Reconstructing genetic mating systems in the absence of parental information in colonially breeding waterbirds.

BMC evolutionary biology - 8 Jul 2011

Miño Carolina I, Russello Michael A, Mussi Gonçalves Priscila F, Del Lama Silvia N

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: DNA-based studies have demonstrated that avian genetic mating systems vary widely, with many species deviating from long-assumed monogamy by practicing extra-pair paternity and conspecific brood parasitism. Colonially breeding waterbirds provide interesting models in which to investig...
