Evidence for a maternal effect benefiting extra-pair offspring in a songbird, the house wren Troglodytes aedon by Scott Johnson, L., Brubaker, Jessica L., Johnson, Bonnie G.P., Masters, Brian S.

“…Female birds are hypothesized to mate outside the pairbond to secure alleles that enhance the fitness potential of their offspring. To test this, researchers…”

How males in the house wren, a cavity-nesting songbird, discover that eggs have hatched and transition to provisioning nestlings by Scott Johnson, Brubaker, Jessica, Johnson, Bonnie

“…In many bird species that conceal nests within cavities or burrows, only females incubate eggs, but both sexes feed young after hatching. How males in such…”
