Extra‐pair paternity, breeding density, and synchrony in natural cavities versus nestboxes in two passerine birds
Most of what is known about extra‐pair paternity in hole‐nesting birds derives from studies
using artificial nesting sites, such as nestboxes. However, it has rarely been investigated …
