Why some species of birds do not avoid inbreeding: insights from New Zealand robins and saddlebacks (2009, unknown): “Superb fairy-wren Cooperative Yes Forgo breeding with kin Cockburn et al. (2003) Savannah sparrow Single pairs Yes Nonrandom mate choice Wheelwright et al.”
Sound familiar? Acoustic similarity provokes responses to unfamiliar heterospecific alarm calls (2011, background): “Fairy-wrens breed cooperatively, with groups typically consisting of a dominant pair that may be assisted by up to several subordinate males (Cockburn et al. 2003).”
Constraints on control: factors influencing reproductive success in male mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx) (2005, unknown): “Relatedness, incest avoidance, and female mate choice Mechanisms of inbreeding avoidance are well documented in vertebrate societies (Cockburn et al., 2003; Griffin et al., 2003; Mateo, 2003; Pusey and Wolf, 1996; Stow and Sunnucks, 2004; Yu et al., 2004).”
Sex differences in rates of territory joining and inheritance in a cooperatively breeding cichlid fish (2006, background): “In some species, females retain natal territories and males disperse (Holekamp & Sherman 1989), and in others, females disperse from the natal territories and males inherit (Pruett-Jones & Lewis 1990; Komdeur & Edelaar 2001; Cockburn et al. 2003).”
Reproductive promiscuity in the splendid fairy-wren: effects of group size and auxiliary reproduction (2004, background): “Our data confirm this prediction for splendid fairy-wrens, as auxiliaries sired within-group offspring in approximately one-half of the cases in which a new female joined the group (see also Cockburn et al., 2003; Piper and Slater, 1993; Rabenold et al., 1990).”
Genetic similarity of social mates predicts the level of extrapair paternity in splendid fairy-wrens (2005, background): “Both processes may lead to females frequently pairing socially with suboptimal (genetically similar) males (Brooker & Rowley 1995; Cockburn et al. 2003).”
Flexible cuckoo chick-rejection rules in the superb fairy-wren (2009, background): “However, due to the long-distance dispersal typical of females in their first year (Cockburn et al. 2003), most females arrived from outside the study area.”
