Double decomposition: decomposing the variance in subcomponents of male extra-pair reproductive success.

The Journal of animal ecology - 1 Sept 2015

Losdat Sylvain, Arcese Peter, Reid Jane M

Abstract excerpt

1. Extra-pair reproductive success (EPRS) is a key component of male fitness in socially monogamous systems and could cause selection on female extra-pair reproduction if extra-pair offspring (EPO) inherit high value for EPRS from their successful extra-pair fathers. However, EPRS is itself a composite trait that can be fully decomposed into subcomponents of variation, each of which can be further decomposed into...
