Mate guarding, male attractiveness, and paternity under social monogamy (2005, background): “Black-throated blue warbler Dendroica caerulescens males with many extrapair opportunities have been shown to guard less and consequently end up with less paternity in their own broods (Chuang-Dobbs et al., 2001).”
Extra-Pair Paternity in Birds: Causes, Correlates, and Conflict (2003, unknown): “1999) and black-throated blue warblers (Chuang-Dobbs et al. 2001b).”
Plumage color and reproduction in the red-backed fairy-wren: Why be a dull breeder? (2008, background): “One possible explanation is that dull males guard their mates more closely than do bright males (Karubian 2002), which may constrain a female’s ability to copulate with preferred extrapair males (Komdeur et al. 1999; Chuang-Dobbs et al. 2001).”
