Heritability of female extra-pair paternity rate in song sparrows (Melospiza melodia).

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Apr 2011

Reid Jane M, Arcese Peter, Sardell Rebecca J, Keller Lukas F

Abstract excerpt

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 reproduction evolves through indirect genetic benefits, reflecting increased additive genetic value of extra-pair offspring. Such evolution requires that a female's propensity to produce offspring that are sired by an extra-pair male is...
