Temperate-Tropical Variation in Breeding Synchrony and Extra-Pair Paternity Among New World Tachycineta Swallows
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019-09)
Extra-pair paternity rates vary markedly across avian taxa, but patterns of variation in this trait have been obscured by a paucity of data on closely related species, especially those spanning broad environmental gradients. ...
Ecological opportunities and individual condition as predictors of extra-pair paternity in a south-temperate swallow (Tachycineta leucorrhoa)
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-09)
Ecological and physiological factors such as breeding density, breeding synchrony, and adult body condition can all affect extra-pair mating behavior, but the relative importance of these factors may vary among species. ...
Female extra-pair behavior is not associated with reduced paternal care in thorn-tailed Rayadito
(Wiley, 2021)
Extra-pair behavior is present in 76% of socially monogamous bird species with biparental care. This behavior may produce costs to females related to a reduction in paternal care. We estimated the percentage of extra-pair ...
Genetic evidence of extra-pair paternity and intraspecific brood parasitism in the monk parakeet
(Biomed Central Ltd, 2013-11)
Introduction: The monk parakeet (Myiopsitta monachus) is a widespread invasive species native to southern South America that has become established in many regions of the world. Monk parakeets breed in a large, fully ...
Extra-Pair Paternity in a Socially Monogamous Neotropical Tanager, the Ringed Warbling-Finch Poospiza torquata
(Polish Academy of Sciences. Museum and Institute of Zoology, 2018-01)
Social monogamy with genetic polygamy is a frequent mating system in birds. In Passeriformes, extra-pair paternity (EPP) was reported in 86% of the studied species, with high variation in occurrence and frequency within ...
Correlates of genetic monogamy in socially monogamous mammals: insights from Azara’s owl monkeys
(The Royal Society, 2014-02)
Understanding the evolution of mating systems, a central topic in evolutionary biology for more than 50 years, requires examining the genetic consequences of mating and the relationships between social systems and mating ...
Mating opportunities, paternity, and sexual conflict: Paternal care in northern and southern temperate house wrens
(Springer, 2012-02)
Males are generally predicted to care less for their young when they have more additional mating opportunities, lower paternity, or when their mates care more. We tested these predictions using male provisioning as a proxy ...
Molecular evidence of extra-pair paternity and intraspecific brood parasitism by the Magellanic Penguin (Spheniscus magellanicus)
(Springer, 2020-01)
Molecular studies have shown that, although most avian species are socially monogamous, they can exhibit different reproductive strategies, such as extra-pair paternity (EPP) and intraspecific brood parasitism (IBP). We ...
Individual quality and extra-pair paternity in the blue tit: sexy males bear the costs.
(Wiley, 2020)
Adaptive explanations for the evolution of extra-pair paternity (EPP) suggest that females seek extra-pair copulations with high quality males. Still, the link between ornamentation, individual quality, and paternity remains ...
Genetic mating system, population genetics and effective size of Saffron Finches breeding in southern South America
(Springer, 2019-08)
Thraupidae (Tanagers and allies) show a remarkable array of behaviors, ecologies, morphologies and plumage colors, offering a great opportunity to investigate the evolution of avian mating strategies. We characterize the ...
