Mate Opportunity Hypothesis and Extrapair Paternity in Waved Albatrosses (phoebastria Irrorata)
A .—Early arrival at breeding sites can infl uence reproductive success through enhanced access to critical resources such as nest sites or mates. One hypothesis explaining protandry, or male-fi rst arrival at breeding sites, proposes that males arrive earlier to increase their extrapair copulation (EPC) opportunities, which may, in turn, enhance males’ reproductive success through extrapair fe...

متن کاملNon-breeding season events influence sexual selection in a long-distance migratory bird.
The study of sexual selection has traditionally focused on events and behaviours immediately surrounding copulation. In this study, we examine whether carry-over effects from the non-breeding season can influence the process of sexual selection in a long-distance migratory bird, the American redstart (Setophaga ruticilla). Previous work on American redstarts demonstrated that overwintering in a...
متن کاملContext-dependent sexual advertisement: plasticity in development of sexual ornamentation throughout the lifetime of a passerine bird.
Male investment into sexual ornamentation is a reproductive decision that depends on the context of breeding and life history state. In turn, selection for state- and context-specific expression of sexual ornamentation should favour the evolution of developmental pathways that enable the flexible allocation of resources into sexual ornamentation. We studied lifelong variation in the expression ...
متن کاملExperimental food supplementation reveals habitat-dependent male reproductive investment in a migratory bird.
Environmental factors can shape reproductive investment strategies and influence the variance in male mating success. Environmental effects on extrapair paternity have traditionally been ascribed to aspects of the social environment, such as breeding density and synchrony. However, social factors are often confounded with habitat quality and are challenging to disentangle. We used both natural ...
