Structure of Social Networks in a Passerine Bird: Consequences for Sexual Selection and the Evolution of Mating Strategies

TL;DR: Network analysis is used to examine patterns of male social behavior in relation to plumage ornamentation and mating success in a free‐living population of house finches and concludes that males that frequently moved between social groups had greater pairing success than less social individuals with equivalent sexual ornamentation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolution on a local scale: developmental, functional, and genetic bases of divergence in bill form and associated changes in song structure between adjacent habitats.

TL;DR: The results suggest that divergent selection on function and development of traits involved in production of mating signals, in combination with localized learning of such signals, can be very effective at maintaining local adaptations, even at small spatial scales and in highly mobile animals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adaptive genetic complementarity in mate choice coexists with selection for elaborate sexual traits

TL;DR: Across 10 breeding seasons in a wild bird population, strong fitness benefits of matings between genetically unrelated partners are found and it is shown that self-referential choice of genetically unrelated mates alternates with sexual selection on elaborate plumage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sex-biased maternal effects reduce ectoparasite-induced mortality in a passerine bird

TL;DR: Strong maternal effects can account for frequently observed, but theoretically unexpected, concordance of mortality risks and growth patterns, especially under fluctuating ecological conditions.
