Male heterozygosity predicts territory size, song structure and reproductive success in a cooperatively breeding bird.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Sept 2004

Seddon Nathalie, Amos William, Mulder Raoul A, Tobias Joseph A

Abstract excerpt

Recent studies of non-social animals have shown that sexually selected traits signal at least one measure of genetic quality: heterozygosity. To determine whether similar cues reveal group quality in more complex social systems, we examined the relationship between territory size, song structure and heterozygosity in the subdesert mesite (Monias benschi), a group-living bird endemic to Madagascar. Using nine...
