摘要
We studied the genetic mating system of the Dusky Antbird (Cercomacra tyrannina) in Panama using multilocus DNA fingerprinting. We found no evidence of extra-pair fertilization (EPF) in 15 offspring of nine families. We also found no evidence of intraspecific brood parasitism (ISBP) for 13 offspring in eight families.
