Age trajectories in extra‐pair siring success suggest an effect of maturation or early‐life experience
E Schlicht, B Kempenaers - Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2023 - academic.oup.com
Across birds, male age is the most consistent predictor of extra‐pair siring success, yet little
is known about age effects on paternity over the lifetime of individuals. Here, we use data …

Reduced fitness in progeny from old parents in a natural population
A nongenetic, transgenerational effect of parental age on offspring fitness has been
described in many taxa in the laboratory. Such a transgenerational fitness effect will have …

Evolution of female promiscuity in Passerides songbirds
Background Female promiscuity is highly variable among birds, and particularly among
songbirds. Comparative work has identified several patterns of covariation with social …

Male age is associated with extra-pair paternity, but not with extra-pair mating behaviour
Extra-pair paternity is the result of copulation between a female and a male other than her
social partner. In socially monogamous birds, old males are most likely to sire extra-pair …

Extra‐pair paternity and sexual dimorphism in birds
Differences in the strength of sexual selection between males and females can lead to
sexual dimorphism. Extra‐pair paternity (EPP) can increase the variance in male …

Adjustment of costly extra-group paternity according to inbreeding risk in a cooperative mammal
Females of many animal species seek mating opportunities with multiple males, despite
being able to obtain sufficient sperm to father their offspring from a single male. In animals …

The influence of nonrandom extra-pair paternity on heritability estimates derived from wild pedigrees
Quantitative genetic analysis is often fundamental for understanding evolutionary processes
in wild populations. Avian populations provide a model system due to the relative ease of …
