Genetic benefits of female from extra-pair paternity are context dependent within the socially monogamous Tree Sparrow

Avian Research
Females actively seek extra-pair paternity (EPP) to acquire a fitness advantage for their offspring. The “context-dependence hypothesis” posits that female extra-pair mate choice has plasticity in response to environmental conditions, and therefore ...
