Personality is associated with extrapair paternity in great tits, Parus major
Animals differ in their behaviour comparable to how humans differ in personality: individuals
consistently differ in suites of correlated traits. Relationships between 'personality traits' and …

The macroecology of extra‐pair paternity in birds
Extra‐pair paternity (EPP) is a key aspect of the mating behaviour of birds and its frequency
varies widely among populations and species. Several hypotheses predict patterns of …

Maternal effects contribute to the superior performance of extra-pair offspring
The explanation for extra-pair mating in female birds remains poorly understood and
contentious [1–7]. Several leading hypotheses propose that females benefit indirectly by …

Experimentally advancing morning emergence time does not increase extra-pair siring success in blue tit males
P Santema, B Kempenaers - Behavioral Ecology, 2023 - academic.oup.com
Extra-pair paternity occurs frequently in socially monogamous birds, but there is substantial
variation in extra-pair siring success among males. Several studies have shown that siring …

Spatial patterns of extra‐pair paternity: beyond paternity gains and losses
L Schlicht, M Valcu, B Kempenaers - Journal of Animal Ecology, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Most studies on extra‐pair paternity (EPP) focus either on a specific male's extra‐pair gains
or his extra‐pair losses. For an individual bird however, mate choice or mate availability may …

Sources of (co)variation in alternative siring routes available to male great tits (Parus major)
Males of socially monogamous species can increase their siring success via within‐pair and
extra‐pair fertilizations. In this study, we focused on the different sources of (co) variation …

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 …

A strong genetic correlation underlying a behavioural syndrome disappears during development because of genotype–age interactions
B Class, JE Brommer - … of the Royal Society B: Biological …, 2015 - royalsocietypublishing.org
In animal populations, as in humans, behavioural differences between individuals that are
consistent over time and across contexts are considered to reflect personality, and suites of …

Current analyses do not resolve whether extra-pair paternity is male or female driven
S Eliassen, H Kokko - Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 2008 - Springer
Recent studies question the importance of indirect genetic effects in explaining female
benefits of extra-pair matings in socially monogamous species. Compiling data on 14 wild …

Heritability of female extra-pair paternity rate in song sparrows (Melospiza melodia)
The forces driving the evolution of extra-pair reproduction in socially monogamous animals
remain widely debated and unresolved. One key hypothesis is that female extra-pair …
