied in human and non-human [[primates]] in the field of [[evolutionary psychology]].
