Extrapair Paternity and Sexual Selection in Socially Monogamous Birds: Are Tropical Birds Different?

Nest predation research: recent findings and future perspectives (2015, background): “In particular, parental effort is expected to increase with increasing adult mortality, but decrease with increasing offspring mortality (Law 1979; Michod 1979; Charlesworth 1980; Martin 2002, 2004).”
Predators and the breeding bird: behavioral and reproductive flexibility under the risk of predation (2009, background): “This work has not only illuminated the biology of birds, but influenced a great deal of early and current thinking in the study of evolutionary ecology (Martin, 2004).”
