DOI: 10.1002/ajp.22738
Abstract: Genetic analyses of parentage sometimes reveal that “socially monogamous” (pair‐living) species do not reside in strict family groups. Circumstances such as adult turnovers and extra‐pair copulations, among others, may result in non‐nuclear families. These genetic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.6850
Abstract: Abstract Studies on extrapair paternity (EPP) are key to understanding the ecological and evolutionary drivers of variation in avian mating strategies, but information is currently lacking for most tropical and subtropical taxa. We describe the… read more here.

Abstract: Pair bonding (i.e. individuals showing a preference for a specific opposite-sex individual) has been demonstrated in several socially monogamous species. However, social bonds also occur in nonmonogamous species, but have received less attention. Currently, we… read more here.

When to Cheat: Modeling Dynamics of Paternity and Promiscuity in Socially Monogamous Prairie Voles (Microtus ochrogaster)

DOI: 10.3389/fevo.2018.00141
Abstract: In many socially monogamous species, individuals form long-term pair bonds and males mate guard females. Such behavior is thought to help secure intra-pair fertilizations, the result of intra-pair copulations (IPCs), and ensure paternity. However, socially… read more here.
