	Gens In ancient Rome, a gens ( or , ; plural: ''gentes'' ) was a family consisting of individuals who shared the same nomen and who claimed descent from a common ancestor. A branch of a gens was called a ''stirps'' (plural: ''stirpes''). The ''gens'' was an important social structure at Rome and throughout Italia during the period of the Roman Republic. Much of individuals' social standing depended on the gens to which they belonged. Certain gentes were classified as patrician, others as plebeian; some had both patrician and plebeian branches. The importance of membership in a gens declined considerably in imperial times, although the ''gentilicium'' continued to be used and defined the origins and dynasties of Roman emperors.

	Gens (behaviour) In animal Ethology, behaviour, a gens (pl. gentes) or host race is a host-specific Lineage (evolution), lineage of a brood parasite species. Brood parasites, such as cuckoos, which use multiple Host (biology), host species to raise their chicks evolution, evolve different gentes, each one specific to its host species. This specialisation allows the parasites to lay eggs that Mimicry, mimic those of their hosts, which in turn reduces the chances of the eggs being rejected by the hosts, with about 5% of well-matched eggs compared to 72% of mismatched eggs rejected. The exact mechanisms of the evolution and maintenance of gens is still a matter of some research. However, it is believed that in common cuckoos, gens-specific properties are sex-linked and lie on the ZW sex-determination system, W chromosome of the female. Male cuckoos, which, like all male birds, have no W chromosome, are able to mate with females of any gens, and thereby maintain the cuckoo as one species. This is not ...
