Social mating system, male parental care contribution and life history traits of a southern Sedge Wren (Cistothorus platensis platensis) population: a comparison with northern Sedge Wrens (Cistothorus platensis stellaris)

The study of geographic variation of social mating systems can shed new light on our understanding of how ecological variables shape extant mating associations. We report data on the social mating system, parental care and life history traits of a temperate population of southern Sedge Wrens (Cistot...

A similar pattern of low rates of social polygyny and smaller clutch sizes in the south versus moderate rates of social polygyny and bigger clutch sizes in the north has been reported for the House Wren (Troglodytes aedon).
