In 1948, Angus Bateman published a paper on fruit flies that tested Charles Darwin's ideas
of sexual selection. Based on this one fruit fly study, Bateman concluded that because males …

Fisheries bycatch is a major threat to seabird populations, and understanding sex-and age-
biases in bycatch rates is important for assessing population-level impacts. We analysed 44 …

To understand interspecific patterns in the strength of sexual selection, variation in the costs
and benefits of exercising mate choice needs to be evaluated. One manifestation of sexual …

Only≈ 2600 black rhinoceros survive today, mainly in small, isolated populations of< 100
animals. The management of remaining black rhinoceros populations aims at preserving …

As large, long-lived seabirds with delayed and slow reproduction, albatrosses have low
intrinsic mortality rates and are especially vulnerable to extinction from extrinsic sources of …

Warblers (Dendroica caerulescens). However, they did observe a positive relationship
between EPFs and local breeding synchrony. Females with neighbors at similar breeding …

Historical records suggest that the petrels of Round Island (near Mauritius, Indian Ocean)
represent a recent, long‐distance colonization by species originating from the Atlantic and …

We studied the timing and frequency of extra-pair copulations and extra-pair fertilizations in
the Black-legged Kittiwake (Rissa tridactyla), a socially monogamous seabird that breeds in …

Abstract “Monogamy” refers to different components of pair exclusiveness: the social pair,
sexual partners, and the genetic outcome of sexual encounters. Avian monogamy is usually …

Although 92% of avian species are socially monogamous, extra‐pair copulation (EPC),
resulting in extra‐pair paternity (EPP), is a common reproductive strategy in birds. Among …
