Sperm Length Variation as a Predictor of Extrapair Paternity in Passerine Birds
BACKGROUND: The rate of extrapair paternity is a commonly used index for the risk of sperm competition in birds, but paternity data exist for only a few percent of the approximately 10400 extant species. As paternity analyses require extensive field sampling and costly lab work, species coverage in...
