AIC model selection and multimodel inference in behavioral ecology: some background, observations, and comparisons (2011, background): “…to understanding EPP in birds have examined a diversity of behavioral and ecological correlates to parentage at both inter-and intraspecific levels (Griffith et al. 2002, Westneat and Stewart 2003, and Neudorf 2004 provide overviews); these factors are not typically considered in concert as…”
Mate guarding, male attractiveness, and paternity under social monogamy (2005, background): “Females of numerous socially monogamous species, particularly birds, have been shown to actively seek extrapair fertilizations (Griffith et al., 2002; Petrie et al., 1998; Westneat and Stewart, 2003; Westneat et al., 1990).”
Sociable schedules: interplay between avian seasonal and social behaviour (2006, background): “However, intraspecific studies have produced mixed evidence for this idea (Ims 1990; Griffith et al. 2002).”
Do extra‐pair paternities provide genetic benefits for female blue tits Parus caeruleus? (2004, unknown): “Indeed, we have gathered the three types of data which Griffith et al. (2002) considered as essential to distinguish between the main explanations: the distribution of EPY among broods, the distribution of EPY among males and the comparison between EPY and WPY.”
The influence of male age on within‐pair and extra‐pair paternity in passerines (2012, unknown): “The discovery of widespread genetic polyandry within passerines has greatly altered our perceptions of socially monogamous mating systems (Griffith et al. 2002).”
Low level of extrapair parentage in wild zebra finches (2010, background): “In birds, about 90% of all species form socially monogamous pair bonds, and in these species 11% of offspring, on average, are sired by an extrapair male (Griffith et al. 2002).”
Sneaking from a female perspective (2007, background): “Female often solicit extra-pair copulations (Griffith et al. 2002) and may bias sperm use in favour of particular males (Evans et al.”
ECOLOGY, LIFE-HISTORY, AND BEHAVIOR IN THE AUSTRALIAN SCINCID GENUS EGERNIA, WITH COMMENTS ON THE EVOLUTION OF COMPLEX SOCIALITY IN LIZARDS (2003, background): “Over 90% of birds are considered socially monogamous (Ford, 1983; Lack, 1968; Moller, 1986), for example, but genetic monogamy has been found in only 10– 25% of all birds studied (Griffith et al., 2002; Hasselquist and Sherman, 2001).”
Cooperation and Coordination in Socially Monogamous Birds: Moving Away From a Focus on Sexual Conflict (2019, background): “It is noteworthy that the most consistent determinant of the variation of the level of extrapair paternity across species is the annual mortality rate of the species—long-lived species have lower rates of extrapair paternity than short-lived species (Griffith et al., 2002; Botero and Rubenstein, 201”
Model averaging, missing data and multiple imputation: a case study for behavioural ecology (2010, background): “Given that previous work showed that the patterns of EPP can be influenced by factors such as male morphology, experience and genetic characteristics (Griffith et al. 2002), we consider that all of our predictors are biological meaningful.”
Lonely hearts or sex in the city? Density-dependent effects in mating systems (2006, background): “In other words, the same mate choice rule leads to stronger sexual selection at high density and, for example, evidence that extra-pair paternity correlates with breeding density could be seen to support this null model (this correlation appears to hold in within- but not across-species comparisons,”
Female infidelity and genetic compatibility in birds: the role of the genetically loaded raffle in understanding the function of extrapair paternity (2009, background): “To date, most discussions of the function of EPP to females have assumed the indirect genetic benefits to be largely additive (reviewed in Griffith et al. 2002 ).”
