Female promiscuity is positively associated with neutral and selected genetic diversity in passerine birds.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 May 2013

Abstract excerpt

Passerine birds show large interspecific variation in extrapair paternity rates. There is accumulating evidence that such promiscuous behavior is driven by indirect, genetic benefits to females. Sexual selection theory distinguishes between two types of genetic benefits, additive and nonadditive effects, mediated by preferences for good and compatible genes, respectively. Good genes preferences should imply...
