Zusammenfassung:Haggerty et al use multilocus DNA fingerprinting to examine paternity and intraspecific brood parasitism in Carolina Wrens, a socially monogamous species that maintains a year-round pair bond and territory. They also report on breeding synchrony in Carolina Wrens because it is an ecological factor that may be related to paternity.
