Extra-pair paternity in the socially monogamous white stork (Ciconia ciconia) is fairly common and independent of local density
SF Turjeman, A Centeno-Cuadros, U Eggers… - Scientific reports, 2016 - nature.com
Although many birds are socially monogamous, most (> 75%) studied species are not strictly
genetically monogamous, especially under high breeding density. We used molecular tools …

Certainty of paternity in two coucal species with divergent sex roles: the devil takes the hindmost
Background Certainty of paternity is considered an important factor in the evolution of
paternal care. Several meta-analyses across birds support this idea, particularly for species …

Shading by vegetation facilitates cryptic reproductive behaviour in a tropical songbird
Vegetation structural complexity surrounding nests can either provide concealment for
intruders and mates or make it more difficult for hosts to recognize parasitic eggs. We …

Multiple paternity in a wild population of the corn mouse: its potential adaptive significance for females
LV Sommaro, MB Chiappero, NS Vera… - Journal of …, 2015 - academic.oup.com
Mating with multiple males within a single reproductive event is a common female mating
strategy in mice and voles, but its adaptive function is often unclear. In this study, we used 7 …

Understanding variation in extra-pair paternity in birds: A focus on Neotropical birds
V Ferretti - Behavioral ecology of Neotropical birds, 2019 - Springer
Variation in life-history traits has long captivated ecologists and evolutionary biologists.
Classical studies of life-history theory identify latitudinal clines in life-history traits and, as a …

Absence of strict monogamy in the Eurasian jackdaw, Coloeus monedula
Abstract The Eurasian Jackdaw is thought to be archetypically monogamous, but recent
tagging research uncovered extra-pair copulations in the species. Here we examined extra …

Extra-pair paternity in the black-headed gull: is it exceptional among colonial waterbirds?
P Indykiewicz, P Podlaszczuk, P Minias - Behaviour, 2017 - brill.com
Although nesting at high densities promotes frequent interactions with individuals other than
social mates, the rate of extra-pair paternity (EPP) in colonial waterbirds is generally low. So …
