taeniopygia guttataSocial and extra-pair mate choice for compatibility in the zebra finch

vendredi 18 décembre 2015, amphithéâtre Monge

Résumé

My research has focused on testing whether there is any kind of mate choice for genetic compatibility: do female avoid to breed with their sibling ? Do they choose genetically compatible males with whom they do not get high rate of embryo mortality ? Or can they compensate any genetic incompatibility with their partner by engaging in extra-pair copulation ? Additionally or alternatively, do they choose behaviorally compatible males with whom they are better able to raise chicks ?
