The causes and implications of sex role diversity in shorebird breeding systems
Males and females often exhibit different behaviours during mate acquisition, pair‐bonding
and parenting, and a convenient label to characterize these behaviours is sex role. The …

Sex roles in birds: phylogenetic analyses of the influence of climate, life histories and social environment
Sex roles describe sex differences in courtship, mate competition, social pair‐bonds and
parental care. A key challenge is to identify associations among the components and the …

these behaviours are labelled sex roles. The Darwin–Bateman paradigm argues that the …
