Additive genetic variance, heritability, and inbreeding depression in male extra-pair reproductive success.

The American naturalist - 1 Feb 2011

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

Abstract excerpt

The hypothesis that female extra-pair reproduction in socially monogamous animals reflects indirect genetic benefits requires that there be additive and/or nonadditive genetic variance in fitness. However, the specific hypotheses that male extra-pair reproductive success (EPRS) shows additive genetic variance (V(A)), heritability (h2), or inbreeding depression, and hence that females could acquire indirect...
