- Extra-pair paternity in the monogamous alpine marmot (Marmota marmota): the roles of social setting and female mate choice (2006, background): “Even if dominants have an interest in keeping subordinate males within the group, the strength of ecological constraints may allow reproductive concession to be null for all subordinates ( Verhencamp 1983 ).”
- Personality is associated with extrapair paternity in great tits, Parus major (2008, positive): “Westneat & Stewart (2003) stated that EPP is a consequence of the behavioural interaction between the female, the social male and the extrapair male.”
- High levels of environmental noise erode pair preferences in zebra finches: implications for noise pollution (2007, background): “Pair bonds not only affect many aspects of cooperative breeding behaviours between males and females, but also mask extensive variation in extrapair behaviours and extrapair paternity, EPP (Griffith et al. 2002; Westneat & Stewart 2003; Neudorf 2004).”
- Lonely hearts or sex in the city? Density-dependent effects in mating systems (2006, background): “The net effect is unclear, however, because paternity is a complicated outcome of behavioural interactions (Thusius et al. 2001; Westneat & Stewart 2003).”
- Extra-pair paternity in birds: review of the genetic benefits (2007, background): “Specifically, genetic benefits need to be considered in a multi-player interaction scheme (Westneat and Stewart, 2003), where ecological constraints could restrict extra-pair copulation behaviour [e.”
- Alternative reproductive tactics and life history phenotypes (2010, background): “Highly unpredictable conditions, for example regarding partner availability, competition and tactic-specific risk, may favour also simultaneous ARTs, which are common in fishes (Taborsky 1994), anurans (Zamudio and Chan 2008), and birds (Westneat and Stewart 2003).”
- Extrapair paternity and the opportunity for sexual selection in long-distant migratory passerines (2007, background): “Females may be less ‘‘choosy’’ during social pairing if any delay in breeding incurs fitness costs to them ( Westneat et al. 1990 ), and these costs of delay can be expected high in long-distance migratory species.”
