Paternal investment inversely related to degree of extra-pair paternity in the reed bunting
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
An exceptionally high proportion of extra-pair paternity is found in a wild population of reed buntings using single-locus DNA fingerprinting and it is proposed that males can assess their likelihood of paternity and adjust their nestling provisioning rates accordingly.
