Genetic covariance between components of male reproductive success: within-pair vs. extra-pair paternity in song sparrows.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Oct 2014

Reid J M, Arcese P, Losdat S

Abstract excerpt

The evolutionary trajectories of reproductive systems, including both male and female multiple mating and hence polygyny and polyandry, are expected to depend on the additive genetic variances and covariances in and among components of male reproductive success achieved through different reproductive tactics. However, genetic covariances among key components of male reproductive success have not been estimated in...
