Kin-Lan Han, Auteur ; Rebecca T. Kimball, Auteur ; James A. Cox, AuteurHabitat fragmentation has often been implicated in the decline of many species. For habitat specialists and/or sedentary species, loss of habitat can result in population isolation and lead to negative genetic effects. However, factors other tha[...]Article
Ye Gong, Auteur ; Rebecca T. Kimball, Auteur ; Colette St Mary, Auteur ; Xiang Cui, Auteur ; Lin Wang, Auteur ; Yunlei Jiang, Auteur ; Haitao Wang, AuteurConspecific brood parasitism (CBP) is a widespread female alternative reproductive tactic, where clutches tended by a single female contain eggs laid by different females. CBP is disproportionately common in waterfowl, where females, not males, [...]Article
Kin-Lan Han, Auteur ; James A. Cox, Auteur ; Rebecca T. Kimball, AuteurABSTRACT Cooperatively breeding birds employ a variety of mating strategies, and we do not fully understand breeding group structure and the range of reproductive strategies used by group members. We examined group structure and parentage in a p[...]Article
Alan H. Krakauer, Auteur ; Rebecca T. Kimball, AuteurMode of development in birds helps determine the form of brood parasitism a species exhibits. Most knowledge of precocial brood parasites comes from a single avian family, the waterfowl (Anatidae: Anseriformes). Here we review cases of interspec[...]Article
Rebecca T. Kimball, Auteur ; Edward L. Braun, AuteurMany species in the avian order Galliformes have bare (or "fleshy") regions on their head, ranging from simple featherless regions to specialized structures such as combs or wattles. Sexual selection for these traits has been demonstrated in sev[...]Article
Nestmate killing by obligate brood parasitic chicks: is this linked to obligate siblicidal behavior?
Ning Wang, Auteur ; Rebecca T. Kimball, AuteurThe remarkable phenomenon of nestmate killing behavior among some birds that are obligate brood parasites (OBP) has fascinated scientific researchers for hundreds of years. This "nestmate-cide" behavior has been found in two clades of OBP birds [...]Article
W. Andrew Cox, Auteur ; Rebecca T. Kimball, Auteur ; Edward L. Braun, Auteur ; J. Klicka, AuteurAbstract The evolutionary relationship between the New World quail (Odontophoridae) and other groups of Galliformes has been an area of debate. In particular, the relationship between the New World quail and guineafowl (Numidinae) has been diffi[...]Article
Ning Wang, Auteur ; Rebecca T. Kimball, AuteurThe evolution of cooperative breeding (CB) in birds has aroused intensive interest for decades, largely due to the paradox that some adults forgo independent breeding to help others. While much effort has been directed at understanding the adapt[...]
