Genetic relatedness of communally breeding guira cuckoos
Abstract
Abstract. A population of sexually monomorphic, communally breeding guira cuckoos, Guira guira, located near Brasilia, Brazil, was studied during three breeding seasons. Previous studies indicated considerable reproductive conflict among adults over contribution to the incubated clutch. In this study parentage and relatedness among nestlings were evaluated by DNA fingerprinting of samples from four nesting groups. The hypotheses tested were: …
