Environmental and parental influences on offspring health and growth in great tits (Parus major).

PloS one - 1 Jan 2013

Pickett Simon R A, Weber Sam B, McGraw Kevin J, Norris Ken J, Evans Matthew R

Abstract excerpt

Sexual selection requires both that there is heritable variation in traits related to fitness, and that either some of this variation is linked to traits of the parents, and/or that there are direct benefits of choosing particular individuals as mates. This suggests that if direct benefits are important offspring performance should be predicted by traits of the rearing adults. But if indirect benefits are more...
