Genetic diversity does not explain variation in extra-pair paternity in multiple populations of a songbird.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 May 2015

Abstract excerpt

Many songbirds are socially monogamous but genetically polyandrous, mating with individuals outside their pair bonds. Extra-pair paternity (EPP) varies within and across species, but reasons for this variation remain unclear. One possible source of variation is population genetic diversity, which has been shown in interspecific meta-analyses to correlate with EPP but which has limited support from intraspecific...
