Although many birds are socially monogamous, most (> 75%) studied species are not strictly
genetically monogamous, especially under high breeding density. We used molecular tools …

Large-scale DNA sequence data may enable development of genetic resources in
endangered species, thereby facilitating conservation efforts. Ziziphus celata, a federally …

Extra‐pair copulations (EPCs) leading to extra‐pair fertilization (EPF) are common in avian
mating systems, despite the prevalence of observed social monogamy in many species …

Background DNA-based studies have demonstrated that avian genetic mating systems vary
widely, with many species deviating from long-assumed monogamy by practicing extra-pair …

Genealogical relationships among colony members, inbreeding status, and presence of
hybrids are crucial data that can assist zoo curators in captive colony management and …

We evaluated eight-year-old seedlings in a black walnut (Juglans nigra L.) progeny test for
two quantitative and two qualitative traits. We also used 12 microsatellite markers to …

Stock enhancement of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.), a fish of considerable economic and
social importance, is commonplace. Supportive-breeding is a well-recognised method of …

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 …

Colonial waterbirds such as herons, egrets and spoonbills exhibit ecological characteristics
that could have promoted the evolution of conspecific brood parasitism and extra-pair …

The white‐faced ibis Plegadis chihi Vieillot, 1817 (Pelecaniformes: Threskiornithidae) is a
socially monogamous colonially breeding bird in which behavioral and ecological …
