Restrictive mating by females on black grouse leks.

Molecular ecology - 1 Oct 2007

Lebigre C, Alatalo R V, Siitari H, Parri S

Abstract excerpt

In bird species with pair bonds, extra-pair matings could allow females to choose genetically superior males. This is not needed in lekking species because female choice is not constrained by pairing opportunities. However, polyandry has been reported in most lekking species studied so far. Using 12 microsatellite loci, we determined the paternity of 135 broods of black grouse sampled between 2001 and 2005 (970...
