• Primary sex ratio adjustment to experimentally reduced male UV attractiveness in blue tits (2006, background): “…from theory (Trivers and Willard 1973; Burley 1981) and seems rather inconsistent between study populations and years (Sheldon et al. 1999; Leech et al. 2001; Griffith et al. 2003; our study), does not necessarily indicate that blue tit primary sex ratio variation is nonadaptive or…”
• Early birds are sexy: male age, dawn song and extrapair paternity in blue tits, Cyanistes (formerly Parus) caeruleus (2006, background): “In the blue tit about 40e65% of broods contain young that are fathered by males other than the social mate (Kempenaers et al. 1992, 1997; Leech et al. 2001; Delhey et al. 2003) and these extrapair matings increase variability in male reproductive success because they are not reciprocal (Kempenaers…”

• Use of Buccal Swabs for Sampling DNA from Nestling and Adult Birds (2006, methodology): “…helicase DNA-binding (CHD) gene (Griffiths et al. 1998), the occurrence of extra-pair paternity can be assessed using DNA-microsatellite genotyping (Leech et al. 2001), and the degree of population structuring can be evaluated by sequencing mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and genotyping microsatellites…”
• Do extra‐pair paternities provide genetic benefits for female blue tits Parus caeruleus? (2004, methodology): “We used phenotypic male traits for which we know they have a genetic basis (Charmantier et al. 2004) and which have been used by many authors as indicators of male quality (Kempenaers et al. 1997, Krokene et al. 1998, Strohbach et al. 1998, Leech et al. 2001).”
